Batteries & Things — Local services in LaSalle

Do your research before buying batteries from here. They quadruple the price of batteries. My dad bought a battery from here for $65-$70 to fix up his lawn mower. He also needed the charger, which was around $35, but he did not end up getting it. I asked him if he looked online for those batteries, and predictably, he said no. So, I went online to look up the exact same type of battery he bought. Sure enough, I found them. There was a two-pack of the same batteries for only $20, and a charger included on Amazon for $15. We went back to the store the next day to return the battery, receipt and everything. When we got there, the lady gave us a hassle, almost as if they didn't want to take the battery back.

She never acknowledged we were there even though we waited patiently for her to do so/serve us. After 5+ minutes of waiting for her to help us we walked out. Will never try to shop there again. They need us far more than...

If you need a replacement key FOB this is the place. The gentleman who helped me seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. They carry a nice inventory of batteries (even less common ones) I had a watch battery i couldn't find anywhere else and they had it at a very reasonable price at that. Easy to park. Their store front is very clean and organized. I think a little advertising could go a long way with small businesses like this. I knew they handled batteries but they have much more. Stop inand...
