Trusted by drivers from Lakenham (NR1) and across Norwich & Norfolk. Our Ber Street garage is just 1 mile south of Lakenham via City Road and Martineau Lane.
Modern vehicles place enormous demands on their batteries. Keyless entry, multiple ECUs, entertainment systems and stop-start technology all draw power, and a battery that was adequate five years ago may be struggling today. If your car is slow to start or your battery warning light is on, don't risk a breakdown.
Lakenham is a traditional working neighbourhood just south of Norwich city centre, one of the closest areas to our garage. Lakenham is arguably the closest suburb to our Ber Street garage - many customers from this area are able to walk to us or make the journey in just a few minutes by car. This makes us the obvious choice for Lakenham residents who need a fast, reliable tyre or auto service without travelling across the city.
Our garage at Ber Street, Norwich NR1 3ES is accessible from Lakenham via City Road and Martineau Lane. We offer fast appointments, transparent pricing and honest advice - qualities that keep customers from Lakenham coming back. Call 07933 900901 to check availability and book your appointment.
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.

Our team brings together years of experience across all makes and models. Whether you drive a ten-year-old hatchback or a current-model premium saloon, you'll receive the same level of care and expertise.

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.
Signs of alternator failure include a battery warning light, dimming headlights, electrical components behaving erratically, and a battery that repeatedly goes flat despite being replaced. We test alternator output as part of our battery diagnostic service.
Overnight battery drain is usually caused by a parasitic draw - an electrical component that stays active when the ignition is off. Common culprits include interior lights, boot lights, aftermarket accessories and faulty control modules. We can diagnose parasitic draw and identify the cause.
