Cartagena and surroundings

Mobile battery replacement in Cartagena

The car won't start and you're in the parking lot at work, at your gated complex or right outside your house: we bring you the battery and install it right there. First we test the battery and the alternator, so we don't replace what doesn't need replacing.

We're open Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays until 2:00 p.m. If the car died on a Sunday or at night, message us: there's a special service with payment in advance.

Why batteries don't last as long in Cartagena

The heat speeds up electrolyte evaporation and terminal corrosion, and the salt air finishes the job. A battery that lasts years inland gives warning signs sooner here: slow cranking in the morning, lights dimming when the A/C comes on, white or green powder on the terminals. Why the battery drains in the heat and what to check before it leaves you stranded.

If you only need terminal cleaning or a test, we also do it as part of the mobile preventive maintenance.

How do I pay?

When the service is done, in cash or by transfer. The price is agreed on WhatsApp before the visit and doesn't change unless you approve something extra.

How long does it take you to arrive if the car won't start?

It depends on where you are and on traffic. From Marbella, Crespo is a few minutes away and Bocagrande or Zona Norte between 15 and 40. Message us on WhatsApp with your location and we'll give you the arrival time before heading out.

Which battery do you put in my car?

The part number and amperage your vehicle calls for, from brands with distributor backing and a warranty. Send us the make, model and year and we'll tell you which one it is and what it costs.

What if the battery is new and the car still won't start?

That's why we test first. If the test shows the problem is the alternator or the wiring, we tell you and we don't install a battery you don't need.
