🧪 Free Battery Health Check in York

Your car’s battery is at the heart of everything — from starting the engine to powering lights, electronics, infotainment systems, and more. Over time, batteries naturally degrade, especially with frequent short trips, cold weather, or age.

At Blacksmiths Garage, we offer a free battery health check in York, which includes:

• Voltage and charge level test
• Load testing under operating conditions
• Visual inspection for leaks, corrosion or damage
• Charging system check (alternator performance)
• Report with clear pass/fail result and advice

This service is quick, often completed while you wait, and gives you peace of mind — especially before winter or long journeys.

🔄 Car Battery Replacement in York, North Yorkshire

If your battery fails the test or is approaching the end of its lifespan, we offer professional battery replacement using high-quality, warranty-backed batteries from trusted brands. We stock a wide range of batteries suitable for:

• Standard lead-acid batteries
