Given a choice I to prefer to support smaller stores or service oriented suppliers as compared to big box places. There is a definite value to these places. I just wanted to clarify that just because you pay more does not mean you are getting any better product. There are only a few battery manufacturers left. Many of the known brands are simply marketers. Some may not even use the same supplier year after year.

Most very small towns even have them, so should you need warranty or diagnostics with a NAPA battery you can get it. The Wal Marts I have been to mostly haven't had any 'service' dept. for stuff like autoparts. I have always found fairly good knowledge and helpful service at the NAPA stores I've dealt with....some in really 'obscure' towns.. Wal Mart is probably cheaper.. Don Hanson |
