- Tell you plainly if it's the starter, an earth or the immobiliser
Flat batteries in Burnham-on-Crouch
Burnham is about 29 miles from us by road because there's no crossing over the Crouch nearer than Battlesbridge, so we won't pretend to be round the corner. If your car won't start and you need it moving in the next half hour, a firm based on the Dengie may be quicker, and we'll tell you so. If you can wait, you get a battery that's properly tested first, a replacement fitted from stock if you need one, and a fixed price agreed before we set off.
We come out to Burnham-on-Crouch station car park, the Quay and the parking at Burnham Yacht Harbour, Riverside Park, and the roads out through Southminster and Althorne.
Battery replacement at home or at work in Burnham-on-Crouch
A booked car battery replacement in Burnham-on-Crouch means the car doesn't have to go anywhere. We'll come to the house on Mildmay Road, Foundry Lane or the roads off Maldon Road, or further out along Creeksea Lane. If you're at the Dengie Hundred Sports Centre on Station Road, or at the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club for the day, meet us in the car park with the keys and we'll get on with it. We test first, fit the battery that matches your registration, and take the old one away.
Getting to you in Burnham-on-Crouch
Burnham is about 29 miles by road because we have to go round the Crouch, with the B1012 and B1010 for the last stretch: about 50 to 55 minutes on clear roads. That's why booked swaps suit it best. If your car is stuck right now, a Dengie firm may reach you first; ring us and you'll get a live ETA regardless.
Also covering Southminster, Althorne, Latchingdon and the rest of the Dengie peninsula.
What it costs
A fixed price before we set off, not on arrival. WhatsApp your registration and you'll get the real figure for your car straight back.
Car battery questions — Burnham-on-Crouch
My car's been left at the marina for weeks and won't start — can you help?
Yes. A car that's stood a long time has often just gone flat rather than failed, so we test it before recommending anything. If it will hold a charge, you don't need a new battery and we'll say so.
How soon can you get to Burnham?
Ring us and we'll tell you honestly. It's about 29 miles and roughly 50 minutes' drive in normal traffic, before we've even finished the job we're on — so you'll get a real ETA, not a hopeful one.
Can you bring a battery out to Burnham and fit it, rather than me buying one from a parts shop?
Yes, and on newer cars it's often worth it. Many batteries now sit under trim panels or in the boot, and stop/start cars need the new AGM or EFB battery registered to the car, which a DIY swap usually skips. We bring the right battery for your registration, test the alternator, fit and code it, and take the old one for recycling. For Burnham it's a booked visit with a fixed price agreed first.
