Car battery test and replacement in Vancouver — where the car is.
A load test on every visit, and a new battery fitted at your Vancouver address when the old one is done. Registered to the car where the manufacturer requires it.
Inspection and load test included on every plan visit. Replacement is not part of the plan — quoted at posted price and fitted on the spot.

Vancouver
Vancouver's mild climate is kind to batteries, so the ones we replace here usually died of sitting, not of cold. Short trips and long parks never fully recharge a battery; the load test at every visit catches the slow decline.
Underground parkades don't fit our vans. Park on a surface stall, the street or a driveway for the visit — we remind you the evening before.
Car battery inspection & replacement · Vancouver
How do I know if my battery needs replacing?
Slow cranking, dimming lights at idle, or a dashboard battery warning. But most batteries fail with no warning, which is why we load-test at every visit and show you the state-of-health number.
How long does a car battery last in Vancouver?
Three to five years in a cold climate like Vancouver, two to three in extreme heat. Short-trip driving shortens it further.
Do you register the new battery?
Yes, on vehicles that need it — many BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW and newer domestic vehicles require the battery to be registered so the charging system treats it correctly.
Can you replace a battery the same day?
In most of Vancouver, yes, if the group size is on the van. Otherwise next day.
Is battery replacement included in the plan?
No — the plan covers the inspection, load test and terminal service at every visit. When the battery is failing we tell you the state-of-health number and quote the replacement at posted price; say yes and it's fitted in the same visit.
Same van, same visit.
Mobile oil change
Vancouver's mild winters mean oil isn't punished by cold starts the way it is on the Prairies, so we follow the manufacturer's longer interval — typically 8,000–12,000 km on full synthetic — rather than a sticker's 5,000 km.
Full synthetic from $117.75 + $20 mobile service fee.Annual maintenance plan
In Vancouver, the plan is calendar-led as much as mileage-led — a visit every six months even when the odometer barely moves, because oil, batteries and tires age by time as well as distance.
$199 per vehicle per year + $20 per visit.Seasonal tire swap
Vancouver doesn't need a winter-tire season the way the Prairies do, so here this visit is mostly a rotation: front to back, pressures set, tread recorded — the thing that makes a set of tires last 80,000 km instead of 50,000 km.
$60 per swap, or included on the $199/year plan.Electric vehicle service
Vancouver has a lot of electric vehicles, and the mild climate means the maintenance story is almost entirely tires and brakes: rotations to even out torque wear, and a brake inspection because regen leaves pads to corrode rather than wear.
Included on the $199/year plan, plus $20 per visit.
