Winter Maintenance for Car Batteries

Winter Essentials – Car Batteries

Checking the battery of your vehicle is so important with the winter months approaching that it should be your number one priority.

Cold and damp weather can have adverse effects on a car’s battery and has been known to cut its usual (5-year) lifespan short.

What are the signs?

If the battery is starting to struggle when you turn the key in the ignition that could be a sign that your battery is faulty and should be looked at as soon as possible.

What can I do?

You can test the battery yourself if you have the correct equipment, or take the vehicle to a specialist where they can test it for you.

What if I need a new battery?

The average new battery can cost anything from £40 – £100+.

We have a wide selection of used car batteries in brilliant working condition available at both of our York and Edinburgh breakers yards, with our prices significantly cheaper than that of a new battery.

Call Contact Recycling today to see if we have what you’re looking for.

Increment bidding allows Copart to increase your entered bid by one and only one increment in the event your entered bid is tied by a live virtual bidder. If your bid is the highest bid, then your bid will NOT be incremented. Our increments are based on the following table:

Bid Range £Increment £
0 – 101
10 – 505
50 – 10010
100 – 1,00025
1,000 – 5,00050
5,000 – 25,000100
25,000 – 9,940,000250
9,940,000 – 9,999,999.991000

Example 1: You checked the increment bid box and bid £ 15,000. Live auction bid is currently at £ 15,000 (a tie with your bid – unfortunately, it happens). Your internet bid is placed next at £ 15,100 (because you checked the increment bid box). The car sells to you at no more than £ 15,100 or to live auction bidder for £ 15,200 or more.
