Battery Replacement
A flat battery sorted at your home or work — no garage visit needed.
Your car battery powers the starter motor and keeps the electrics running, but it does not last forever. Batteries wear out with age, struggle in cold weather, and lose charge when a car is only used for short journeys that never let it fully recharge. The good news is that replacement is usually a quick job, and our mobile mechanics can supply and fit a new battery at your home or workplace so you are back on the road the same day.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a car battery last?
Most car batteries last around four to six years, though this varies with climate, driving habits and how often the car is used. Lots of short journeys and long periods parked up tend to shorten a battery's life.
Can a mobile mechanic fit a battery at my home?
Yes. Battery replacement is well suited to mobile work, so our mechanic comes to your home or workplace, fits the new battery, and checks the charging system on the spot. There is no need to drive to a garage.
Does a new battery need coding or registering?
Many newer vehicles do. Cars with stop-start systems or smart charging often need the new battery registered to the car's management system so it charges correctly. Where this applies, we carry it out as part of the job.
Why do batteries often fail in winter?
Cold weather reduces a battery's available power while the engine needs more energy to start. A battery that was already weak will often give up on the first cold morning, which is why winter exposes failing batteries.
