In short

Car Batteries

A flat battery almost never happens somewhere convenient. We carry batteries in the van, so instead of finding a jump start, driving across town and hoping the shop has your size, we come to the car, test what is actually wrong, and fit a new battery on the spot if that is what it needs.

Scope

What this covers

Tested before it is replaced

A car that will not start is not always a dead battery. We test before we sell you one, because a new battery on a bad alternator is money thrown away.

Mobile battery call-outs

Underground parking, an office bay, outside the flat at six in the morning. We come to the car.

Supplied and fitted

The battery is fitted, terminals cleaned and the clamp tightened properly. Loose terminals cause a surprising number of no-start calls.

Old battery taken away

We take the old one with us. A lead-acid battery is not something to leave in a bin.

Batteries and tyres in one visit

If the car needs both, it is one call-out. The van carries both.

We’ll open WhatsApp with the message written.

It is printed on the sidewall of the tyre you already have — three numbers like 195/65R15. Pick it below, tell us where you are, and we will come back with stock and a price fitted.

Questions

Car batteries — the usual questions.

My car will not start. Is it definitely the battery?
Not always. A slow, laboured crank usually is. A single click, or lights that work fine but nothing happens, can be the starter or the terminals. We test rather than guess.
How long does a car battery last?
Three to five years is normal in Cape Town conditions. Short trips, a lot of load shedding-era standing time and heat all shorten it. If yours is over four years old and struggling on cold mornings, it is telling you something.
Do you come out for batteries as well as tyres?
Yes. It is the same van and the same call-out. If the car needs a battery and a tyre, we do both in one visit.
What do you do with the old battery?
We take it away with us for recycling. It is included, not an extra.
