Replacement Battery - Kiwk/Fast Fit recommendations Edin

Post by jamiey » Tue May 18, 2010 11:21 am

Arrrrghghghgh!

Another dead battery.

This one only went in at the Jan Service but the combination of V cold winter, Baby born in December, on street parking and walking to work, means very little Lotus usage.

Anyone used or can recommend a fast fit stylee outfit in the Edin area where I can just drive in and get a battery fitted without any faff?

Due to the little one, I don't really have much free time so DIY or Ali is a luxury, time wise that I can't really afford.

Thanks in advance.

Can you not just use the kwik fit at the top of you road - the last battery I bought of them had a warranty so when it died because I hadnt used the car for a few weeks they replaced free of charge

I was kinda hoping someone would say that :thumbsup

I'll call them tonight.

So my poor car will stop looking quite so lonely and unloved and I can finally take the wee lad on his first run.

Thanks!

Yeah it hasn't...

This is the root cause: Image

Who has kept me very busy in the evenings and weekends.

Now that summer is finally in the air, the run with him I've been planning up to Tyndrum with lunch at the Real Food Cafe (fish and chips for me, a bottle for him) and back again is achingly close.
