I've been going there for batteries for over a decade. They have New or Used. They beat any price. Very caring and friendly. You don't even have to get out of your car! They enjoy what they do and it shows time and time again. I recommend this place over any other business you can name. Never had a single issue with a battery purchased from them and they will test your current battery, alternator etc as a courtesy. I will continue to do business with them for as long as their door is open.

My car battery started to die while I was caught out in the rain and I couldn t find help where I was. Luckily, I came across Kelleher Battery on Google. He closed @ 12:00 I called him and asked if he could please help me. I was able to make it to him by 11:37 and he had me fixed and up and running in no time. Huge thank you for his wonderful fast service! Will highly recommend to friends and family!

Battery died the night before and I called Kelleher the following morning. Chris was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to replace my battery later that day. I live nearby and my car was parked at the top of my driveway, so Chris came up and offered to change the battery right at my house. Very grateful and impressed by this place. 10/10 would recommend!

Great family mom and pop shop. Took the time to check my car and run a full diagnostic on the whole engine and battery. Answered all questions my father and I had for him and took the time to educate us on the car I had. Recommended other shops in the area for problems I had with my car keys. Well rounded place. I will always do business with them. Great service, kind people, and a local area shop. 10 out of 10.

Had some issues with my car starting. I stopped by Kelleher Battery, and before I could even get out of my car, I was met by someone eager to help with the brightest smile.I asked if it could be my alternator or my battery. They tested both. Found out my battery was shot. They had it switched out within minutes.As a younger female, I m always worried going to a new place to have my car looked at. I feel like people can up-charge me and rob me blind. I typically call my brother who is out of state before I buy or do anything. I NEVER felt like that here. I felt so comfortable with their advice, like it was coming from my own family members.I will forever recommend Kelleher Battery to anyone.

Brought my battery in as my car wouldn't start. I didn't get paid until the next day and I was allowed to walk away with a working battery so I could get to work the next day. So long as I came back and paid of course.Always wonderful, polite service!

I brought my car in for a battery replacement. Service was excellent!!! They are professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. I pulled my car in, they wheeled over what I guess can be called the battery "crash cart" and got right to work like a surgeon in the operating room! Unfortunately for them, my battery was old and had lots of corrosion that spread. After wrestling with the bolts, my new battery was installed after they cleaned up all the corrosion. Took about 20 minutes and I only stepped out of my car once to get a look at that corrosive mess. If you ever need a battery go directly to Kellehers. Shop local! The price is great and the service is second to none. Thank you!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I was having issues with my car battery, and the service here was beyond exceptional. The one worker was a Marywood grad and was very happy to help out a current Marywood student. If I had to recommend a place for anyone having battery trouble, this is the place to go!

He sold me a bad battery and then when I took it back he insisted I bring the vehicle, I guess he didn't believe me. His son was very helpful he replaced and apologized for selling a bad battery. The older man ( his father) was ignorant as the day is long. I'll never go there again.

Kelleher Battery always provides us with excellent service. Chris Kelleher checked out our Jeep's battery after problems we had starting the car. He determined that we did not actually need a new battery but cleaned the cables and we were good to go. He is honest and very helpful. I highly recommend this business.

This is the best place to go to in the area. They are very kind and knowledgeable. Kelleher went above and beyond, not just selling a new battery, but ensuring my alternator was sending out enough power. They determined I needed my alternator belt tightened, which was another problem I was having, then also adjusted another accessory belt that was giving my car an issue! Won t ever go anywhere else!

I needed a battery fast at 4:30pm, and Kelleher waited for me and installed a fresh battery right before close. Excellent service, friendly, and super affordable. I'll be back and will be recommending this place to anyone I know in need of car battery services.

Super professional!! After I could not start my car, I jumped started it and drove to Kelleher s batteries ( my husband had just gotten a new battery there and really liked the super efficient service.) After testing the battery, the owner told me that my battery was still good! He could have easily sold me a battery that I did not need , instead he was very honest!

Was headed out of town on vacation, and battery died on us.. ugh!! Mr. Kelleher got us taken care of super fast & was beyond friendly (even checked the oil, other fluids, and tires, knowing that we were driving out of state). Great experience. 10 outta 10; would recommend!

My husband's friend recommended Kelleher Battery when my car battery died one night. Upon calling Kelleher's, the owner, Chris, was extremely friendly and helpful telling me not to worry and that he'd help me out. Even with AAA, a new battery would've cost me nearly $200! Chris was only going to charge me $50-100 (and it would be less if I paid cash). When I got there, he took a look at my car battery, ran a few tests, and explained everything clearly to me. He told me my battery already regenerated itself and that I didn't need to buy a new one. I couldn't believe how honest and straightforward he was all the information. He never tried to swindle me (like so many other places), and he didn't even charge me to look at and test the battery. I could not recommend a better place to take your vehicle to get serviced. Chris truly cares about his customers and told me it's his priority to make lifelong customers. He will definitely get any more of my business from here on out! Thank you Chris Kelleher!

A friend of mine recommended kelleher battery instead of going to the "big box" auto parts stores for my older GMC Yukon. I'm glad I did! Chris sold me a great battery at a great price! Customer service was exceptional! I ended up just shooting the breeze with him for probably 15 minutes just talking shop like most car guys do! Super nice guy! Highly recommend. I'll send my friends and family there for their battery needs anytime!

Went for a battery and met Chris the owner. I think. Was polite and worked quickly while chatting with you. I was there for ten minutes start to finish. We had some trouble with corrosion and a terminal, took care of that as well. Great price, and an enjoyable experience. I will definitely be back for car battery needs going forward.
