Not cheap, like my Ray-O-Vac finds, but WTH.
There are two reasons I use NAPA batteries.. One is I like the black case. They don't stick out like a sore thumb in the engine compartment of my customers stock cars. Second, and most important: My NAPA store is always there standing behind me when I have any issue of any kind no matter what. They never leave me twisting in the wind when a part fails, period. Just had a NAPA Legend battery fail at 35 months, It's a 72 month battery, 2 year free replacement. They gave me a new one no charge. The pro-rate would only have bought half a battery. That's why I am fine with paying $10-15 more up front for their parts. Are they the best? I doubt it, but the service makes up the difference.
