In Lawrence, plenty of cars live on the street outside triple-deckers, with no garage and often no driveway. When one of those won't start on a cold morning, getting it to a shop means a tow. Replacing the battery at the curb is usually the simpler fix.
What Mobile Battery Replacement Covers
- We come to your home, your work, or wherever the car is parked safely
- Battery, alternator, and parasitic-draw testing before anything is replaced
- The correct battery type for your vehicle, including AGM and EFB for start-stop systems
- Battery registration and coding on vehicles that require it
- 12-volt auxiliary batteries on hybrids and EVs
- Old battery taken away for recycling
Cars parked outside year-round take the full force of winter, and stop-and-go trips on Broadway and through the city's grid of streets rarely give a battery time to recharge. When we arrive, we test the battery and the alternator. A city car that only does short hops can have a perfectly good battery that simply never gets charged back up.
We need a place where it's safe and legal to work, with room to open the hood. During a snow emergency, cars often have to move, so call and tell us where the car is and what the parking situation looks like. The old battery leaves with us for recycling, and anything bigger than a battery goes to our shop at 779 Woburn St in Wilmington.

Lawrence Questions About Mobile Battery Replacement
- Can you change my battery if the car is parked on the street?
- Usually, as long as the spot is legal and safe to work in, with room at the front of the car. If the street is tight or busy, we may ask whether there's a better place nearby.
- My car only does short trips around Lawrence. Is that bad for the battery?
- It can be. Short trips don't give the alternator enough time to recharge it. We test the charging system so you'll know if the driving pattern is part of the problem.
- What happens to my old battery?
- We take it with us for recycling. You don't need to drop it off anywhere.
