I needed to replace my battery and they were able to help me immediately upon pulling into the parking lot. I dont believe I was there more than 15 minutes wait. They also saved me $$ compared to other places that I looked online.I would recommend UBS to anyone. Ill be back. Thank you!

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. Here are the pros and cons.Pros:1. Friendly! They greet you fast and with curiosity. Even if your phone is dying, they give you THEIR OWN CHARGER 🔌! ☺️ Now THAT is service!2. Pricing! Alternator replacement-Kia Dealerships: 2 Days/ $702 dollarsHere: 2 Hours/ $250 dollarsHOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!? 😱3. Fast! They really take your time into consideration. They gave me a worst estimate, “5 hours” and got it done in LESS THAN 2!4. Cleanliness. This place is really clean. Even the Bathroom does NOT feel like it belongs to a couple of mechanics.Cons (If I offered one, it’s very small)1. Simple waiting area. (I don’t think they expect people to stay for too long. 😉) They do have chairs, plugs, Offer Their OWN chargers! They don’t have a T.V, but bring your own devices.They make sure you feel comfortable.Coming again. Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The young man who helped me was very knowledgeable. He brought a cart to my car, unloaded my old batteries to recycle and carried the new battery back to my car. All of the employees wore masks and kept a distance. EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!

This place is the best! After shopping around for a new battery, United Battery Systems Inc. was amazing from beginning to end. From the first phone call, to the actual replacement (which took less than 15 minutes) Sean was upbeat, informative and professional. In an age where customer service is sometimes the only differentiator between businesses that sell the same product, its clear that Sean and United Batter Systems value their customers. I highly recommend them!

A friend of mines nephews friend jumped my car & told me the things wrong with my car & referred me to UBSI.I went down, I was approached by a worker immediately. He looked at my battery & said I definitely need a new one & referred a no maintenance battery. He told me the price. I could not exchange them then.When I returned the battery was dead so I brought it in, purchased a holding bar & the cost came out to be the cost I was told before. Very nice staff.

Review №32

Bought a battery(duracell) for my acura with a 3 year replacement, 6 year pro rated warranty in 2015. Battery failed in 2017. A replacement was supplied at that time. I started having problems again in mid 2020 and contacted them again, I was 5 years in to my 6 year warranty and the battery was again going dead every 2 days, same as before. I was told that those batteries are no longer available and that they were of poor quality by whoever was answering the phones at their Longview location. I had already charged the battery for 24 hrs and load tested it, it failed to start the car @9.7 volts after the load of 200 amps for 20 seconds, a typical load test with my vat 40 load tester. I have been a professional mechanic for 35 years, have a degree in diesel technology and have an incredible amount of electrical experience. I took the car in and had their guy check it out. It was obvious that the guy was not very experienced, he offered me a new battery at full price with no pro rate for the remaining warranty period. Not much of a warranty then is it? I will never step foot in that place again. Went to walmart and brought a three year free replacement battery with 72 months pro rated warranty for 30$ less. A week later I had not started that car, went out and started the car and it fired up instantly. Hmm, must have been a bad battery, HUH?Dont waste your time at this battery chop shop!

These guys are awesome. I own a delivery service with several trucks and when I need a battery, alternator or starter, I take it straight to United. Outside of the dealership, its the only other place I trust with my trucks. They stand by their products and services.

Review №37

Coming from a Christians prospective, Mr. Jason and Mr. Micheal and their associates working with them are very professional in their auto electric business.they are very compassionate and carry the fruits of Godly spirit pinned on them, their versatillities in social interactions helps in helping people from low estates to dignitaries. I can see why they have been the best in auto electric on Columbia Blvd in Portland, Oregon for as long as they have and I hope they have family that continues as they have for Father with the blessings of our Creator God. Ive been a customer of United battery for over 20yrs and theyve always been patient and consistent.

Review №43

This is a good place to take your car for Batteries, starters, alternators, and some other issues. I would recommend United battery for their services, and the ownership there has always been family, the original owner passed away in 95, but his sons now own the business, and have completely upgraded the place, so that it is basically top-notch. They normally treat you with respect, and if they make a mistake, they try to make it right with you. Again, I would recommend you check out United battery for any of your cars electrical issues that they can service, before you go elsewhere. Their prices are fair, and their warranty is excellent as well for parts and labor.

This place was great. My starter died and I was nearby their location on a Saturday. I rolled it up into the garage and they gave me a better price on a new starter part than the big name down the street did on a refurbed one. They were done very fast and the car has been running great for about a month since.

Review №48

These guys are fantastic! We brought a motorcycle battery in get a new one and they said let us test it first. Battery fine, no charge. Figured then it was the starter, went to buy a new one, they said they could rebuild this one. Got into it and discovered it was fine. The mechanics there really know their stuff. Earned my business for sure.

Brandon was great! We bought a battery for our car that was dead by the roadside and wouldnt stay running when jumped. He loaned us a couple tools so we could install it. Once we got it to the shop, they found that the previous mechanic (not with United Battery) hadnt connected the new alternator to the regulator, so the old battery was super dead. Im so happy and impressed with the service here.

Bought a battery and alternator from here less than 1000 miles ago. Both were tested today and found that they both are bad and need replaced. Of course they are out of warranty. Counter person was barely helpful, not friendly and did a lot of shoulder shrugging. I will not do business here again and suggest you do not either. If I could do zero stars I would.

Excellent service, they tested my Alternator (😩bad news) then checked to see if they had one in stock (92 ford cutaway bus)( 😊 good news) half the price I thought I would have to pay and I took it home with me (didnt have to order or wait for rebuild)Couldnt ask for a better business to deal with.

These guys have been great, as a small time used car dealer, on a budget, United Battery has saved me hundreds of dollars when I have to replace batteries ... and tho I hesitate to tell people about the re-conditioned batteries for sale at half the cost of a reg. battery, (Im selfish I want them for myself) ... I will ...The one thing that United Batteries has taught me is that ..RIGHT BATTERY ... RIGHT CAR ...and these guys have the right batteries for your car and if they dont they will tell you .......

If i could give a zero i would. The costumer service was awesome but the owner wont take responsibility for damages they cause. He gave me the run around so i gave up but i want people to know that they are not trust worthy. If you dont mind having a dent put into your car and them not fixing it then by all means go there. i will never go back to them.

Review №71

Be careful these guys are LIERS And Thieves had some work done here my battery was stole out my back seat, which one of the owners made right by replacing the stolen battery only to come find out that they most likely gave me a rebuilt or even just cleaned my old Alternator and put it back in my vehicle, when i went back to have them look at the alternator they told me that fluid had leaked in to it and that voided the warranty, They had no paper work for my car they said there computer doesnt keep record i was completely polite and respectful, Waiting for Police so i can also make a complaint. BE Cautious.If i could give a zero i would

I was about to buy batteries for my RV at a Napa Auto Parts up the street, and someone in line told me to try United first. I got way better batteries for my camper than the ones at Napa - I didnt even know better batteries were an option - for a lot less, and they did a free electrical inspection. They were just really really nice, ultra professional, and honest :) Plus the place reeks of cookies from the cookie factory across the street.
