Wiggy Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) I’ve just returned from a trip abroad (two months away) and my car battery is completely dead. I’ve always replaced it early before so I’ve never had this problem. Does anyone know of a good battery replacement call-out service? I’m in Klong Toey, Bangkok. It’s a 2016 Honda Civic RS. Thanks in advance. Edited March 3, 2022 by Wiggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TorquayFan Posted March 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2022 Wiggy charge it up ? Or walk down the road, where any Mom and Pop battery shop or chain dealer will set off and fit you a new one immediately.. The price should be around B3-3500 and specify at least 75 ah It's easy M8*. Good luck. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in Klong Toey, Bangkok. Buy a battery charger first, that should get the car started if it had no problems when it was parked, then drive to a battery shop if you really want to replace it. A charge could be all that it needs. Alternatively, as someone else posted, try searching "mobile car battery service Bangkok" then call one of the many options. You could also just call, or go to, any battery shop and ask them. A motorbike taxi would know where to take you. Try phoning the service department of a dealer and ask them if they have a rescue service. Then, when you've sorted it, join Car World Club to avoid being in the same situation in future.

FriendlyFarang Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Usually these shops are about everywhere, just try walking down the street, I think all of them offer to come to your place to change it. They also often put signs with their phone number on lamp posts etc, so maybe just have somebody who can read Thai check the lamp posts near your house. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, Mazda is more likely to be "conning" the original battery suppliers! The manufacturer would soon catch on to never ending, regular battery replacement claims from that dealer. Maybe the dealer sees it as a loss leader to ensure that he gets you into his place every six months? The trade price for a regular supply of batteries that only need to last six months can't be much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorquayFan Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Will/Lou. That Mazda dealer must be a/barmy or b/up to no good. Absolutely no need to change batteries every 6 months. Potty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wiggy Posted March 4, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2022 Thanks for your replies. Very helpful. In the end, I contacted my insurance company (Roojai) as I remember them having a Roadside Assistance service. They sent someone out within 30 minutes to jump start the car. The service was free and you can call them out twice a year. I then drove to Cockpit to have the old battery checked and it was at the end of its life. Got a new GS battery installed for 1,942 baht. Result. Thanks again everyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully discharging a lead acid battery severely and irreparably damages them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
