Website ordering and next-day delivery worked; battery fitted well and saved money.
“Halfords wanted £276 fitted so I saved £144”
Reviews show a pattern of inconsistent service. Many customers report successful, quick deliveries, easy website ordering and competitive pricing, and some warranty cases are handled promptly. However, a larger portion of recent reviews flag missed or cancelled deliveries, unresponsive customer contact and instances of incorrect or damaged items. If you consider ordering, check delivery options, keep order and tracking records, and be prepared to follow up persistently if issues arise.

I recently purchased a car battery from The Battery Guys, and I must say that my experience was excellent. The website was easy to navigate, and the ordering process was smooth and hassle-free.
The best part of my shopping experience with The Battery Guys is their quick delivery service. They got the new battery to me in no time at all! Plus, their prices were very competitive compared to other retailers.
What made this purchase even better is that they also sell leisure batteries and mobility batteries as well as offering free advice for their customers making them an affordable one-stop-shop for all your battery needs.
