Warning Signs to Look For

Common indicators that your car’s battery needs replacing are:

  • Weak or flickering headlights, dashboard warning lights or other electronics
  • Your engine struggles to start, especially on a cold morning
  • Issues using multiple electronics at the same time (i.e. headlights, radio, electric windows)

 

It’s also likely that your car has a battery problem if you notice this dashboard warning light:

This indicates that something isn’t working properly and needs looking at as soon as possible.

How Your Mobile Battery Fitting Works

Assessment

Your chosen technician will assess the condition of your battery through a diagnostic check to confirm it needs replacing.

 

Replacement

Next, they’ll safely remove the old battery and fit an appropriate replacement, based on the specifications and requirements of your vehicle.

 

Testing

Once they’ve fitted the new battery, they’ll test your vehicle’s electrics to ensure everything is working properly, and that changing the battery has solved your problem.

 

Recycling

Your technician will take the old battery away to be safely recycled, following all the proper procedures. This is included in the cost of your repair.

 

Fitting the Right Battery First Time

No matter what battery your car needs, the mobile technicians listed on our platform can replace it. Based on your vehicle registration and details, they’ll know whether you need a standard 12V battery, an AGM/EFB battery for a stop-start system or anything in between.

That means you’ll always get the right battery fitted at a time and place that works for you, making a booking with a UK mobile mechanic listed on BookMyGarage.com a great deal.

 

 

Frequently asked questions

How often should I replace my battery?

The average driver should need to replace their car’s battery every 3-5 years. If your car sits unused for long periods, is only ever driven short distances or frequently driven in a cold climate, you may need to replace the battery more frequently.

If your battery is over 3 years old and you’re worried it’s started failing, we recommend booking an inspection with a local mobile mechanic for peace of mind.

What battery does my car need?

Petrol and diesel cars use a standard 12V battery, but the specifications can differ depending on your make and model, engine type and whether your vehicle uses stop-start technology.

Your chosen technician will identify the right battery for your vehicle based on the details you supply when making the booking.

What happens to my old battery?

Once your car’s battery has been changed, the technician will take it away with them and safely dispose of it. The process of recycling old car batteries ensures lead and plastic stay out of landfill – and can be re-used – and harmful chemicals don’t cause environmental damage.

Technicians are obligated to recycle batteries in this way, so you don’t need to worry about doing it yourself. Most importantly, every upfront price on our platform includes this service as standard – no shock to the system when it comes to pay.

What do the Tier badges mean?

If a mobile mechanic satisfies our requirements for customer service, satisfaction ratings and service excellence, we reward them with a Silver, Gold or Top Tier badge. This marks them as a service provider that offers an even higher-quality experience, leaving you feeling totally satisfied after every appointment.

When do I pay for my appointment?

We never ask for payment details upfront.

Once you’ve chosen your technician, you deal with them directly from start to finish, paying only after the work is complete – giving you full peace of mind.

Some mobile technicians may request some commitment or payment upfront to cover the costs of them coming out to you.

Can I compare mobile mechanics another way?

While we always aim to show you the most relevant mobile mechanic, true value looks different to everyone. If you’re after the cheapest deal or the highest rated local provider, select the right option for your needs from the Sort By dropdown in the top right corner to compare mobile mechanics by what matters most to you.

Can I reschedule my appointment?

Yes, you can amend your booking details right up until the appointment date via the confirmation email you received or through your BookMyGarage account. Your chosen mobile mechanic will contact you to acknowledge the amendment and re-confirm your battery replacement booking..

What does 'BMG Verified' mean?

A member of our team has physically met and vetted every mobile mechanic marked as BMG Verified to ensure they meet clear service standards.

Do I need to be home during the appointment?

While you don’t necessarily need to be at home while the mobile mechanic works on your car, we would strongly advise it. While a battery replacement is quite a quick and easy service to complete, the technician will need to discuss next steps with you if something else is causing your car’s electrical problem.

At the very least, we recommend that you’re contactable during your appointment in case your car requires extra work and to ensure quick and easy payment.

What happens if it rains on the day of my appointment?

Most mobile mechanics will work in light rain, but heavy rain, snow or other unsafe conditions will usually result in them rescheduling your appointment for when the weather improves. They will contact you directly on the day if they run into any weather-related issues.

If you can provide a covered space like a garage, the mechanic may be able to complete your repair as normal.

Is there anything I need to do to prepare my car for the mobile mechanic?

Please ensure your car is parked on a flat surface and is easily accessible for the mechanic. Ideally, this would be a private garage or driveway rather than a public road to ensure the technician can work safely during the repair.

The mechanic may also need your car keys or the locking wheel nut, so please make sure these are accessible on the day.

We recommend that you’re at home during the appointment in case your chosen mechanic runs into any issues they need to discuss with you. If this isn’t possible, please ensure you’ve made other arrangements with the technician beforehand and are still contactable during your repair.
