A battery rarely fails without warning, but the warning is easy to miss: a starter that turns a little slower each cold morning. Cold weather is when they give out, because a cold battery delivers less and a cold engine asks for more.
Our check tests the battery itself, then the charging system and the starter, because a car that keeps going flat is as often an alternator or a drain on the battery as the battery.
Cars with stop-start need the right type of battery, usually AGM or EFB, and many need the new one registered to the car so it is charged correctly. Fitting the wrong type, or skipping the registration, can shorten its life considerably. We fit the type your car was built with and register it where needed.
If the battery is fine, we look further: alternators and starter motors are work we do here too.

Common questions
How long does a car battery last?
Typically around four to six years, less if the car mostly does short trips. We can test yours and tell you how it is doing.
Why has my stop-start stopped working?
Often because the battery is not holding enough charge, so the car keeps the engine running to protect it. A battery test is the first step.
Is the battery check free?
Yes. We test it, tell you what we find and price any work, and nothing is done without your go-ahead.
