Slow crank in the morning
Battery on its way out, or a parasitic drain. We test under load and pin down which.

Battery test & replace, same day.
Dead battery on the driveway? Slow crank in the morning? We test on-site, supply the right battery for your vehicle, fit it and code it where the vehicle needs it - usually within the hour.
Modern vehicles are fussy about batteries. Stop-start cars need EFB or AGM. Some need the new battery coded to the BMS so the charge profile resets correctly. Fit the wrong type and the system won’t charge properly - or the stop-start function never works again.
We carry quality batteries to cover most cars and vans, plus commercial-spec batteries for HGVs. We test the existing battery and the alternator before assuming the battery is dead - sometimes it’s a charging fault, and a new battery just kills itself on the same problem.
Most replacements take 30 minutes from arrival. We code where the vehicle requires it (BMW, Mercedes, VAG, Ford, Volvo and most modern stop-start vans) and recycle your old battery for you.
When to call
Tell-tale signs.
Anything from this list is worth a phone call. We’ll talk it through and only drive out if there’s a job to do.
02
Stop-start no longer working
The car’s decided the battery isn’t healthy enough for stop-start. Replace and re-code.
03
Won’t start at all
Click-click-click or dead silence. Often a battery, sometimes a starter. We diagnose first.
04
Battery warning light
Charging fault, not necessarily a battery. We test alternator output before condemning the battery.
05
Fleet of vans / cars
Annual battery health check across a fleet catches the ones that’ll fail this winter.
06
HGV not turning over
Commercial-spec batteries from the van. We can pop one in at the yard or at the roadside.
