The small battery that makes a Tesla look dead
Mobile Tesla 12V battery service in Ybor City: we confirm your low-voltage battery type by VIN, open a dead car with external power, and replace the 12-volt battery in your garage or lot. Call (813) 568-9904 or text the year, model and VIN.
Where we work on Teslas in Ybor City
In Ybor City, a Tesla that goes dark in a deck near Seventh Avenue, Centro Ybor and the Ybor parking garages cannot be rolled out of its space without power. We bring external power to open the frunk, replace the 12-volt battery in the stall, and confirm the car wakes and unlocks before we leave.
Tesla calls in Ybor City come from the same crew that covers Tampa, Seminole Heights and South Tampa.

Questions we get
Do you replace Tesla 12V batteries in Ybor City?
Yes, on Teslas with the 12-volt lead-acid battery: Model S and X through 2020 and earlier Model 3 and Model Y. We come to you in Ybor City, FL. Call (813) 568-9904.
My Tesla has the 16-volt lithium battery. Can you replace it?
Those are Tesla parts built to last much longer than the old 12-volt. If the VIN shows a lithium low-voltage battery, we tell you before we come out, and in most cases Tesla Service is the right route.
How do I know which low-voltage battery my Tesla has?
On the touchscreen, go to Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information. Or send us the VIN and we check.
My Tesla is dead in a Ybor City garage. What do I do?
Leave it where it is and call us with the location and VIN. With external power we can open the frunk and, on 12-volt cars, replace the battery right there.
Do you work on the high-voltage battery or Cybertruck?
No. We do not service the drive pack, and Cybertruck's 48-volt system is a Tesla Service job.
