Dead battery in a tower basement or on The Walk? A technician drives to your car, tests it and fits a new one on the spot.

Not every dead battery needs replacing. We test first, then do the least you need to drive away.
Lights left on, or the car sat for two weeks while you travelled. We start it with a booster pack and check the battery will hold charge.

Battery testing in JBR
The right size and type for your car, fitted where it's parked. Terminals cleaned, settings kept, old battery taken for recycling.
Find the battery for your carFrom first message to driving away usually takes under an hour.
Tell us the car's make, model and year, and where it's parked. Tower name and parking level save time.
We send the batteries that fit your car and the total for each, before anyone sets off.
Inside JBR that's usually 20 to 35 minutes. The old battery is tested first, so you only replace it if it has failed.
New battery in, terminals cleaned, charging system checked. Pay by cash, card, Tabby or Tamara.
Our technicians are based in JBR, so they know which ramp drops to your basement and which barrier needs a word with security first.

Fourteen brands across entry, mid and higher tiers, so there is a sensible option for a ten-year-old runabout and for a new start-stop SUV.
Three ways to deal with a dead battery, and what each one usually looks like.

|---|---|---|---|
| Where it's done | At your car | At the service centre | At the garage, after a tow |

| Open at 2am | Yes, 24/7 | No | Rarely |
| Warranty | Up to 24 months, in writing | Varies by brand | It varies |

Dealership and garage columns describe what is typical in Dubai. Individual providers differ.
In cooler countries a battery often lasts four or five years. Here two to three is normal, and these are the reasons.
How long batteries really last in DubaiSummer engine bays run far hotter than the air outside. Heat speeds up corrosion of the plates and dries out the acid.
JBR to Marina Mall and back never gives the alternator time to put back what the starter took out.
Three weeks in a basement while you travel is enough for alarms and trackers to drain a healthy battery flat.
Dashcams in parking mode, chargers left plugged in and aftermarket trackers keep drawing power with the engine off.
Salt air near the beach corrodes clamps. A poor connection stops the battery charging properly even on long drives.
Replace like with like. Fitting a lower-grade type than the car was built with is the most common reason a new battery fails early.

None of this is complicated. It adds months, sometimes a year.
Covered parking keeps the battery cooler all day. In open-air parking, a windscreen shade helps a little.
Twenty to thirty minutes at steady speed, on Sheikh Zayed Road rather than around the block, recharges it properly.
AC, lights and screen off before you turn the engine off, so the next start has less to carry.
Ask someone to drive the car weekly, or use a trickle charger. Unplug dashcams and chargers before you go.
White or green crust on the clamps means a poor connection. It takes a technician five minutes to clean.
A battery that is weak in April will fail in July. A test takes ten minutes and tells you how much life is left.
Our technicians are based in JBR, so the towers along The Walk, the beach parking and the Marina side are the quickest to reach. The circle shows roughly 5 km from our base.
The same number gets you a mechanic, a recovery truck or an AC technician. Small jobs are done where the car is parked.

Car was dead on P2 after three weeks away. Sent the tower and bay number on WhatsApp and the technician was at the car in about 25 minutes. He tested it first and showed me the printout before changing anything.

The dealership quoted me three days. These guys fitted an AGM battery in my building's basement the same evening and registered it to the car. Start-stop works again.

Honest. I was sure I needed a new battery. He jump started it, checked the alternator and told me the battery still had life in it, just drive it more. Didn't try to sell me anything.

Friday night on The Walk so it took closer to 40 minutes than 30, but they called to say so. Battery is in the boot on mine and he knew exactly where to go. Paid with Tabby.

Clear about the options. Three brands that fit my car, what each one cost and how long the warranty was, all on WhatsApp before he set off. No surprises when he arrived.

Second time I've used them, different car. Same result: on time, clean job, terminals cleaned without me asking. I've saved the number.

Security at my cluster can be difficult with outside contractors. They told me exactly what to say to the gate and it went smoothly. Battery changed in twenty minutes.

Usually 20 to 35 minutes anywhere inside JBR, a little longer when The Walk loop is jammed on a weekend evening. You get a realistic arrival time when you message, and a call if it changes.
Yes. Tower basements, podium parking, hotel valet areas, beach parking and the roadside are all fine. We need the bonnet to open and about a metre of space in front of or beside the car.
We test before selling anything. If the battery is healthy but drained, a jump start and a proper drive will do. If the test shows it can no longer hold charge or deliver cranking power, it needs replacing.
Varta, Bosch, Amaron, ACDelco, Exide, Energizer, Duracell, Solite, Sebang, Panasonic, FIAMM, Tudor, Hyundai Mobis and Camel. We match the size, terminal layout and technology to your car first, then you choose the brand.
Up to 24 months, depending on the battery you choose. The warranty period is written on your invoice, and a warranty claim starts with a free test at your car.
Yes. You can split the payment with Tabby or Tamara, or pay by cash or card when the job is done.
Yes, 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including Fridays, Eid and National Day.
Yes. Start-stop cars need an EFB or AGM battery. We fit the same technology the car left the factory with and register the new battery to the car when the model requires it.
We take it with us and send it for recycling. Lead-acid batteries are almost fully recyclable and should never go in general waste.
The car's make, model and year, and where it is parked. A photo of the label on the current battery helps us match it exactly.
Message us the make, model and where it's parked. You'll have a price and an arrival time in a few minutes.
