If your car battery is flat and you’ve already tried recharging it - for instance, by using a portable battery power pack or finding another car to give yours a jump start - you may need to have a new one fitted.
Car batteries don’t last forever - usually between three and five years - so it’s perfectly normal to need a replacement, especially if yours is old or damaged. Signs that your battery is starting to fail include dim headlights, electrical issues, a warning light on the dashboard and difficulty starting the engine.
The good news is that a mobile mechanic can come out to your home to fit a new battery for you, saving you from having to take your car to a garage.

Benefits of a mobile car battery replacement
Replacing a battery is a fast and easy job, usually taking no more than 20 minutes, which makes it ideal for a mobile mechanic to carry out. You don’t have to stress about finding a garage and somehow getting your car there - a mobile battery replacement can be completed almost anywhere, as long as it is safe.
This guide discusses whether mobile mechanics are any good.
Sometimes, using a mobile mechanic is cheaper than going to a conventional garage because they don’t have any overheads like rent and bills, allowing them to give these savings back to you. For many drivers, this is the most significant benefit of booking a mobile battery replacement (after the obvious convenience of the service).
Follow this advice to get the most out of your new battery.

When should you replace your car battery?
Batteries don’t usually last longer than five years, so as soon as you notice any signs of failure - like dim lights and trouble starting your car - it’s a good idea to book a replacement. These symptoms will only get worse until eventually, the battery fails altogether.

What information do you need to replace a car battery?
If you’re changing the battery yourself, you’ll need to consult your owner’s manual to find out what type of battery your car requires. On the other hand, if a mobile mechanic is doing it for you, all you’ll need to provide is your registration number; they’ll do the rest.
What will happen on the day of my mobile battery fitting appointment?
All you have to do is ensure your car is parked somewhere where the mechanic can easily - and safely - access the bonnet. They will contact you on the day to confirm a time and any other details required to carry out the job. It shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes.
