Signs you need a new battery, not a jump
A jump that works once and fails by the next morning points to a new battery. So does a battery that clicks even with cables on, or a case that is swollen or leaking. Give us the make, model and year so we quote the right battery.
Davenport winters and car batteries
On a normal January night Davenport drops to 14.0°F (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). The city's record low is -29°F, set on January 18, 2009.
The morning of January 31, 2019, set an all-time low of -33°F at Quad City International Airport. That morning the Davenport airport hit -27°F, Clinton -32°F and Muscatine -31°F.
Battery dead on a highway shoulder
A fully flat battery can leave the hazard lights dark too. That makes a stalled car hard to see on an I-80, I-74 or US 61 shoulder after sunset. If the car died in a live lane, or there has been a crash or an injury, call 911 first. Otherwise stay buckled in with the doors locked, or wait behind the guardrail away from traffic.
Call (563) 208-4670 with the road, your direction and the nearest exit or mile marker, or the street and the town. Add the make, model and year, and we name the battery price and the timing.
Dead battery in a River Drive lot in Davenport
Davenport runs seven free public lots along River Drive, open day and night, first come, first served. Leave a car there more than 24 hours, though, and the city may treat it as abandoned and tow it. The lots also close for special events and floods.
So a car with a dead battery in one should be started or moved within the day. A jump costs from $82, or we fit a new battery on the spot.
What a new car battery costs at the roadside
The battery's size and type set most of the price. A standard battery, an AGM battery for a start-stop car and a hybrid's 12-volt battery all cost different amounts. The hour, the distance and the weather can add to it, and you hear the total before you agree.
What is included
When a jump will not hold, a new battery is brought out and installed where the car is parked. Its size and type set the price, which you get on the call first.

Questions and answers
How much does a car battery replacement cost in the Quad Cities?
We price a roadside battery replacement in the Quad Cities on the call, once we know which battery the car takes. Size and type set most of it: standard, AGM for start-stop cars or a hybrid's 12-volt. Give us the make, model and year, and you hear the full price first.
Will my car be towed if the battery dies in a River Drive lot?

Can a hybrid's 12-volt battery be replaced at the roadside?
Yes, we price and fit a hybrid's 12-volt battery at the roadside in the Quad Cities, as we do standard and AGM batteries. Each type costs a different amount, so tell us the make, model and year. The hour, the distance and the weather can add to the price.
