Mobile mechanic, Birmingham Central
Mobile hybrid and EV battery checks and repairs across Birmingham and the surrounding areas.
Tell us the symptoms — slow to start, clicking, dashboard warnings, or won't start at all.
We visit your home or workplace anywhere in Birmingham and the surrounding areas, so there's no need to arrange a tow.
We test the 12V battery and the charging system to confirm exactly what's wrong.
In most cases the work is completed the same visit, with a fixed-price quote before any work starts.
If it genuinely is the main battery, we'll tell you plainly and talk you through your options.
This is almost always the small 12V battery, not the main hybrid/EV battery. It powers the car's computers and has to "wake up" the rest of the system — if it's weak, the car won't start even though the main battery is fully charged. We test this on-site, and it's usually a much cheaper fix than people expect.
Several popular models have a documented higher rate of 12V battery issues, including the Toyota Yaris, Yaris Cross and Corolla, the Lexus LBX, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kona Electric, and the Kia EV6 and Soul EV. If you drive one of these and your car has been slow to start, it's worth getting the 12V battery checked.
No — in the vast majority of cases the fault is the small 12V battery, which is a fraction of the cost of the main battery. We always test the 12V first before discussing anything more expensive.
Our mobile service focuses on diagnosing and fixing the 12V battery — the cause of most hybrid and EV starting problems. If our testing shows the main battery genuinely needs attention, we'll talk you through the honest options rather than guess.
Call to confirm the soonest available slot. Many battery and starting-fault call-outs can be handled same-day.
