Once on a family vacation in the middle of nowhere Kentucky, battery died in the old dodge maxivan. Jumped it and drove 40 miles to the nearest walmart. In the early 90's i got a free replacement. From then on, I only purchase wally's batteries. . . batteries are not what they used to be.
$550.00 Electric bill for one month; and its just me! I put in my three 5000 BTU AC units, set on 6 level, and whew!!!!I guess the meter went off the rails! I usually put 4 for a 3000 sq/ft house. I'm shutting 2 down and closing all the doors on extra rooms. It just gets damp here more than hot. Never had a bill that high.
Yep, same here...2003 Silverado. Best vehicle I ever had in over50 yrs. of driving. Almost everything is bone stock w/96K. All I do is change oil, service trans. & filters, fluids, batteries. I decided to look for something newer recently, bt the prices changed my mind quickly. The truck needs some refreshing, tune, ft. suspension & a couple of small leaks fixed. I figure to spend abt. $1500-2000 & drive t till I Die. It's ben said many times, but never more true than now....they don't make them like this anymore.
My '06 Mercury Grand Marquis has 387,000 miles is still going strong. Original engine and transmission. About a year ago I bought a like new one owner '07 Grand Marquis with 36,000 miles. I'm 65, so I should be set for life.
Same here, mines the Denali with the 6.0. Previous owner and me changed all the fluids regularly, so it still runs like a dream at 280k miles on its first engine and transmission. Its only just starting to have some minor slip, but that's nothing some Lucas can't fix for now.
Yeah but each chain has their own battery 'brand' so how can you even price match? Walmart has better prices but you won't price match Ever Start batteries
@@Argedis I price match EverStart here at my store. Same warranty and same cold cranking amps would be what we look at. If something’s off, I usually work with the price, but not price match h exactly. What good would a price match j guarantee be if every part in the store was proprietary branding? Maybe you just have ill-informed employees at the store you go to? 🤷♂️
@@hom2fu I don’t make the prices. The corporate bosses know that people will more than likely not check for better prices cause they need a battery now, just like the video said. The workers in the store have no control over the price hikes.
I have had awesome service with Interstate Econo batteries, I know the driver that delivers to its dealer network in AZ, the Econo are batteries that have been taken off the self,never used, but have a sell before date, they go back, get a Econo sticker, or Batteries that dealers take back, usually charging system issues, they get tested, if OK they get a Econo sticker, sell with a 1 year warranty, I've got 4 years out of a set on Duramax PU. Not bad for $50 each battery. And that's in the Arizona heat.
I work for AutoZone, and tell my customers the same thing....I tell them to go to Walmart if they can't really afford it . O'Reilly's and Advanced Auto are the same way.. expensive
I got my last battery at Autozone, $46. Walmart doesn't have a battery for my car. I did buy a lawn and garden battery, but it's exactly the same as the $200 "car" battery that everyone else sells. Edit: I did have to buy a $6 flag to pole adapter, that can be used indefinitely, but no big deal.
@@Ojb_1959 depends what one u want. I like interstate. Some more expensive than others but they all work the same generally. Walmart also has those offbrands that are cheap and Cheezy for a reason..
Regarding how they used to build things.......In the early 80s, a coworker of mine had a little Toyota pickup truck. Most of us there were motorheads. He wasn't. One day he was asking what to do, because his oil light came on. He bought the truck new. "Check it". He looked a little confused. "When was the last time you checked it?" Well, he had never checked it. "When was the last time you changed your oil?" Changed it??? Never. We were getting kinda stunned. "How many miles does it have on it?" About 70,000 WTF!?!?!?! Damn good engine. Never had an oil change or even been topped off. 70,000 miles to get the oil light to come on.
I got one for you. Girl brings in a 69 Camaro and says it is really loud and slow and only goes 35mph. We explained that the car has three more forward gears. Muncie 4 speed.
I have a similar story with a Toyota. The girlfriend I met the summer of 1991 had a Toyota Corolla GT-S, I think that was the model. I think it was a 1988 or 1989 model, hard to remember over 30 years later, and had over 50,000 miles on it already. The second or third month of dating I decided to check the oil in the car and it wasn’t touching the dipstick at all! Plus it was orange and burned looking. I opened the valve cover oil fill cap and the cams and everything in the top of the head had the orange film covering it! She had never checked or changed the oil, she didn’t know she was supposed to. The motor was still running strong and not making a single noise! I was going to do a flush out before changing the oil but didn’t have time for that. So I just changed the oil and filter using Castrol GTX. A couple thousand miles later I changed it again and just running the Castrol GTX cleaned all the orange gunk out of the motor. It looked brand new again. I kept changing it for her during the time we were together and I think she had it another 4-5 years after we were no longer together. We stayed in touch over the years and she said it was still running like new when she sold it.
You're the man Scotty you get my family started on Toyotas we have a Camry2011 and Tacoma 2017now love them both low miles well taken care of by older adults and always had synthetic oil ran in them and parked in doors keep up the good work
I love my '93, with the manual windows and the wing windows. I love that it doesn't have a remote kill switch or send any telemetry to some 3rd party. I love the 5-speed manual transmission. The only thing I don't like about it is it has the automatic hubs. I like the old, get out and turn the hubs method. Less wear and tear on the front end in 2wd.
@@torcik I kinda like mine too! At times I have had to use them to get parts for the mechanical ones when they all quit or had problems all at the same time. Just wish they would go a little slower than 40.9 mph!
Definitely some truth about older cars! I recently bought a 21 year old V8 4Runner and it runs as smooth as a new vehicle. Only 130k miles, many more left to go!
Yup, our battery was worn out earlier this year and even with a AAA membership the Costco battery outpriced the AAA battery by around 100 bucks. Ofc installation is included with AAA, but it’s just a few nuts and some heavy lifting.
WalMart and Autozone batteries are both made by the same company: Johnson Controls. However, the German company Bosch may have recently "acquired" (bought out) Johnson Controls. Periodically check your car battery terminals for corrosion, and brush off with a wire brush if corrosion appears. There are corrosion protection chemical sprays that can help ward off or delay the appearance of corrosion.
I go to a place where they rebuild them!! And I pay one third of what every one else wants for the same one!!! And I've had one in my car for five years now, and still no problems yet!!! 🤗👍
I thought Walmart had Exide as the OEM (this may have been some time ago). JC also makes Interstate, but that doesn't mean they're all exactly the same.
Use the felt washers under the terminal clamps, they are treated, they prevent corrosion. After you install or clean the battery coat the terminals in vaseline.
I bought a 98 Corolla for $800 bucks at 190k. I've had it for over a year with no problems, AND I DELIVER IN IT lol. Now has over 200k and keeps on keeping on lol
As long as you keep the oil changes fresh, it'll keep going. Maybe you'll need to change the starter if it starts giving trouble, but the engine itself will seize first before quitting on you!
@@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST it needs a valve cover gasket but I can't believe the durability and how fun it is to drive. My daily is a Nissan frontier. Driving this car is a blast though!
97 Corolla bought it at 190k now has 290k timing belt kit install when purchased only thing failing is toque converter in the transmission just started failing
I have a set of Duralast sockets and ratchets that was given to me as a gift in the early 90s. I have used the h=ll out of those things,especially the ratchet. I may or may not have used various things to extend the handle for some impressive leverage, and that set is still going strong.
I ALWAYS get my AC DELCO batteries from MENARDS, yes, MENARDS....Their between $84- $120 no matter what size, with a 3 year warranty...& They are just as good as INTERSTATE BATTERIES
I finally found a non auto subject that I agree with you on. Natural beauty, no theme parks or plastic stuff. I used to ask my kids for vacation, would you like to go to Disney world, or Greece. They chose Greece. Beautiful water, cliffs of Santorini, snow capped mountains on Crete.
autozoner here, they raise the prices of the batteries around 2-3x per year and they always push us to sell the 3 dollar washers for the terminals which is annoying, 2 yr warranty durlast battery used to be 170 when i started, now they are 200, i started in late 2021
I get my batteries at Costco 135 bucks. The last one lasted 4 years. I went with my uncle to get a battery for his car at Autozone and had to change it for hid twice in 3 months. He got a refund and I got him a Costco battery no more problems there Interstate batteries.
I got a Duralast Gold from Autozone 4.75 years ago (I have the receipt because they said it has a 5 year warranty). I paid $160 + core charge back in November 2019. Looking up the same battery, same sku, it's now $215 + core. RIP 😑
@@josealdecoa2417doesn’t matter. You are buying the cheapest you can find and that doesn’t mean it better. It just means that is all you can afford so you make due.
My 2016 Lexus 350 NX Fsport is better than my 2024 NX 350 F sport. Scotty you are so right. Biggest mistake I made was getting rid of my 2016. 80,000 miles
I bought a battery for my Mazda3 at BJs in Rhode Island. It's a small battery, too small for the electronics to be honest and it was like $170. I remember buying one for my Civic in the early 2000s for $60. Battery for my E90 is close to $300.
After 8 years the 12 volt battery went out in our Prius V. I checked the 3 main parts stores in my area. All wanted around $250 for aftermarket replacements. I guess I had assumed they would be less than the Toyota dealer. Wrong. The local dealer had it for around $190. The original went 8 years so there wasn't anything else to think about. It is an easy change out with the help of a You Tube video.
Amen to real stuff this country has so much to see and do without getting caught up in some man made nonsense that cost a fortune to do. Just like other vehicles make cars that you can enjoy to tinker with and fun drive. These young folks don’t have a clue as to what they’re missing. God bless my friend.
Costco has the best car battery prices. Interstate makes all the batteries for all these retailers. Compare them and you will notice they look exactly the same.
I work at Autozone, I would suggest to price match, yes! They price match and its a policy, as long as it is from a brick and mortar store, I always price match walmart
Take a small engine, put a turbo on it to bring the hp up to make up for the engine being small and underpowered is a recepie for failure. Pressured engines get oil leaks and wear out faster.
Everything gets worse, yet more expensive. I got a 2011 Honda Accord. I'm 51. It will likely be my last car. I'm gonna drive it another 10 years, and then I'm just gonna walk the earth like Caine in Kung Fu.
@user-mw2hn6zy9y Of course. Even If the engine goes, they can just replace it with another good engine and it would be cheaper than getting a new car which are only going up in price.
I bought an 84 month (7 years) Toyota battery from the Toyota dealership for about $160 for my Sequoia and needed a battery for my 1971 VW Karmann Ghia, so I bought one of those batteries for it as it was cheaper than the 4 year Advance Auto "Diehard" battery for $275. Same prices at AutoZone. Walmart batteries are cheaper than the discount auto parts stores but still only 4 years and can't beat the dealer price or years.. Always check with the dealership parts as sometimes they have OEM parts cheaper like CV-axels and rotors. All it takes is a phone call. Result for me was 3 more years and over $100 cheaper than the discount places.....a no brainier.
I’m still using an old optima battery. The sticker says 10/08. Not worried at all of getting stranded, I drive a manual Corolla and can easily turn it on even if the battery fails. If you know you know 😂
Optima batteries are awesome...as long as they are being constantly used. I've wasted so much money on them in the past 20 years due to having them on project cars that had sound systems. They sat too long unused without a tender and died. They don't come back once they're gone, ha-ha.
@@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST Totally agree I had a vehicle with a phantom drain/ parasitic draw and once those optima’s die that’s it they are trash lithium is not the way to go on the other hand tho my Odyssey batterie has change my life just saying
Watching your vids for a while, respect most of your opinions/tech advice, just to say, I'm one of the folks you mentioned, bought a 2016 chevy colorado for 25K$ around 2020, only 51k miles on it compared to the nearly 40k+$ they wanted for new and after seeing all the recalls on the ones made after 2016, glad I made a good choice, only problem I had, a year ago, had O2 sensor go bad, the one right under the engine cover, paid less than 100.00 for repair and I brought the part to be installed, the mechanic does have his own shop, pro, but, I used to help him when I worked at a parts shop, (starts with an O) and I also helped him in the shop working on the/my vehicle repair he is one of the old school techs, he charges the rates like other repair shops, he and I just get along well, it helps to know your mechanic. retired military, parts tech/runner.
If you come to my Autozone, we test your battery, starter, and alternator. If you need a battery, we put one in. If you need a headlight or taillight, we can usually put those into most vehicles. Our warranties don’t have a catch.. we will get you the replacement if the parts go bad. Autozone doesn’t pay me very well, but on the right day you’ll find advice & help which can save you getting ripped off by a mechanic.. mechanics are charging about $150 per hour lately! PLUS, we can save you from walking through Walmart. 👍
I just bought a Duralast battery for my 2013 Subaru Legacy because they were the only ones who had the battery size and output I needed on a Sunday because the battery in the car was dead. This happened 2 weeks ago. I managed to get the car there, borrowed a tool, installed the battery, and was on my way. Truly convenient and the car was working again within 30 minutes. Sure it was not cheap (about $150) but not having to wait until Monday to get a battery and not having the car running for 24 hours was much more convenient than saving $40.
I have a diesel tractor with a 15 year old Napa Legend battery. It's getting a little weak, but still starts when the weather is warm. Can't remember any battery lasting that long, especially in something that may not be started for several months.
Scotty, I was watching the Trump news conference yesterday and he was asked about EV cars and trucks and I couldn’t believe he stated the same facts as you did about how heavy they are and how much less cargo they can carry AND how much they’re going to cost to fix the roads they are going to destroy . Keep up the good work enlightening your audience on the facts
Scotty you are 100% right I went to Walmart and got a battery for 75 bucks while advance auto parts wanted me to pay 250 for their battery’s. Tell you what that Walmart battery is doing just fine !
When it comes to batteries, I bought my daughter an old Honda 14yrs ago and it came with an optima battery, the car went capoot, that optima went in my jeep liberty, after 10yrs of being in service with us and I have no idea how long before that it was purchased, I bought another optima battery, it's been in service for 4yrs now, my expedition went through 2 lead cell batteries in 4yrs, so now I just went full optima batteries in all my cars, they don't cost that much more than a regular battery, but you get wayyyy mor life out of them than regular batteries..
Exactly, find out who makes the oem parts and get your part directly from the company. Most people do not realize dealerships are just high priced parts stores.
My last battery before my current one was a autozonre Duralast Gold (the most expensive one) and it only lasted three years. For my current battery, I bought a silver version battery from Advance auto parts, and it's lasted 4 years and is still going so far.
Looking at all your Triumph signs in your background, I am reminded of the Triumph Trident, also a 3 cylinder engine. Those motorcycles leaked oil like a sieve.
My first car at the age of 21 was a KIA Rondo EX 2.7 V6. I can guarantee many have not heard of this model, however this car is my baby. Financed at a dealership sitting at 20-25k miles, and now in 2024 she is at 103k. I may have driven her rough so I'm praying in the next week I get a diagnostic on the transmission. Either way if she needs a new transmission I'm getting one just because its an 08, low mileage, and a beast on the highways.
Very true I worked that AZ every time winter or summer came price when up I also have a old 2003 F150 I got for $100.00 all I've done is battery & brakes in last 4 years no leaks or problem
If you have a Toyota/Lexus vehicle you should get replacement batteries at the dealership parts counter. They charge less than anywhere else and the batteries last longer than any I have owned in 50 years. I have one that is still working after 8 years.
I get the two batteries for my 98 dodge cummins diesel at Walmart, they are made be Johnson Controls, The last pair lasted for Seven years and I am on the Fifth year on the current set.
Don’t buy parts from AutoZone. They can’t even make brake pads right. I put a set on my mom’s car and about 2 days later she called and said her brakes were grinding. The pad completely fell off the backing plate!!! I removed every part I had ever put on my car from AutoZone and took them back, went to Napa
Akebono brake pads are the only one people should really use. I'm also trying to find a place that sells as good if not better batteries than Autozone for a cheaper price. $200 for a car battery is just ridiculous.
Be careful! Last May I went through 3 fuel pumps from NAPA & none fit or worked! Finally got one from O`Reilly`s that worked & that was from Korea not China.
I have personally never seen the adhesive fail and allow the pad to separate from the backing plate. Had a caliper lock up on my sister’s car and get red hot and it still didn’t fail. Weird to see a qc issue like that, but I can definitely see it happening.
That’s nothing I brought a tie rod from autozone years ago and the stupid thing broke on me while I was going on the highway, luckily the speed limit was only 55 and I was able to stop the vehicle safely when it broke, the faulty part could have gotten me killed in a wreck,
When I got my first car for $400 in 1980, it was a true piece of garbage and I was broke. I did all the maintenance and repairs myself and the local auto parts store was invaluable for their advice. Now, the places are full of workers who hardly know where you put the gas in.
I don’t go to my local Auto Zone often. I did go today to buy some clear coat. They are always helpful and friendly. They also will take old batteries and give you credit for the core. Lastly, they have a veterans discount.
I got an Interstate battery and it went dead within the warranty period and they replaced it at no charge. They were outstanding to deal with and are great batteries.
Had a 2007 Tacoma 2WD base manual 5 speed 2.7 4 cyl. at 206000 miles it got 25-26 mpg and burned no oil. Would still be driving it forever but for that wreck. Now I have a first gen 06 Tundra with the V6 Awesome trucks
True about Duralast battery costs, good thing is Walmart is just as convenient and you definitely save a lot. Autozone wanted $260 for my step daughter's Malibu recently and Walmart had it for $180; that's exactly 30% less. And it had a 4-yr warranty where Autozone only had a 3-year.
Scotty please do a full report on Volkswagen's EPC problem. There should have been a recall (or a class action), it's something that exists in every single model of all of their vehicles. A nightmare... it's a nightmare
I used to Work at Autozone, til they screwed me over. 100% agree with you, they wanted me to be a manager but they didn't tell me, they threw hints instead of just saying they wanted me to be a manager.
Hi Scotty, I think you are awesome, your explanation of the three cylinder the engine is right on ,Even the four cylinder engines vibrate, because you actually need a six-cylinder engine to have power overlap . To have a super smooth operating engine. maybe you can explain to your public about how power overlap works.
My wife wants another NEW 1996 Geo Metro . Our other one lasted 300k and 44mpg . Just wore out , everthing but engine, used no oil always used castrol and never added between chngs
The Duralast ignition switch for chevy trucks is complete junk. Lifetime warranty, but who wants to keep replacing it. 3rd one was DOA. Had to go with NOS Delco for my truck.
I gave up on Walmart batteries. Seemed I was always going back to the store for a partial warranty replacement. Dead cell issues. Bought a Napa sealed battery and it lasted 9 years. Just got the same one again recently and only cost around $150 all in. Hopefully they haven't gone downhill as well. Still driving my 06 Vibe with 254k on it and with that Toyota engine it's going strong. But like you were saying I don't know what I would buy today when the time comes. Probably something older.
I currently drive a 2006 Chevy Express 2500 cargo van. Paid $4k for it with 138k miles on it in 2019. It currently has 180k miles. I drove it and towed a loaded u-haul trailer across the US (I-40 San Diego to Charlotte) in 2021 with zero issues. Other than having an upgraded transmission cooler installed, the van had only received routine maintenance and worn-out parts replacement (engine and gearbox fluid changes, transmission service, spark plugs and wires, battery, starter, tires, shocks, brakes, front hub bearing assemblies, and steering system components). Parts are relatively inexpensive and the thing is pretty easy to work on (I have experience in the industry as a mechanic). The check engine light has only come on once, and it was an EVAP code that required a new gas cap to resolve. 😂
I can tell you from recent experience that older cars have less problems. Recently was given a 2008 Buick Lucerne. I've already had a bunch of issues in a few months. Put in over 2k in repairs. And have persistent issues even now that I have to schedule to get looked at AGAIN. Before that I had a 2004 Honda Accord. Barely ever had issues with it. Just minor stuff occasionally. I think besides regular maintenance I probably put in somewhere between 500-1k in repairs over 11 years. And before that I had a 96 civic that was probably about the same but I only had that for 5 years but was in the family since brand new. Luckily like I said the Buick was given to me for free from a neighbor that passed away but it's given me WAY more issues in the few months I've had it than the prior two cars COMBINED did over a total of around 17 years. Its noce having all the fancy new tech thats offered in the buick (it was probably fancy in 2008) but it seems to just cause more issues.
I like the warranty on Duralast products. I got my alternator replaced after 5 years, for free!!!. Batteries are pro- rated but still good warranty. I don't know how Walmart warrantys work
That’s happening in every single autoparts, diy can buy a battery over $200 dollars while a commercial account buy for aprox..$70 dollars, but commercial accounts selling for autoparts stores ( they make money from selling parts plus labors), so, buy your own parts and let the mechanic shop to installed..
@Scotty, We're looking for a 1st car for our teen. In the current used car market, we could definitely use your expertise here. They wanted an electric car but I told them even if they were cheaper I refuse to buy 1. For me it's all about safety. Yeah, charging stations are going up all over the place, but they are always off to the side or behind stores. That just makes you a sitting duck the entire time the car is charging. 2nd is the fires. These batteries burn hotter & need a special extinguisher to put them out. Not every rural fire dept even has one. AND they can reignite multiple times. Sometimes days later. Our homeowners insurance doesn't want them parked in an attached garage & the charging station has to be further away from our house than our driveway is long.
Took a bad battery to autozone and sure enough a basic battery $210. The employee said "if you have a Costco membership get it there". Agm at costco is $169.
My experience with duralast batteries... and i have one in all my cars. They keep going out a month before the 3yr replacement expires. I don't drive alot so the damage is likely occured from sitting. But i promise. I haven't paid for the last 2 duralast batteries ive replaced.
I have a 2013 Dodge Durango SSV... Love this thing. After about 11 years i needed a new belt because it started to screech at an unbearable volume. Got one from AutoZone, and it still screeched. An old man told me to buy it from the manufacturer, and it went away... Same with my blower motor: got it from AutoZone, and it was louder than the problem i was trying to fix 😭 The more Scotty speaks, the more I'm inclined to keep fixing it rather than get a new car since it'll be the same issues just more expensive.
Your right about the batteries at Autozone Scotty but you forgot to mention one detail, they will install it for you. I guess that's why they are pricier, but it sure is convenient (no appointment necessary) you save a trip to a shop to have it installed.
Scotty brother I have a 2010 subaru forester 2.5L manual and it will not stop cv joint knocking. Been changed multiple times with different manufactured parts and it still "knocks and clunks" anytime the steering wheel is turned. Most often/I mean every time while making a left turn. loss.
