Flat batteries in Tilbury
Tilbury is about 27 miles from our base, so if your car has died and you need to be moving within the hour, we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right call. When we are: you get the battery and alternator tested before anything is sold, a replacement fitted from stock if it's genuinely needed, and a fixed price agreed before we set off.
We come out to Tilbury Town station, the parking by Tilbury Fort and the ferry, the residential streets off Dock Road, and out to Chadwell St Mary and East Tilbury.
Battery replacement at home or at work in Tilbury
With the Port of Tilbury and Tilbury2 on the doorstep, we're happy to book a car battery replacement in Tilbury around shift patterns, early or late. We come to the houses on Calcutta Road, Montreal Road and Brennan Road, the streets off Feenan Highway, and the roads by Anchor Fields Park. Because it's a 27-mile trip for us, send the registration first so the correct battery is on the van and the fixed price is agreed before we set off.
Getting to you in Tilbury
Tilbury is about 27 miles from Vanguard Way, on the A127 and then the A13, around 40 minutes on clear roads. Booked swaps are where we make sense. If the car has stopped and you need it going soon, someone nearer may beat us, and we'll say so when you call for a live ETA.
Also covering Chadwell St Mary, East Tilbury and Grays.
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 — Tilbury
Can you come to a car that won't start at Tilbury Town station?
Yes. Give us your registration and where you're parked and we'll come to the car. It's a longer run for us, so we'll give you a real ETA when you call.
Can you fit a new battery to a van in Tilbury?
Yes. Send the registration first so we can confirm we're carrying the right battery for it before we set off.
My dashcam keeps flattening my battery in Tilbury. Do I need a new one?
Not always. A dashcam left in parking mode can drain a healthy battery overnight, so we test before we sell. If it recovers on charge and passes a load test, you need a low-voltage cut-off on the camera rather than a battery. If repeated deep flattening has damaged it, we'll fit the right replacement at your house in Tilbury and show you the test result, so you know it wasn't a guess.
