Battery installation cost

When a jump start won't hold and the battery needs replacing, mobile battery installation covers the labor for $49, with the battery itself quoted separately.

What the $49 covers

The $49 service fee covers the provider testing your battery, removing the old one, and installing the new one at your location. It does not include the battery.

How the battery cost is quoted

Battery prices vary by make, model, and battery type (standard, AGM, etc.), so the battery is quoted for your specific vehicle before it's installed. You see and approve that price before any work happens.

What can add to the cost

Vehicles that require a higher-capacity or specialty battery (some hybrids, trucks, and luxury vehicles) typically have a higher battery cost, which shows up in the battery quote rather than the $49 install fee.

How it compares

Battery replacement costs vary widely by vehicle and battery brand — there's no single market price. Splitting the install labor ($49 flat) from the battery cost (quoted per vehicle) makes it clear exactly what you're paying for and why.

How to book

Choose Battery Installation, share your vehicle details, and review the battery offer along with the $49 install fee before confirming. Pay by card, Cash App Pay, Amazon Pay, bank payment, or Klarna/Afterpay Pay in 4 for eligible customers.
