Why Battery Replacement is Essential
A failing battery can leave you stranded at the worst possible moment. Over time, batteries lose their ability to hold a charge due to age, extreme temperatures, or frequent short trips. It may be time for a replacement if you notice slow engine cranking, dim headlights, or warning lights on your dashboard. At Malling Repair Service, we offer a wide selection of high-performance car batteries to keep your vehicle running efficiently. Our team of experts will conduct a thorough battery health check, ensuring that your car’s electrical system remains in optimal condition.
A weak battery can also strain your alternator, leading to further issues with your vehicle’s power system. You can avoid costly repairs and unexpected breakdowns by replacing your battery before it completely fails. Whether your car needs a standard lead-acid battery or an advanced AGM battery, we have the right solution to meet your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a faulty battery cause a car not to start?
Yes. A weak or dead battery is the top reason a car won’t crank. If the voltage drops too low, the car simply can’t fire up.
How to tell if it's a dead battery or starter?
If lights work but the engine won’t turn, it may be the starter. If everything feels dim or slow, it’s usually the battery. We test both in minutes.
What do I do if my car won't start with a dead battery?
If the battery is gone, you’ll need a new one. Just visit our Maidstone workshop — we’ll test it and fit a fresh battery right away.
What is the first thing to check when a car won't start?
Check the battery. It’s the number one reason cars stop starting. We can check it for you on arrival.
How much should it cost to have a car battery replaced?
It depends on your car and battery size. Most drivers pay between £70–£180 including fitting, based on vehicle type.
How much will a mechanic charge for a new battery?
A garage normally charges for the battery + fitting. At Malling Repair Service, we tell you the full price before we touch the car.
What kills a car battery the most?
Cold weather, short trips, leaving lights on, and weak alternators drain batteries fast.
Do car batteries give warning before dying?
Yes, slow cranking, dim lights, clicking noises, and random warning lights are signs it’s on the way out.
