If your battery is more than 3 years old and showing any of these symptoms, it's worth getting it tested.

Most battery replacements take between 30 minutes and 1 hour. Some vehicles with batteries in awkward locations (under seats or in the boot) can take a little longer. We'll also reset any electrical systems that need it after fitting.
