Car Batteries

Free car battery change in Tenerife, no appointment needed

If you buy your battery from us, we change it for free. No appointment needed: you come in and drive away with the new battery fitted.

1. Choose your battery online or in store. Not sure which one your car needs? We'll find it for you.
2. Come in, no appointment, to Tacoronte or La Guancha, Monday to Friday 9:00-17:00.
3. We change it while you wait. On AGM and EFB Start-Stop batteries we run an advanced diagnostic to register the new battery with the car.

Cars with hard-to-reach batteries: on some very new cars, or where the battery is in an awkward place (for example under the driver's or passenger's seat, which has to be removed completely, with wiring running through), changing it is delicate work and we may not be able to do it in store. If in doubt, send us your car's make, model and year on WhatsApp first and we'll confirm.

We take your old battery and pay you for it when you buy the new one in store. The free change is for cars, Start-Stop included.

Which battery does my car need?

The quickest way is our battery finder by vehicle: choose the make, model and year and you'll see the compatible batteries. You can also send us a photo of your current battery, or your car's make, model and year, on WhatsApp and we'll tell you the exact part number.

When comparing, check four things: the same technology as the original (conventional, EFB or AGM), the size, the polarity (which side the positive terminal is on) and a capacity (Ah) and cranking power (A) the same as or slightly higher than the original.

Xtech, Varta or Tudor: which one?

AGM, EFB or conventional

• Conventional: for cars without Start-Stop.
• EFB: for basic Start-Stop, without regenerative braking.
• AGM: for advanced Start-Stop, regenerative braking and cars with lots of electronics.

The rule: never downgrade the technology. An EFB can be replaced with an AGM, but an AGM can't be replaced with an EFB or a conventional battery. See all our Start-Stop batteries.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to change a car battery?

Nothing, if you buy the battery from us: the change is free, with no appointment, in Tacoronte and La Guancha, Monday to Friday 9:00-17:00. Only on a few cars with very hard-to-reach batteries may we be unable to do it, so ask us first.

What do you do with my old battery?

We take it for recycling and pay you for it when you buy the new one in store. The amount depends on the type and size of the battery.

How much is a car battery in the Canary Islands?

Conventional car batteries range from about €70 to €150 depending on capacity. EFB Start-Stop batteries cost about €100 to €180, and AGM batteries about €150 to €300. All prices in our shop are final, with IGIC and shipping included.

Why does my car battery keep going flat?

The most common causes are age (after 4 or 5 years a battery loses capacity), very short trips that don't give the alternator time to recharge it, the car standing for many days, something left switched on, and heat, which speeds up wear. If a new battery keeps going flat, have the alternator checked.

My battery is dead, what do I do?

If you can get the car started, come to either shop and we'll change it on the spot. If it won't start, we have a mobile battery replacement service in part of Tenerife.

Does the new battery need to be registered?

On many Start-Stop cars, yes: the car needs to know it has a new battery to charge it correctly. When we change an AGM or EFB battery in store, we run an advanced diagnostic and do it for you.

Do you deliver to Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and the other islands?

Yes. We ship from Tenerife to Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro in 24-72 h, with IGIC and shipping included.
