If you're experiencing issues with starting your car, flickering lights, or a dashboard warning light, just drop in to our Barmera workshop. Your car battery is a crucial component of your vehicle, and at Riverland Auto Repairs, we understand how important it is to keep it in top condition. Without a functional battery, your engine won't start, potentially leaving you stranded. Don’t take risks with your car battery’s health—have it tested regularly by our expert mechanics.
At Riverland Auto Repairs, we stock a range of the most common battery sizes and can order other types or sizes as needed. We carry quality Macht and Repco Batteries, ensuring you have access to top-quality options. Cold weather can significantly affect your battery's performance, so don’t wait for a frosty morning to discover your battery isn’t up to the task. Take advantage of our free driveway testing service for peace of mind.
Car batteries are designed and engineered to last for several years, but they don't always meet their expected lifespan. Several factors can affect your car battery’s longevity, including temperature extremes and short circuits caused by loose terminals. When your car battery needs replacing, Riverland Auto Repairs has you covered with top-quality batteries at affordable prices.
In addition to battery sales and testing, we also offer comprehensive services to check your alternator and starter motor. These components are integral to your vehicle's performance and reliability. Regular checks and maintenance can prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. Our expert mechanics at Riverland Auto Repairs can perform evaluations to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
Does a flat battery use more fuel?
Yes! When your car battery is running flat, the alternator works harder to recharge the battery, and this added load on the engine means it burns more fuel.
Where can I buy a new car battery?
Come in and see us in Barmera at Riverland Auto Repairs! As a Repco Authorised Service Centre, we have access to the highest quality batteries to suit most vehicles.
Can my car battery be recharged?
Yes, in fact the battery is being recharged by the alternator in your car whenever the engine is running. Sometimes this fix isn’t enough, and your battery requires an external recharge. It’s best to ask a professional about this, as you could void the battery warranty by recharging it yourself.
Sometimes external recharging is not the best option because every battery eventually reaches a point in its life where replacement is the only answer to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
Who can test my car battery?
We can! Riverland Auto Repairs can do a battery load test. Phone us or visit the workshop today.
Why choose Riverland Auto Repairs for a battery test?
If you have concerns about your vehicle’s performance, it is wise to get your battery tested at a full service workshop like Riverland Auto Repairs - rather than a parts store - because we take into consideration the whole vehicle and can diagnose any deeper issues.
There is nothing worse than replacing your car battery - only to find the problem lies elsewhere… except maybe being told your battery test is fine with no explanation for your ongoing issues!
Can I fit a battery myself?
The short answer is yes. But modern vehicles are "computers on wheels", so you must follow proper installation procedures to avoid damaging the ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module).
Plus, if the battery gets incorrectly installed, items like the radio, the navigation system and security codes may need to be professionally reset.
Don't wait until you're stuck on the side of the road. Book an appointment today with our expert mechanics at Riverland Auto Repairs in Barmera. We’re here to ensure your vehicle stays in excellent condition, providing reliable and efficient service to keep you on the road.
