How long is your lead time (ETA)
Most of the time we are able to sassist with in an hour to an hour and a half. Some days are just crazy and we get fully booked by lunchtime, in those cases, the lead time may be a little longer. In all cases though we keep you up to date with our progress and how long you still have to wait.
I will always let you know as soon as I am on my way to you.
Do you accept card payments?
Yes as a matter of fact we prefer card payments, but will accept cash if that is what clients insist on. We make use of the Yoco payment system, they are a secure and reliable transaction processing company with a great sucurity track record.
We accept most major cards, but sadly do not accept fleet cards at this point.
Can I come pick up a battery from your shop
No, battery for you is a mobile only battery service. We spacialise in going out and assisting our customers on site. Clients that drive to our premises might arrive when I am not there which is just a waste of time.
Rather book a time with me to come to you, or if you are a DIY type person, it is better to visit an battery shop.
Do you program the battery?
Yes for all the cars that havew a BMS (battery management system) we program/register/code the battery to the cars system to ensure the correct charging voltages are applied to the newly installed battery.
