Since 1985, we've been Charlottesville's go-to solution for all kinds of batteries — and all the things you might to need to service & hook-them-up.
For the majority of our first 30+ years we operated out of the Old Monticello Dairy Building (on the corner of Preston & Grady): but in July of 2018 we moved to our new location on 750 Harris Street (near Southern States). Though the parking is a whole lot better — nothing else has really changed: Top quality products, friendly/knowledgeable service, and fantastic prices are still the things which set us apart from all the others.
We encourage you to read our Google reviews & ask your friends: There you will find the proof of what we strive to be —
"The right way to buy batteries" :-)

What clients say about Central Battery Specialists in Charlottesville (VA)
Wow I was so stressed out and they completely put me at easy. Couldn’t have possibly hoped for better help and the price was far below what I was expected. Well done! This will be the spot I will go to and refer to others.
Always friendly and helpful and lots of batteries in stock, they will have any type of battery that you need. They’ll test your old battery too to make sure it’s really bad.
I showed up 10 minutes before closing on the day before 4th of July. My car seemed to be having battery issues. They tested my battery, found that it was faulty, and replaced it quickly and happily. Kevin is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. He, and his staff, went out of their way to help me out in my time of need. I wouldn't recommend you go anywhere else for your battery needs.
Ryan was a great help with my generator battery! He gave great advice and excellent customer service. Will definitely come back and ask for him next time I need anything battery related!!
Jack was such a great help with my car battery and replaced it quickly! I had a wonderful experience and highly recommend anyone to come here with car battery issues!
Highly recommend! I received kind, courteous customer service. They installed my new battery quickly and the price was much lower than I had been quoted at chain auto parts stores. It’s worth it to support local business.
I have been shopping here for many years. It is a great experience every time! They are always very helpful and guide me towards the product that will be best suited to my needs. They always go the extra mile.
These guys were great! They were very courteous, professional and got my car battery replaced very quickly! Made my bad day a lot better! Thanks again! Highly suggest going here instead of the other chain auto stores!

This is the best place to go, Jack was incredible he knew so much and willing to go the extra mile if you needed it. This place is great, authentic, tells it like it is and Jack reflects this initiative- Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!
The appearance of a old timey neighborhood shop with the professionalism that'll match any of the big leagues, all with a competitive pricing.
They'll tell you the straight truth on the state of your battery, you'll do well to heed their expertise.
Had some old tool batteries that were past their prime and was happy to learn that Central Battery Specialists accepts these and many other kinds of batteries for recycling.
Drop off was super quick and easy, and I'll definitely be back. Thanks!
This place had the best price on the battery I needed. They were friendly and could not have been more helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Thank you all very much
Dave helped my family out. He diagnosed our battery and gave us sound advice. He let us know that we could continue to use the battery we already had, but educated us on what to look for moving forward. He was so helpful that we went ahead and bought a battery and our car feels brand new. He was kind, insightful and helpful. I highly recommend paying them a visit for your battery needs.
Central Battery once again impressed me with their expertise and speed of service. Their technician Dave installed the new battery very quickly and efficiently. Total time spent from removal of the old battery to driving away with a new battery was 25 minutes! Outstanding!
Central Battery Specialists is the place to go for all your battery needs. They are professional, fair, and reliable. Thank you for providing exemplary customer service! 10 Stars in my book!
Great service! Jack answered all of my questions over the phone and helped me in person the following day. I had an 8 year old battery that had corroded pretty severely. Jack cleaned everything up, removed the old battery and installed a new one in 30 minutes time. Really good price on the battery as well. Highly recommend these guys. Very professional, polite, straightforward and no nonsense.
Many thanks to Jack for testing the battery in my son’s car, confirming that it needed a replacement, and quickly installing a new one. Such a great shop with friendly, knowledgeable service. Definitely recommend!
Excellent service. Guy helped me find exactly what I needed and even let me bring 2 batteries to make sure I got what fit. Employees knew everyone’s name, clearly a lot of regulars. Would absolutely recommend them.
I've been buying batteries at Central Battery almost since they opened, and during this time sometimes for multiple vehicles of various types. Always great service, fair prices, and so far their batteries have always outlasted the original equipment batteries. They have expertise, perform meticulous installation, and care about getting it right.
