A free battery health check, and Genuine Volkswagen batteries fitted and coded while you wait – so a cold morning never catches you out.
A 12V battery typically lasts four to six years, and the first sign of trouble is often a car that will not start on a frosty morning. Our free battery test measures its charge, cranking power and the charging system, and tells you how much life is left – before you are stuck.

Modern Volkswagens monitor the battery closely to manage start-stop and charging. When a new battery is fitted it has to be registered with the car’s energy management system; if it is not, the car keeps charging as if the old battery were still there, and the new one can fail early. We fit the exact type for your car and code it with Volkswagen diagnostics.
Car batteries contain lead and acid and must never go in household waste. We take your old battery when we fit a new one and return it to Volkswagen’s recycling scheme, where almost every component is recovered.
Prices depend on the battery type your car needs – AGM, EFB or standard. Book a free test and we will quote a firm price for the right Genuine battery, fitted and coded.
Usually four to six years. Short journeys, cold winters and lots of electrical equipment shorten its life, so we recommend a test every autumn once the battery is over three years old.
On most modern Volkswagens the new battery must be coded to the car, otherwise the charging system will not look after it properly and it may fail early. We fit and code it in under an hour.
A red battery light while driving means the battery is not being charged – usually an alternator or drive belt problem. Have it checked as soon as possible.
The system switches off when the battery cannot support it, so it is often the first sign of a tired battery. A free test will confirm.
Yes. Every ID. has a 12V battery that powers the electronics and wakes up the high-voltage system. If it fails the car will not start, so we check it at every service.
We take it away and return it to Volkswagen’s recycling scheme free of charge.
