New Battery Supplied & Fitted in Harborne
Battery supplied and fitted at your Harborne address — correct chemistry, coded where needed, old unit recycled. Car Jumpstart included, 24/7.
Choosing a battery is not just about physical size. Capacity in amp-hours, cold cranking amps, terminal layout, hold-down type and chemistry all have to match, and getting any one wrong causes problems weeks later rather than immediately.
If you're stuck with a flat battery anywhere from Birmingham to the centre of Harborne, we come to the vehicle, jump it properly and tell you whether the battery has life left or needs replacing.
Near Queen Elizabeth Hospital, we regularly cover car parks, driveways, kerbsides and residents-permit streets across the B17 area.

Specification, coding and fixing
- Specification is matched to the manufacturer's figures for capacity, cold cranking amps, terminal polarity and case size.
- Terminals are cleaned and treated, the hold-down is torqued properly, and the old battery is taken away for recycling.
- Alternator output measured at idle and at load so you know if a 20-minute drive will actually refill the battery
- Car Jumpstart work here is judged against the vehicle's own specification rather than a generic pass mark.
Where we fit
Edwardian villas in the area means most fittings are kerbside or driveway jobs rather than garage work, which suits a mobile operation.
Locally that means the streets between Harborne and Birmingham, with access via M6 J6 (Spaghetti Junction) and A38(M) Aston Expressway and a practical radius reaching Birmingham (~3 mi) and Smethwick (~3 mi).
Battery fitting questions
Q.How long should I drive after a jumpstart?
Ideally 30–45 minutes of continuous driving, not stop-start town use. But if the battery is old and the alternator can't get it above 12.6V at rest, it'll go flat again in days.
Q.Do you work on hybrids and mild-hybrids?
Yes — a hybrid still has a 12V auxiliary battery that starts everything. Toyota, Lexus, Honda and MHEV Ford/Vauxhall are all fine.
Q.What warranty comes with the battery?
Two to four years depending on the type fitted — standard flooded, EFB or AGM — with the paperwork issued at the vehicle.
Q.Will I lose my radio code and settings?
Not with memory retention in place, which is used as standard on any vehicle that needs it.
Q.Do you take the old battery away?
Yes, every time, for proper recycling. Nothing is left behind.
Q.Do you cover Harborne and the B17 area for this?
Yes. Harborne is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M6 J6 (Spaghetti Junction), roughly 3 miles from Birmingham. We cover it alongside Birmingham and the surrounding streets.

The short version
The details decide whether a new battery lasts four years or fourteen months: chemistry, capacity, coding and a properly torqued hold-down. Either way you get the readings, the reasoning and a working vehicle before we leave.
