For nearly 80 years, Hurwitz Batteries LLC, on 326 Hill Street, South Williamsport, has provided experienced battery and detailing needs to 12 Pennsylvania counties.
The current owner, Brian McWilliams, has been a part of the service wholesale operation for over 30 years. His father, the late Gary McWilliams, purchased the business from the original owner, Mel Hurwitz, and became owner in 1990. Brian, who was in high school at that time, then began working for the company.
After years of experience working as a technician and sales person, Brian bought the business from his father, Gary and step-mother, Clare McWilliams, and became owner in 2017. Clare still helps manage the operation alongside Brian.
With his many years of experience and the community's ever evolving necessity for battery needs, McWilliams ensured that the services and products available are of the best value.
"Batteries are what we do, it's becoming more and more specialized," McWilliams said. "We take the time to help somebody. We take the time to get them something that will last, something that has value."
The business provides a number of services to the greater Williamsport area and beyond. These services include battery wholesale, battery installation, battery analysis, recharge service and charging system checks for a large assortment of automotive vehicles as well as lawn and garden machinery.
Some of their complimentary services include automotive roadside battery installation and battery assessment.
In addition, they provide high demand detailing products, such as exterior and interior automotive cleaners, buffing compounds, filters, tire repair products, tire wheel weights and detailing spray.
McWilliams and his employees work with a variety of customers, often assisting car dealers, garages and professionals in the gas and farming industry.
Along with the specialized practice that the company provides, McWilliams explained that what also makes their services remarkable is his employees' knowledge and drive to work hard for their customers.
"We have a team that shows up to work, every day," he said. "Everybody here works hard. We follow through. We don't forget people."
The store continues to stay busy with customers, some new and returning. "I think what we do, we do really well. I think that is why we stay busy," McWilliams said.
Hurwitz Batteries is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
