The Overall customer service experience was very good and the technician was excellent and highly qualified. However, the actual coordination of my appointment was handled very poorly.
I initially booked an appointment for Thursday 7/28 during the hours of 4 pm-6 pm PDT. The technican was not able to show up, which would normally be fine except I was never notified by 1-800 Battery and their offices were closed when I called to confirm. Then I followed up with 1-800 Battery on Friday 7/29 to coordinate another appointment. I was told that a technician would be able to arrive on Saturday 8/1 between the hours of 8 am - 10 am PDT, I had also told the person on the phone that I specifically needed it done in the morning as I had lunch I had to get to. When Saturday came around the technician did not show up and I once again did not receive a notification from 1-800-Battery so I had to call again and schedule an appointment for Monday at 10:00am. I believe 1-800-Battery needs to learn how to coordinate with their technicians better and not offer times they will not be able to commit to, when I pointed this out to them I was told I was in an area that was "out of the way" and they had trouble getting coordinating with a technician in my area. While I can empathize the first appointment was listed as open in the 1-800-Battery calendar and I provided my location so there was no ambiguity there. Additionally, after my first appointment was missed I would expect my next one to be treated a little bit better but the second one was also missed. I would also recommend that 1-800-Battery be better about notifying customers when Appointments will be missed as well as have staff available during the hours when Technicians are active so that I a client needs to call in regarding a missed appointment a new one can be coordinated immediately rather than having to wait until the next day.
I will say that on Monday the service was handled very well I received a text notification when my technician was heading towards me and when he arrived. Additionally, the Technician that did deliver my battery and installed it was excellent and very professional.
