Service 07 · Battery replacement

New battery,
fitted
roadside.

When a jump won't hold, we test and replace the battery where you are, so you skip the second trip.

  • Tested first
  • Fitted on the spot
  • Quoted upfront

Test before replace

Not every no-start is a bad battery. We test the battery and the charging system first. If the battery is the problem, we quote a replacement on the spot; if the alternator or starter is at fault, a new battery will not fix it and we tell you so.

What's involved

  • Confirm the right size, terminal layout and type for your vehicle
  • Fit the new battery and secure it properly
  • Clean and tighten the terminals
  • Check that the car starts and charges

Newer cars

Many newer cars use AGM or EFB batteries for their start-stop systems, and some need a new battery registered with the vehicle's computer. Give dispatch the year, make and model so the quote covers the right battery.

What's included

  • Battery and charging test
  • The right battery for your vehicle
  • Fitting and terminal clean-up
  • Start and charge check

Questions

How do I know my battery is dying?

Slow cranking, a battery warning light, needing jump starts and headlights that dim at idle are the usual signs. Cold weather exposes a weak battery fastest.

Is a replacement always needed after a jump?

No. A battery drained by lights left on can recover fully after a good drive. A battery that keeps going flat, or tests weak, is the one to replace.

Can you replace it in a parking lot or at home?

Yes, wherever the vehicle is and it is safe to work. Give dispatch the location when you call.
