Car battery replacement
Heat kills car batteries in the Gulf faster than cold does anywhere else. We test the battery and the charging system, then fit a new one in the right size and type.
Time: About 15 to 20 minutes; longer on cars where the battery sits under a seat or in the boot.
What to expect
- Battery tested under load
- Alternator output and drain checked
- Right group size and type matched
- Terminals cleaned, battery secured
- Old battery taken off your hands
Brands we use
Varta, Hyundai, SF Sonic, Zenet and Maxx. The right one depends on the car and the size we carry; call to confirm.
Questions drivers ask
How long does a battery last here?
Often two to three years. Heat dries the electrolyte and ages the plates faster than cold weather ever does.
Does stop-start need a special battery?
Yes, an EFB or AGM. A standard battery in one of those cars fails early and can upset the electronics.
