Are Costco Car Batteries Actually A Good Deal And What Is The Warranty?
It's not hard to fathom why Costco has become the world's third-largest retailer. It's low-cost, direct-sourcing price strategy not only applies to everyday items like groceries, mouth-watering rotisserie chicken, and whole, frozen animals like goats and pigs, but it managed to tug the heartstrings of car enthusiasts with its low-priced tire selection (that come with lifetime maintenance services, making them a fantastic deal for Costco members), new vehicles with pre-negotiated prices, and car batteries. No, Costco doesn't have or sell Costco-branded batteries -- at least not yet -- but it carries an array of Interstate batteries for cars, trucks, golf carts, and marine batteries for boats. We have to admit that the Interstate brand didn't make it to Consumer Reports' list of the best car batteries this 2025, but none of those come close to Costco car batteries in the savings arena. For instance, a sealed lead-acid or maintenance-free Interstate battery at Costco, specifically for a 2018 Toyota Camry 2.5L gas model, starts at $125. Meanwhile, O'Reilly Auto Parts is peddling a similar flooded lead-acid battery at $210 for the same car, making Costco's Interstate selection a smashing good bargain. What's more, Costco batteries carry a three-year/36-month warranty, which is the same warranty that O'Reilly offers. Do the math, and you'll end up paying less money at Costco for a car battery that has the same warranty as a more expensive one. Read more: How Much Do Car Salespeople Make? The Pay Structure Explained Why Are Car Batteries Cheaper At Costco? The reason why almost everything is cheaper at Costco is the company's warehouse-type business model and has nothing to do with sorcery or mind control. The annual membership fees (ranging from $65 to $135), direct sourcing strategy, and limited selections are just a few reasons why Costco manages to keep prices reasonable for consumers. Moreover, Costco purchases more items from fewer sources, pays lower bulk prices to suppliers, and passes some of the savings on to customers who enter their vast warehouse-style stores across the country. Fortunately, it includes consumable vehicle items like tires and batteries. And in case you haven't noticed, tire and battery prices have gone through the roof, and what Gen X-ers used to pay chump change for an oil change now costs significantly more, not including the outrageous prices for parts and accessories. The end of summer is one of the best times to inspect or change your car batteries, because you don't ever want to deal with a dying car battery in the dead of winter. Either way, we have a handy guide on how to know if your existing car battery is on its final leg or needs a jump-start, and watch out for signs of slow cranking, dimming headlights, or a symphony of warning lights turning on sporadically in the instrument cluster, which are telltale signs of a weak or dying battery. Okay, We Know Costco Car Batteries Are Cheaper, But What's The Catch? It all sounds like roses and honey, but as always, there's a catch: limited selection. Costco offers discounted prices by purchasing items in bulk from fewer vendors. The downside to this is fewer varieties of products to choose from. If variety is your cup of tea, shopping at Walmart, Target, or Amazon is a better bet. As for car batteries, Costco only carries the Interstate brand, which might be an issue for consumers who prefer or are privy to a different brand. As an example, a quick search at O'Reilly's for a 2018 Camry battery unleashed six types of batteries from three brands: Super Start, Optima, and Odyssey. However, prices range from $109 to $361, so the choice is up to you. For newer cars that require more potent yet costlier absorbent glass mat (AGM) batteries, Costco has those, too, and prices are also lower compared to other stores and brands. Want more like this?

Costco brings back discontinued member favorite
There's a reason shopping at Costco is often compared to going on a treasure hunt. As you roam the aisles of those massive stores, you're never quite sure what you're going to find. You may spot a new bakery item that screams "delicious," or a new type of beverage you find refreshing. Or, you may be tempted to buy something totally random, whether it's an inflatable backyard hot tub, a new massage chair for your living room, or a fun-looking kitchen tool you don't really need, but kind of just want. Related: Costco makes bold move into area Target and Kohl's own Costco purposely makes a point to keep its inventory fresh and interesting because it wants members to be excited to shop at its stores. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Let's face it - going to Costco for milk, eggs, and toilet paper isn't exciting. It's fun to save money on items like those, but where's the thrill? By adding new products all the time, Costco turns an otherwise boring experience into an enjoyable one. Image source: Costco While Costco definitely makes an effort to keep its inventory exciting, there's a major downside. To make room for new products on the shelves, Costco has to pull existing items from its lineup. And sometimes, that means having to say goodbye to a product you love and buy on a regular basis. Related: Costco adds strict new policy for free samples Last year, Costco did away with its famous giant bakery muffins. Granted, it replaced them with a smaller version in different flavors. But to this day, many members still miss the original muffins in their glorious oversized form. Meanwhile, earlier this year, Costco made the decision to stop offering its Kirkland Signature soy milk. Many members were devastated to see that soy milk disappear, especially since it was an affordable way to stock up on a dairy alternative. Another product Costco pulled from its lineup earlier this year was its Sweet Heat snack mix. It featured a delicious blend of spiced cashews, barbecue almonds, honey roasted sesame sticks, glazed pecans, and corn nuggets. When you see a product called "Sweet Heat," you may be inclined to question the "heat" aspect initially. But this amazing creation from Costco delivered on its name. It was truly the perfect blend of sweetness with just enough heat to make you take it slow as you worked your way through the bag. Related: Costco has another rule members may not know Costco fans were disappointed to see the Sweet Heat snack mix disappear. Some even took to Reddit to call it out as their favorite Costco snack ever. If you were bummed beyond belief to see Sweet Heat go away, here's some good news. Sweet Heat has recently been spotted on Costco's shelves again. However, this doesn't mean you're guaranteed to find it. If you go to you'll see that Sweet Heat is out of stock for delivery, which means that its reintroduction may be limited to certain stores or regions. More Retail: Walmart CEO sounds alarm on a big problem for customersTarget makes a change that might scare Walmart, CostcoTop investor takes firm stance on troubled retail brandWalmart and Costco making major change affecting all customers That said, there was a time when Sweet Heat was unavailable on period - meaning you couldn't even be directed to buy it at a store. So it may be that Costco is bringing it back slowly. Either way, this is a win for Sweet Heat fans who have been struggling to find a worthy replacement snack since its disappearance.
