They are under a new owner and were backlogged for awhile but I think they did a good job at catching up, the battery I ordered from them about 6 months ago was delivered before the date they had originally quoted me and with no issues so far

Spoke to new owner a couple of weeks ago. Now known as Jim’s Batteries,,,forget If Antique still part of name.

Costco has excellent pricing and an unbeatable warranty on Interstate batteries. Non of this pro-rata stuff. If they have your size, that is.

I went with a standard parts jobber battery and used a battery topper so it looks factory but with modern durability and power of a 900 CCA battery

As someone who has been in the battery distribution business for over 20 years those aluminum post extenders look pretty sketchy.
