Mobile Car Battery Supply Install Recommendations (Brisbane South-East)

PLA74 on 05/04/2019 - 20:07

Hello,

Current car battery has died (about 3.5 years old) which was originally purchased and installed by Kmart Tyre Auto Service (Exide DIN55MF - 550CCA/55AH). As I don't have roadside assist or a jump start solution, does anyone have recommendations for a company/person that does reasonably priced and reliable mobile car battery supply/install around Brisbane south-east area?

Got a quote from Kmart Tyre Auto Service of $249 for a new battery (Century DIN65LH - 660CCA/68AH) supplied/fitted however only issue is they don't offer a mobile service and I don't have a method to take the car to them since the car won't start.

Note that this is not urgent. Car is a 2007 Audi A3 1.8L turbo petrol 4 door hatchback automatic 8P (not quattro and not start stop engine).

Thanks!

Automotive

    I had the same issue on Tuesday, luckily I always carry Jumper Cables.

    I used https://www.batterycentralbrisbane.com.au/

    I believe they do free delivery (but not install). I got the Super charge Gold with 3year warranty. A 55 seems to be around $135.

        I drove there and swapped the battery in the car park.

        I would imagine if the Brisbane store has it and you order it in the morning it would most likely be same day.

    Marshall Batteries and Battery World both do mobile battery replacement.

    Hop on bus to local mall/kmart/supercheap and haul it back and install yourself…save yourself some $$

    In WA RAC will still sell & deliver a battery to non-members. Worth check with their QLD counterparts.
