Private hire questions
Q.Why does my taxi eat batteries faster than a private car?
Because it cycles far more. Fifty starts a day plus long idles with cabin load is several times the duty a standard battery is designed for.
Q.Is AGM worth the extra for a hire vehicle?
Usually yes. Under high cycling the longer service life normally outweighs the higher purchase price well before the second year.
Q.How fast can you turn a job around?
Hire vehicles are prioritised alongside trade vans. Most Moseley jobs are completed within the hour of arrival, often much less.
Q.Do you cover Moseley and the B13 area for this?
Yes. Moseley is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via A435 Alcester Road, roughly 3 miles from Birmingham. We cover it alongside Birmingham and the surrounding streets.
Q.Will I lose my radio code and seat memory?
No — we use a 12V memory saver on the OBD port during the swap, so all adaptations and settings are preserved.
Q.What do you do with my old battery?
It goes back to a licensed recycler. Around 99% of a lead-acid battery is recyclable. No landfill, and we don't charge for disposal.
