Best car battery store in Lakewood, Colorado (CO) 2024

Scott was amazing! He found what I needed in seconds and helped me install my windshield wipers in the snow and showed me how to do it for next time! Very friendly and great customer service! ~Macy

It didn't take as long as I'd expected, and the mechanics were very friendly, and thorough. I enjoyed chatting with them, and I was very happy with the work. The battery was a lost less expensive there too. :) ~Aphrodite

I have been to Complete Auto Repair a few times in the last year for an oil change, to repair my car’s a/c, and brake pads. The turnaround time and customer service has always been great, but I’ve been surprised each time by the price of each service. For example, when my a/c stopped blowing cool air, I brought it to them to see if something was wrong or if the freon just needed to be replenished. They said I should replace my entire a/c system for nearly $3,000 because there was “shrapnel” throughout the system which could keep the system from working effectively. I asked them to just do the freon, and the a/c has been working fine since. This past week my car was having trouble starting, so I brought it to them and they said that the starter was bad and the “battery harness” needed to be replaced because it was corroded, and quoted me $970 for the parts and labor. I asked if I could just get the starter replaced, and they said that wouldn’t be possible. I called another mechanic I trust and he couldn’t understand why it would possibly cost that much. I called another mechanic down the road and they said they could do the same work for $450. I went and got my car from Complete Auto Repair, cleaned the cables and battery terminals, and replaced the starter myself for $200. They ended up charging me $70 for the diagnostic, which seemed highly overpriced. For example, to rule out if it was the battery, I went to Batteries Plus, and a guy there used a diagnostic tool on the battery and alternator to help me narrow it down to the starter. It took about 5 minutes, and he did it for free. Long story short, I won’t be back to Complete Auto Repair. The work they’ve done on my car has been fine for the most part (a jitter I was getting around 65-70 mph got worse after I took my car in to get the brake pads replaced, and they said they were unable to replicate the jitter in a test drive), and it seems like they’ll always try to get you to pay for more than is necessary. They’ve always been friendly and I appreciate that, but I feel like I can’t trust their pricing or assessment of what is actually necessary to fix a problem anymore. ~Erickson

Joe here was very nice and helpful. Immediately asked if I needed help finding the correct size of wiper blades, helped me install them, and replaced the battery in my fob. He didn't even say anything about how bad my old wiper blades were! ~McKenna
