Testing and fitting

Car Batteries

If your car is slow to start, especially on cold mornings, the battery is usually the culprit. We test batteries free of charge and can fit a new one while you wait.

We also check the alternator and charging system, because a flat battery is sometimes a symptom rather than the cause.
