- OBD battery registration for BMW, Audi, VW, Mercedes, Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen — included in the fit price

Private hire questions
Q.How do I know my battery needs replacing rather than jumpstarting?
If it's over 4 years old and going flat repeatedly, or the CCA on a load tester reads under 60% of rated, it's replacement time. Jumpstarting will only get you a day or two.
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 Walsgrave jobs are completed within the hour of arrival, often much less.
Q.Do you cover Walsgrave and the CV2 area for this?
Yes. Walsgrave is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M6 J2/J3, roughly 3 miles from Coventry. We cover it alongside Coventry 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.
