Battery keeps going flat
A battery that goes flat within a couple of days is either worn out, not getting enough charge from the alternator, or something is drawing current while the car is parked. Mention the battery age and whether it happens only after long stops or during daily use too.

Services that help
-
Battery replacement
A battery swap should include a check of the charging voltage and terminals so the new one does not die for the same reason.
-
Starter and alternator repair
A bad starter shows as a click or slow cranking, a failing alternator as the battery light on the dash and a battery that drains while driving.
-
Auto electrics
An auto electrician traces faults in the wiring, fuses, sensors and control units.
The workshop names the exact cause after looking at the car.

Frequently asked questions
Is it the battery or the alternator?
The workshop tests the battery and checks charging voltage with the engine running. If both look fine, they look for a parasitic drain that empties the battery while parked.
How long does a car battery last?
Usually several years, but short trips and cold winters shorten that. When an old battery keeps weakening, replacing it is normally more sensible than repeated charging.
How much does it cost?
The workshop sets the price. The offer shows the workshop's "from" price; the final price is clear once the car has been looked at. Remondikoda does not set or suggest prices.
Who chooses the workshop?
You do. You see offers with time, price and reviews and choose yourself. Remondikoda does not assign workshops.
