Flat battery questions
Useful answers.
01How do I know if the battery is flat?
Common signs include dim lights, clicking when you try to start, or no response. Other faults can look similar, so describe the symptoms when you call.
02What if the car still will not start?
KYS can discuss recovery to your chosen garage or another agreed destination if roadside assistance does not get it moving.
03Can I send a photo or video?
Yes. WhatsApp can help you share the vehicle, dashboard lights, location pin and a short video of what happens when you try to start it.
04Do you sell or replace batteries?
This page is for jump-start assistance and recovery. Call to explain what you need before assuming a battery replacement is available.
