Mobile battery replacement in the City of Tampa

If your car won't start anywhere inside the City of Tampa, call or text. We drive to it, including the garages downtown and in Westshore, test the battery and charging system, and put in the right Interstate battery on the spot. Open around the clock, same price at night.

The city runs on parking garages

A lot of our Tampa calls start with "I'm on level 5." Downtown towers, the Channel District, Water Street, the garages around the arena and the convention center, Westshore Plaza, International Plaza, the hospital garages at TGH and St. Joseph's. Garages are fine for us. We just need the name, the level, and roughly where you are relative to the elevator or the stairs. Ceiling clearance matters for some garages, so mention it if it's a tight one.

Street parking is fine too. Hyde Park, SoHo, Tampa Heights, the curbs around Armature Works. We'll park as close as we safely can and keep the lane clear.

Why Tampa batteries quit

Two things, mostly. Heat, and short trips.

Tampa traffic is stop-and-go. Dale Mabry, Kennedy, Hillsborough Avenue, the Howard Frankland at rush hour. The engine bay gets very hot with the A/C on high, and the battery bakes. Then a lot of in-town trips are short. Five minutes to Publix, ten minutes to the office. That isn't enough driving to put back what starting the car took out. Months of that and the battery's tired before its time. Short trips and your battery explains why.

Neighborhoods we're in a lot

• South Tampa: Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, Bayshore, Davis Islands, Ballast Point
• Ybor City: late nights, tight lots, the Centro Ybor garage
• Seminole Heights: bungalows, curbs, older cars and newer EVs
• Downtown and the Channel District: garages, residential towers, Sparkman Wharf
• Westshore and the airport area: offices, hotels, rental returns, TPA
• North Tampa and USF: apartments along Fowler, Fletcher and Bruce B. Downs
• East Tampa and the Port area: warehouses, work trucks, early shifts

Town 'n' Country and Carrollwood aren't technically inside city limits, but most people think of them as Tampa. We cover them either way.

The airport

Coming home from a trip to a dead car at TPA is one of the most common calls we get. A week in the economy garage in summer heat, plus a battery that was already getting old, and it just won't crank. Tell us the garage, level and row. If you're about to leave for a long trip, leaving your car parked for weeks has tips.

Game nights and concerts

Raymond James, the arena downtown, the amphitheater out by the fairgrounds. Big events mean thousands of cars sitting in hot lots for hours, plus people leaving the radio and lights on while they tailgate. We get calls after almost every big event. Tell us which lot.

What we bring

Interstate batteries matched to your car. Standard flooded for most older cars and trucks, EFB or AGM for start-stop and many newer models. The car battery replacement page has the full process. Prices has the ranges.
