Car Battery Testing and FAQ
Ever replaced your battery only to find your car problem wasn't fixed? Don't be left feeling flat, get your battery tested at a full service workshop.
Read moreThere’s nothing like a frosty Richmond morning to show up a tired car battery. If your engine’s taking longer to kick over—or not starting at all—your battery might be on its way out.
At J & F Motors, we know how frustrating a flat battery can be, especially when you're rushing to work, uni, or the market. That’s why we offer quick, reliable battery checks and replacements right here in Richmond, so you’re never left stranded.
Even in the city, cold mornings can cause real problems for your battery. When temperatures drop, the chemical reactions inside your battery slow down—meaning it has less power to get your engine started. Add in all the power demands from lights, heaters, and windscreen wipers, and a weak battery can quickly give up.
If your battery’s a few years old or already weakened by heat and stop-start city traffic, winter is when it’s most likely to fail.
Not sure if your battery is up to the task? Look out for these common warning signs:
When you come in for a battery check, here’s what you can expect Fast voltage and load testing with accurate results, Inspection of battery terminals and cable condition and friendly, no-nonsense advice—if your battery’s fine, we’ll tell you.
If a replacement is needed, we’ll fit a quality battery that suits your car and your driving needs. We stock reliable, long-lasting batteries and get the job done quickly so you can get on with your day.
