Car will not start? We replace the battery at your address and check whether the alternator charges it.
Send us the make, model, year and where the car is.
We work in several cities in Serbia. Tell us your city.
Do you have a newer car or start-stop?
Then the replacement takes more than moving the cables. What your car needs, we tell you when you send the make, model and year.
A battery that suits the car
- A car with start-stop has an EFB or AGM battery. It copes with the engine often stopping and starting.
- It gets the same type of battery as the factory one, or a better one. We do not fit one weaker than the factory battery.
Registering it in the car computer
- On many newer cars the new battery is registered in the car computer. This is also called battery coding.
- Without registering it, start-stop can stop working, and the car uses more fuel.
Send us the make, model and year.

We check the battery and the alternator
We fit a new battery only when you agree.
On the spot we check with a tester whether the battery is worn out or just flat, and whether the alternator charges it. We tell you the result before the replacement. When the battery is just flat, we start the car and do not replace it.
The price depends on:
- Which battery suits your car.
- Where the battery is and how it is reached.
- Whether the car needs registration in the computer.
- Where the car is.

We fit the new one and check it works
We clean the terminals and secure the new battery. When the car needs registration, we do it with the replacement. We start the car and check the alternator charges the new battery. We take the old battery away. You pay in cash or through a company.
After the battery replacement
- Start-stop may start working later. The car computer sometimes needs a few hours to finish adjusting. If start-stop does not work even after that or a warning appears on the dashboard, call us.
- Drive longer too, not only short trips. That way the battery gets fully charged.
- Check the lights are off. A light left on drains the battery while the car stands.

Starting with jump leads does not show whether the battery is worn out or just flat. We find that out with a check.
Questions
How much does battery replacement cost?
It depends on the battery that goes in your car and the work around it. The price includes the new battery, the visit, the replacement and an alternator check. We tell you the price when you send the make, model and year.
Do you come when the car will not start?
Yes. You do not have to jump-start the car or drive it to a shop. Tell us your city, and we agree the place and time by phone.
The battery is not under the bonnet?
In many cars the battery is in the boot, and in some in the cabin or under a seat. We replace such a battery too. First we remove the parts covering it.
What is battery coding?
It is registering the new battery in the car computer. Many newer cars need it, and in some the computer recognises the new battery by itself over time. Without registering it, start-stop can stop working. Whether your car needs it, we tell you when you send the make, model and year.
Can a stronger battery than the factory one go in?
Yes, if it fits in place of the old one. We do not fit one weaker than the factory battery. For cars that need registration, we register exactly that new battery in the computer.
Start-stop does not work after the replacement. What now?
Drive normally. After the replacement start-stop sometimes does not work for a few hours, until the car computer finishes adjusting. If it does not work even after that or a warning appears on the dashboard, call us.
Can the old battery be traded in?
We take the old battery away. Whether its value is taken off the price of the new one, we tell you with the price.
Can it be replaced while the engine runs?
No. While the engine runs, the battery cable is not removed. We replace the battery with the engine off.
