Car battery replacement in Motor City

Motor City was built around the Dubai Autodrome, and it shows in the cars. Daily hatchbacks parked under the Uptown apartment blocks share the neighbourhood with weekend sports cars and track-day projects in Green Community garages. The two kinds of car lose their batteries in different ways.

The short answer

Yes. Arjan Battery does car battery replacement in Motor City from our base in Arjan, just across Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. A technician comes to your Uptown Motor City basement, Green Community driveway or the Autodrome car park, tests the battery and alternator, and fits the right battery on the spot. We are open 24 hours, and arrival is usually 20 to 35 minutes.

Where we are usually called in Motor City

  • Dubai Autodrome
  • Kartdrome
  • Uptown Motor City
  • Green Community Motor City
  • First Avenue Mall
  • Park Inn by Radisson Dubai Motor City

Parking and access in Motor City

The low-rise blocks of Uptown Motor City have basement parking for residents and street bays outside for visitors. Green Community has villas and townhouses with garages and driveways, plus terraced apartments with basement parking. Street bays and driveways let the van stop beside the car. For a basement, send the block name and bay number.

How the van reaches Motor City

From Arjan the van joins Umm Suqeim Street (D63), crosses over Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), where the road becomes Al Qudra Road, and takes the Motor City exit. Hessa Street (D61) is the second way in, on the Dubai Sports City side.

Two kinds of Motor City car, two kinds of battery failure

The daily driver

  • Short hops to First Avenue Mall and the nursery leave the battery partly charged most of the week.
  • Usually a flooded or EFB battery in a JIS or DIN size under the bonnet.
  • It gives warning: a slower crank on hot afternoons for a week or two before it quits.
  • The fix is a test and, if it fails, a like-for-like replacement at the bay.

The weekend or track car

  • It sits for weeks while the alarm, tracker and control units draw a small current the whole time.
  • Often an AGM battery, sometimes mounted in the boot or behind a trim panel.
  • It gives no warning: fine last month, completely flat on the morning of the track day.
  • The fix starts with a recharge and a proper test. Many of these batteries are empty, not finished.

What sitting does to a performance car battery

A battery that goes flat and stays flat for days loses some capacity for good, because hard sulphate crystals form on the plates. One deep discharge is usually survivable. Three or four over a summer are not. That is why a car driven hard at the Autodrome once a month can need a battery sooner than a taxi that never stops.

Modified cars add to the load. Aftermarket audio, trackers and dashcams in parking mode all draw current with the engine off. If a battery that tests healthy keeps going flat, something is draining it, and that needs tracing in a workshop. We can book that for you through the same WhatsApp number, with pickup from Motor City.

Words the technician will use

Resting voltage
The voltage of a battery that has not been charged or loaded for a while. About 12.6V is full, 12.2V is half, under 12.0V is discharged.
CCA
Cold-cranking amps: how much current the battery can deliver to the starter. The tester compares the measured figure with the rating on the label.
Sulphation
Crystals that build up on the plates of a battery left discharged. It is the usual reason a stored car's battery will not hold charge.
Parasitic drain
Current drawn while the car is switched off. A little is normal; too much empties a good battery in days.
Battery maintainer
A small mains charger left connected to a stored car. It keeps the battery topped up so it does not sulphate between drives.

Think twice before jump-starting from a friend's car

A reversed clamp can blow main fuses or damage control units, and on cars with the battery in the boot the correct jump points are usually under the bonnet, not on the battery. If you are not sure where they are, leave the leads alone and wait for the technician, who does this many times a day.

Three ways we get you moving again

Every callout starts with a test, because plenty of the cars we are called to do not need a new battery at all.

Jump start

A flat battery after lights left on or a week parked at the airport. We boost it with a protected booster pack, then check it will start again tomorrow.

  • Safe for start-stop and hybrid cars
  • Charging system checked after the start
  • No towing, no workshop

Battery testing

Slow crank, dim lights or a battery warning on the dash. We read resting voltage, cranking health and alternator output, and show you the numbers.

  • Voltage, cold-cranking health and charging output
  • Printed or WhatsApp result
  • We say so if the battery is fine

What drivers around Arjan say

  • HassanArjan, Nissan Patrol

    The Patrol would not start in the tower basement before work. The technician found the bay from the pin and level number I sent, tested the old battery and showed me the reading before changing it. He took the old one away with him.

  • JamesMotor City, Volkswagen Tiguan

    My Tiguan has start-stop, so I asked if it needed an AGM battery. He checked the one fitted, confirmed it was AGM and fitted the same type, then coded it with a scan tool. Clear explanation of what he was doing at each step.

  • LaylaJVC, Kia Sportage

    I thought the battery was finished because the car was slow to start. He tested the battery and the alternator and said the battery still had life in it and only needed a proper charge. He did not try to sell me a new one.

    Battery testing

  • MuhammadAl Barsha South, Toyota Corolla

    I left the interior light on overnight. I sent my location on WhatsApp early in the morning and the car was running again before I had to leave for work. He told me to drive it for a while so the battery could recharge.

    Jump start

  • NouraDubai Hills, Lexus ES 350

    The price was confirmed on WhatsApp before he set off and the invoice showed the same amount. The battery was changed in our driveway, and the radio and clock settings were still there afterwards.

  • OmarArjan, Mitsubishi Pajero

    The battery gave up late on a Friday night after dinner. I did not expect anyone to answer, but they replied on WhatsApp and a technician came to the building car park. I paid with Tabby.

    Battery replacement

  • SarahStudio City, Mazda CX-5

    My car had been parked for three weeks while I was travelling and it was completely flat. The technician jump-started it, then checked the charging voltage with the engine running to make sure the alternator was doing its job.

    Jump start

  • AaravDubai Science Park, Hyundai Tucson
    3 months ago
    The car would not start in the office car park at lunchtime. He replaced the battery while I went back to my desk and sent me a photo of the charging reading when he was done. The invoice has the warranty period written on it.

    Battery replacement

  • MaricelSports City, Nissan Sunny
    10 days ago
    My car did not start after my night shift. The technician jump-started it and tested the battery. He said it was weak and would probably need changing soon, but he left the decision to me.

Car battery replacement in Motor City: common questions

Not answered here? Ask on WhatsApp. A person replies, at any hour.

Can you change a battery in an Uptown Motor City basement?

Yes. Tell us the block name and your bay number and let the guard know. If the van cannot go down the ramp, the technician parks on the street and carries the battery and tools to the car. The test and fitting are done at your bay.

My weekend car has been parked for a month in Green Community and is dead. Do I need a new battery?

Not always. A month of standby drain can empty a healthy battery. The technician jump-starts the car, then tests cranking health and charging. If the battery recovers, you keep it and we suggest a maintainer. If it has lost capacity, we fit a new one there.

Can you come to the Dubai Autodrome car park?

Yes, to the public car parks. Send a pin and say which entrance you are near. The technician comes over from Arjan by Umm Suqeim Street and Al Qudra Road, tests the battery and jump-starts the car or replaces the battery where it is parked.

Do you stock AGM batteries for performance cars?

Yes. We carry AGM batteries from brands such as Varta, Bosch and Exide in the common DIN sizes. Fitment varies a lot between models, so we check the battery fitted to your car, or the registration card, before the technician sets off. A car built with AGM gets AGM again.
