CAR BATTERIES
CANBERRA.
Canberra winters are brutal on batteries. We test cold-cranking amps properly, tell you whether it's the battery or the charging system, and fit a correctly specced replacement while you wait.
Also need tyres? Browse our tyre range or see all workshop services.
Call to book, same-day a new battery is often available.
Signs your battery is on the way out.
Slow cranking on frosty mornings
A Canberra minus-five morning is the ultimate battery test, if it labours to start then, it's near the end.
Dash lights dim when starting
Headlights or dash dimming heavily during crank means the battery can't hold voltage under load.
Battery over four years old
Most batteries last three to five years here, cold winters and short trips shorten that considerably.
Needed a jump start recently
One jump start is a warning. A battery that has been flat deep-discharges and rarely fully recovers.
Everything included, no surprises.
Free CCA Test
A real load test, not a voltage reading, so you know what capacity is actually left.
Charging System Check
Alternator output tested, because a flat battery is often a charging fault.
Winter-Rated Stock
Batteries specced with the cold-cranking amps Canberra mornings demand.
AGM & Stop-Start
Correct AGM or EFB batteries for modern stop-start vehicles.
Fitted While You Wait
Most replacements take about 20 minutes, no booking needed for a test.
Warranty Included
Every battery carries a manufacturer warranty, kept on file against your rego.
Where your car batteries gets done.
Everything happens under one roof at 110 Wollongong Street, Fyshwick — tyre fitting, spin balancing, computerised alignment and full mechanical servicing.
Budget, mid-range and premium tyres in stock, fitted while you wait.
Booked in, in three steps.
Drop in for a free test
Call 1800 701 030 or come to Fyshwick, the test takes a few minutes and tells us the actual cold-cranking amps left.
Battery or charging system?
We check alternator output too, because a good battery being poorly charged looks identical from the driver's seat.
Fitted while you wait
Correct group size and CCA fitted, terminals cleaned, memory retained and the old battery recycled.
Free testing, replacement quoted by battery type and size
Stop-start vehicles need AGM or EFB batteries, which cost more than a standard flooded battery. We quote the correct type for your car, not the cheapest one that fits.

Canberra locals rate us 5.0 out of 5
"Booked a set of four tyres online and dropped the car off on my way to work. Ready by lunchtime, balanced perfectly and the price matched the quote exactly."
"Had a slow leak that turned out to be a nail in the sidewall. They were upfront that it couldn’t be repaired and had a replacement tyre fitted within the hour."
"Logbook service done properly, stamped and everything, for a lot less than the dealership quoted. Will be bringing both our cars here from now on."
"Steering was pulling to the left after some suspension work elsewhere. Wheel alignment fixed it completely, and they showed me the before and after printout."
"Punctured a tyre on the Federal Highway. Called ahead, they had it repaired the same afternoon and even checked the tread on the other three at no extra cost."
"Vibration through the wheel at highway speed turned out to be a balancing issue. Sorted in under 40 minutes and hasn’t come back since."
Car Batteries for customers across Canberra & Queanbeyan.
Canberra records some of the coldest mornings of any Australian capital, and cold is what kills batteries. A battery that starts fine in March can fail on the first hard frost in June, usually in a driveway in Gungahlin or a car park in Woden. We test free, explain the numbers, and only recommend replacement when the test says so, fitting AGM or EFB batteries where stop-start systems demand them.
