    Hello,

    Can anyone recommend somewhere to get a replacement car battery in Galway? its for a Ford Escort if that makes any difference. I know Pitstop on the Headford road would probably do but i always get the impression theyre a bit pricey.

    thanks!!

    Partway, Liosban Ind Est, Tuam Rd Galway near AIB bank...
    Calbro Motor Factors on the Tuam Road as well....
    Just make sure to get one with the same terminals as you own..Just tell them the engine size and they'll give you one that suits :)

    Got a battery changed in Pitstop a few years back, was almost 80E incl labour.

    Surely you could have fitted it yourself. It's one of the easiest things to do.
    There is a shop near Kieran Farell's tyres in ballybrit. I think it's called WD parts or something. A petrol car battery was €50 with a diesel car battery for €70 as far as I can remember
