What the service includes
Everything is done on the spot, cleanly.
A battery always dies at the worst moment — a cold morning, in a car park. Rather than having the car towed, the mechanic comes to you: they test the battery and alternator and, if the battery is dead, replace it with one suited to your model, with the electronic coding needed on recent start-stop vehicles.
