Car Batteries – Romford

A failing car battery is one of the most common causes of breakdown, and it rarely gives much warning.

At London Road Tyres in Romford, we supply and fit car batteries for a wide range of vehicles – quickly, reliably, and at a competitive price.

How to Tell Your Battery Is Failing

• Slow or struggling engine cranking when starting
• The battery warning light appearing on the dashboard
• Electrical systems behaving erratically
• The car failing to start after sitting unused for a few days

Batteries typically last three to five years, though this varies with usage patterns and vehicle type. Cold weather puts extra strain on older batteries, and winter is when failures tend to peak.

Supply & Fit at London Road Tyres

We stock batteries suitable for a range of cars and light commercial vehicles, and can carry out a fit the same day in most cases. Battery replacement on modern vehicles sometimes requires a registration procedure to ensure the vehicle’s management system recognises the new battery – we handle this where required.

A Note on Stop-Start Batteries

Vehicles with start-stop systems require AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) or EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) batteries rather than a standard lead-acid unit. Fitting the wrong type can cause problems with the stop-start system and potentially shorten the battery’s life. We’ll make sure the right battery goes in.
