Batteries, Starting & Charging

Battery testing and replacement, plus starter motor and alternator faults diagnosed and repaired.

Overview

About our batteries & charging

A car that is slow to start, or will not start at all, usually comes down to the battery, the starter motor or the charging system, and it is easy to replace the wrong one. We test the whole starting and charging circuit so the real culprit is fixed.

We supply and fit quality batteries to the correct specification, including the AGM and EFB batteries that stop-start cars need, and we diagnose and replace starter motors and alternators when they are the problem.

What Is Included

  • Battery health and charge test
  • Supply and fit of the correct battery type
  • Stop-start (AGM and EFB) battery coding where required
  • Charging system and alternator test
  • Starter motor diagnosis and replacement
  • Parasitic drain investigation
  • Safe disposal of your old battery

Every car and every job is a little different, so we quote on the facts rather than quoting blind. Tell us what you need and we will give you a clear price with no obligation. The main things that affect the cost are:

  • The battery type and capacity your car requires
  • Whether the fault is the battery, starter or alternator
  • Coding needed for stop-start vehicles
  • Parts and labour for any component replacement

FAQs

Batteries & Charging questions

The things people most often ask us about this service.

Typically four to five years, though cold weather, short journeys and electrical demand all shorten that. A battery test tells you how much life is left before it leaves you stranded.

If a fresh battery keeps draining, the cause is usually the charging system or a parasitic drain, something staying powered when it should be off. We test for both rather than simply fitting another battery.

Yes. Stop-start systems need an AGM or EFB battery, and many cars need the new battery coded to the vehicle. Fitting a standard battery can cause faults, so it is worth having done properly.
