Battery replacement on modern vehicles is not always straightforward. Many current vehicles require the new battery to be 'registered' to the vehicle's management system so the alternator charges at the correct rate. Without this step, the alternator may overcharge the new battery and shorten its life significantly.
Our technicians are equipped with the necessary diagnostic equipment to register new batteries on vehicles that require it, including popular makes such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Ford and many others. This is a step many fast-fit centres skip - at Norwich Tyres & Auto Service, we do the job properly.
Battery replacement is typically completed within 30-45 minutes. Call 07933 900901 to confirm battery availability for your specific vehicle before travelling.

On older, simpler vehicles, yes. However, many modern cars require the new battery to be registered to the vehicle's management system - a process that requires specialist diagnostic equipment. Without registration, the alternator may overcharge the battery and shorten its life. We recommend professional fitting for most modern vehicles.
