Skoda battery died in JVT – any mobile fitters that actually do the BMS reset?
Morning everyone. Came out to my 2019 Octavia this morning and it was completely dead. Just a click, then nothing. I'm in Jumeirah Village Triangle and I'm really trying to avoid the hassle of getting it towed somewhere. I've found a few mobile battery services that cover this area, like BatteryGuru and EuroSwift Auto Services, which both offer onsite replacement in about 15-30 minutes and say they can handle computer resets for start-stop cars . The thing is, I've been reading that with VW Group cars like Skoda, you absolutely have to do the battery registration or BMS reset after fitting a new one; otherwise, the Battery Management System doesn't know it's a new battery and can overcharge or undercharge it, which just kills it faster . I've even heard that you can damage the BMS sensor by jumping it incorrectly . So I'm really looking for an Affordable Skoda battery replacement in Jumeirah Village Triangle where the technician actually uses a scan tool to register the new battery, not just drops it in and calls it a day. Has anyone here used a mobile service in JVT that they can confirm actually does the BMS reset properly?
