Mobile car battery replacement
A car that won't start doesn't always have a bad battery. We test before we replace, fit the right one for your car, and take the old one away.

4.8 from 19 Google reviewsThree things that pass for a bad battery
Corroded or loose terminals stop the current getting through, and the car behaves exactly as if the battery were dead. A tired alternator never refills the battery, so it runs down a little every day. And something staying switched on after you lock the car will flatten a perfectly good battery overnight.
Each of those has a different fix, and only one of them is a new battery. That's why we test first.
Why they don't last long here
Parking in open sun through a Tampa summer cooks a battery from the outside while the engine cooks it from underneath. Add a lot of short trips that never fully recharge it, and three years is a fair expectation.
If yours is around that age and starting to hesitate on cold mornings or after the car has sat a few days, it's worth checking before it strands you.
$125, wherever the battery lives
Same labor price whether it sits on top of the engine, under a seat, in the trunk or behind a wheel liner. The battery itself is priced separately for your vehicle.
Plenty of newer vehicles need the replacement registered to the charging system, and skipping it shortens the new battery's life. We do it as part of the job.
The number we give you before work begins is the number you pay. Find something else on the car? We call you first, and nothing gets added without your OK.

Questions
Batteries, answered
Is $125 the full price?
That's the labor, and it's the same for every vehicle. The battery is priced separately depending on what your car takes.
How long should a battery last in Tampa?
About three years is realistic here. Heat shortens battery life noticeably compared with cooler states.
Do you take the old one?
Yes, we recycle it. No trip to the parts store and no core charge to deal with.

Alternators
Battery light on while driving? We confirm it's the alternator, then replace it on site.
