I upgraded their rating to three stars after AAA sent them again for another battery issue yesterday (11-21-20). The guy yesterday was super friendly (Josh), explained things well, and gave me some seemingly good advice.
My original post:
I give them two stars for calling to tell me their arrival time and being friendly. The rest is just sad.
Bought a battery from them in March for the same car/same reason; bad battery. They replaced it and said the old one was the wrong amperage/voltage or whatever and sold me the one that lasted from mid March until two days ago. Guy came out to jump it and said the starter was bad. But he was able to jump start it. Not being quick witted about it, I just nodded and thanked him for the help. Thought about it later and realized if the starter was bad he couldn't have jump started it. Checked on Google and confirmed that. So either he lied or is incompetent.
Drove it to my usual repair place and paid for a new battery. Could've turned it in to AAA for a replacement since it was under warranty, but the hassle and not trusting them led me to decide to just call it lesson learned: In emergency I'll use AAA for towing and jump starting, but never buy a battery from them again, nor trust what they tell me is wrong...
