Battery replacement at your location
Need a new battery but the car won't start?
A failed battery can leave your car or van sitting on the driveway, at work, in a car park or at the roadside. You should not have to arrange a tow simply to get a replacement battery fitted.
FTS provides a mobile car battery replacement service in Dublin. Tell us what vehicle you have and where it is, and we can discuss the replacement battery required, availability and price.
If a replacement can be carried out at your location, the battery can be supplied and fitted there.
Call about a replacement battery →When you may need us
Car battery problems can happen almost anywhere
The important information when you call is what vehicle you have, where it is and what happens when you try to start it.
Battery Fails at Work
A battery problem at the end of the working day can leave the vehicle unable to start. FTS can discuss mobile assistance at your location.
Stranded in a Car Park
Tell us exactly where the vehicle is and whether there are barriers, height restrictions or other access issues.
Slow Starting
If the engine has become noticeably slower to turn over, the battery may need attention before the vehicle eventually refuses to start.
Repeated Flat Battery
If you have repeatedly needed help starting the vehicle, tell us what has been happening when you call.
Van Battery Problems
FTS can also help with battery replacement enquiries for vans. Have the registration, make and model ready.
Before you call
Your registration number helps us identify the vehicle.
Different vehicles can require different batteries, so it is useful to have the correct vehicle information ready rather than guessing which battery you need.
Give FTS the registration number, make and model when you call. Also tell us where the vehicle is and what happens when you try to start it.
Have these details ready
- Vehicle registration number
- Vehicle make and model
- Your current location
- Whether the vehicle starts at all
- What happens when you turn the key or press start
- Any dashboard warning lights you have noticed
- Any access restrictions around the vehicle
Battery warning signs
Don't wait until the car refuses to start
Starting problems can have different causes, but there are several signs that make it worth having the battery checked rather than waiting until you are stranded.
- The engine is turning over more slowly than usual
- The vehicle is becoming difficult to start
- The battery keeps going flat
- You have recently needed help starting the vehicle
- A battery or charging warning has appeared
- The vehicle will not start at all
Not every starting problem is the battery
A vehicle that will not start can have a battery problem, but there can also be other causes. Tell FTS exactly what the vehicle is doing rather than assuming that a new battery will automatically solve the problem.
Flat battery or failed battery?
Jump start or replacement battery?
A vehicle that will not start does not automatically need a new battery. What happens next depends on the condition of the battery and the reason the vehicle will not start.
Jump Start Assistance
If the battery is simply flat, a jump start may be enough to get the vehicle started again.
This can happen after lights or electrical equipment have been left on, or when a vehicle has been sitting unused.
Battery Replacement
If the battery itself has failed or is no longer doing its job properly, replacing it may be the appropriate next step.
Tell us about any previous starting problems or recent jump starts when you call.
Mobile battery fitting
At home, at work or where the vehicle has stopped
When a battery fails, getting the vehicle to a garage can become part of the problem. A mobile battery service brings the assistance to the vehicle instead.
Tell us where you are when you call. This could be your home, workplace, a car park or another accessible location in Dublin.
If the problem cannot be resolved as a battery replacement at the vehicle's location, FTS also provides Roadside Assistance Dublin and Breakdown Recovery Dublin .

More than a battery problem?
FTS can still help if the vehicle cannot continue.
