Why Buy Interstate Batteries?

A number of months ago, I was warned that my car's battery was on its way out and it would be necessary to buy a new one. I've had my car for 3 years and the battery (an Interstate) was in it at the time; however I am unsure of its age.

I did my research and found that Interstate and Costco have the best batteries both in the opinions of customer and expert reviewers (such as Consumer Reports).

A couple of weeks ago, my car's battery was drained when my fan ran for hours. Though I realised it was not the battery, but the fan causing the problem, I decided to purchase a battery. I chose Costco because of the ease, the price, and their reputation. My fan decided not to act up again after that day (yet) so I've had no other problems.

I would, however, purchase an Interstate next time (provided the cost is comparable and it is feasible to do so) because of the policies by which Interstate operates.

Here is their mission statement:
"To glorify God as we supply our customers worldwide with top quality, value-priced batteries, related electrical power-source products, and distribution services. Further, our mission is to provide our partners and team members with opportunities which are profitable, rewarding and growth-oriented." 

and their philosophy:
"To treat others as we want to be treated: treating all our business associates with respect, fairness, and integrity; caring for and listening to them; professionally serving them; always being a model of working hard and striving toward excellence."

I would rather support a company such as Interstate that has the same values I have and supports things I agree with.

There's nothing like seeing a company that claims Christian principles and actually backs it up by delivering superior goods.
