Walmart Core Trade In

[Chris186]

For those of you who use the ever starts from Walmart, what do you do with your core? Do you bring it to the returns desk before you get the new battery, or do you throw the old battery on your cart and give it to the cashier?

drive around to the auto entrance and park by the oil change doors. walk in, get a cart and go get your old battery from the car.pay for the new battery at the auto desk and drop the core off at the same time.

do you have an interstate battery store local? they pay $30 for 27and 29's i believe

My local walmart does not have an auto entrance, im lucky they have batteries. I do have an interstate store, but they are way to expensive, and last time I had them they crapped out after 2 years.

I do exactly what iabass8 described.  If your Walmart doesn't have an auto service entrance (or an auto service department), you might want to ask an employee in the automotive parts area how they handle the core returns.

Put the old one in the cart, go get a new one, then go to Customer Service. They will do the core exchange there for you.

I do whatever is more convenient for me.  The core charge is usually like $10.  I usually swap the battery in the parking lot, so I pay the core charge then do the swap.  I think you can actually get more scrapping the core, but I don't care to.  Not all the Walmarts by me have automotive service, but they all have batteries.  Last time I went to Tractor Supply, because I wanted to get an Exide rather than Everstart.  People like to say that Walmart stuff is sub-par, but I don't know if it's true.

X3.......but I have tossed them in a basket out in the parking lot and just pushed them to automotive.

Just take them to the automotive section and exchange them. They have cameras on the door if proof was ever needed
