I’ve been looking into getting a new battery for my car and thinking about heading to AutoZone. I’ve read mixed things about their installation services. I’m wondering:
Do they charge extra for battery installation if I buy the battery from them?
Are the installation services really free as some sources suggest?
What should I expect when I go to get it done?
I just want to make sure I’m making a smart choice especially with costs in mind. Any insights or personal experiences would be really helpful. Thanks!
I’ve been checking out battery installation fees recently, and from my experience, AutoZone usually charges about $15 for installation. It seems reasonable compared to other retailers like Advance Auto Parts, which can go as high as $25 in some locations.
That’s true! The prices can vary quite a bit. O’Reilly often has competitive pricing, sometimes even offering free installation if you buy a battery from them.
Local mechanics can vary a lot. I found one that charges $20 for installation, which isn’t too bad. Plus, they usually do a thorough check on your electrical system too!
I love AutoZone’s rewards program! I’ve saved quite a bit that way. Just don’t forget to check if your local store has any current promotions on battery installations, that can make a big difference.
So, to sum it up, if you want convenience and competitive pricing, AutoZone is a solid choice. Can anyone share if they had any installation issues with them?
I recently got a battery from AutoZone and the installation process was pretty smooth. They usually charge around $15 for the installation, but if you buy the battery from them, they’ll often waive that fee. Expect about 30 minutes for the whole process.
The tools were very basic, mostly just a wrench to disconnect the battery terminals and a tool to secure the new battery. They didn’t need much help from me, which was great! Just make sure to remove any personal items near the battery before you go.
