Recently I discovered a great shop on South Lamar. I was looking for a replacement watch battery. I searched online to find a shop that could replace the battery on my watch. I saw several reviews on the Batteries Plus location in Austin Texas on South Lamar. Every reviewer had great things to say about this shop. Fast service pleasant and knowledgeable employees, convenient location, reasonable prices, excellent customer service, etc.

So I gave them a try and I am happy to report it was all true! I stopped into the store and was greeted by Andy within seconds of walking in. Andy took my watch and was installing the replacement battery within two minutes of me walking in the door. He handed it back to me and told me it would be $8.50. I was impressed that I was in and out of the store, problem solved in less than ten minutes! This place is amazing and it is because of the great staff!

This is great. I've had a hard time getting new batteries for my watches since WalMart stopped doing it for me. They now only replace batteries in watches that were purchased from WalMart (mine weren't). The last time I needed a battery, I had to open the watch myself; take the battery to WalMart and get the replacement, and install it myself. And to make matters worse, the 2 closest jewelry stores have closed within the last year too =(

Dear Lisa,

They have the fancy tool to get the glass correctly positioned and sealed into place which can be tricky. I avoid WalMart, as they have thrown Sam Walton's business model (made in America by Americans and sold for a fair price) out the window in the name of bigger profit margins.

 

Dear Fred,

Thanks for stopping by. I am all about paying it forward. It works! I like your profile photo, the ocean is gorgeous!

;)
