Battery Testing & Replacement

Are you suspecting that your car battery is not quite working as it should? Here at Urmston Tyres and Exhaust Ltd, we can help you diagnose a faulty battery with our free battery test to see if your battery is operating to its full working potential.

We will also check to see if your alternator is charging the battery correctly, as this is a common issue linked to battery problems.

If we determine that your battery is faulty and needs replacement, we would be happy to provide you with a new, high-quality, and durable battery for your vehicle. We'll also take care of the installation and ensure proper disposal of your old battery. Typically, if you need a new battery, we can change it on the same day or by the next working day.
