Battery Service
Do you live in Montréal, Québec or another urban centre? We test your battery preventively at home, at work, or even on the roadside. If necessary, we can also change it on the spot. This benefit is in addition to battery boosting, available anywhere in the province.
How does it work?
Battery Service is a specialized team from our Roadside Assistance network. Aboard their mobile unit, our Battery Service patrollers drive to where your vehicle is. They can do 3 things for you: boost, check, and replace your battery. You don’t even need to leave your home or workplace!
Benefits and conditions
Is your battery dead? A patroller will come to your vehicle to recharge your battery. A boost counts as one of your Roadside Assistance service calls.
Want to know if your battery is at risk of failure? A patroller will come and assess the condition of your battery and charging system (starter and alternator). You will even receive a detailed report by email. This test counts as one of your Roadside Assistance service calls.
Does your battery need to be replaced? A patroller can install a CAA Battery for you immediately.1 You’ll have to pay for the battery, but it won’t count as a Roadside Assistance service call,2 even if you originally called for a boost or test.
1. Some vehicles are not eligible for roadside Battery Service because their battery is not easily accessible, because the procedure is complex, or because it would risk deprogramming the vehicle’s onboard computer. However, other options are available. Call us for further information.
2. The purchase price, before taxes, includes battery and charging system testing, battery installation, and a 6-year national warranty.
