Walmart Tech Services

Jan 2023

After waiting for 10-15 minutes waiting for someone to help me select the battery I needed for my car, someone finally came out of the garage. I said I needed help selecting my battery. This was about 4PM on a Sunday She looked in her book and told me which one I needed. I brought the battery over to her at the register and told her that the terminals on my current battery have different style terminals. I told her this 3 times and finally said she would look at the one in my car. She took one look and said "ya that's an H5". I went in and purchased the battery. She started walking away and I asked when the earliest was that they could get me in for the instillation. She said flatly "Tomorrow" and started walking away from me again. I asked specifically if I needed to make an appointment or was this going to be a walk in. She said that they don't do appointments for batteries. That I just show up with the battery and they would put it in. I work 9-5 so my wife took my car in to have the battery installed. My wife took the car there at about 2PM and was told after waiting for some time to anyone to show up that they have 4 cars in the shop. That they weren't going to be doing any more today. According to this shop, they don't close until 6PM. They told my wife that I or my wife needs to bring in my car at 7AM the next day or it can't be done. My wife asked what if we can't bring in the car that early. The person my wife was speaking to just shrugged and walked off. She waited there for over 20 minutes before she left and not one employee acknowledged her existence. I had to drive to the next Walmart which is not that close to get this battery installed. My old battery had failed 2-3 times already before I bought this battery. I needed this battery installed that day!
