Batteries On The Go 🏆 2026
- See all
I cannot speak highly enough of Thomas from Batteries on the Go(BOTG). From the moment he arrived, he took the time to thoroughly explain what he was… Read more
doing with my vehicle, the likely reason for the flat battery and all the options available to me.
What truly impressed me was his honesty and professionalism. After consulting with his supervisor, they made the goodwill decision to replace my battery at absolutely no charge. It genuinely made my weekend and I am incredibly grateful for such an unexpected act of kindness.
My car is not a common make and Thomas went above and beyond by patiently going through the vehicle manual and even watching Youtube videos to ensure everything was done correctly. The job took longer than expected, but he approached it diligently, never rushed and did not charge me for the additional time.
In an industry where trust is everything, BOTG has earned mine completely. It is no surprise they are such a popular and reliable company. Their integrity, customer service and willingness to go the extra mile are second to none.
They have certainly gained a loyal customer in me and I would not hesitate to recommend BOTG to anyone needing battery assistance.
P.s : Taught me how to use a car battery charger if in case I require in the future.

Motorcycle Assist Australia
This is one of those services you hope you never need, but I did need it. And they were great! I was stuck about 70km north of Brisbane with a… Read more
motorbike that would not start. Their call centre operator was super friendly and helpful. Within less than 30 minutes from first talking to them, an assist vehicle was on the way to me with a replacement battery in case it was needed. They sorted me out as fast as I could have hoped for, and a stressful situation was made less so by the service of the call centre and the callout service. Highly Recommend.

faults but would not communicate. Ignition relay checked. No power either. ECU problem was diagnosed on site and would need to be towed. Myself being an electrician systematically checked power sources and found blown main fuse next to relays that were checked. Replaced fuse and car is now working as it should. Gentleman was lucky to have spent 10 minutes looking at car. Very poor service and diagnosis from a qualified mechanic who was not looking interested to help.

APIA Car Insurance

My new secondhand car - bought a year ago from a reputable place in rural Vic - has had a 15cm scratch on the body work all that time and off course… Read more
being on the left body work does not affect the car at all. They averted comprehensive insurance for me last year. Now they won’t accept fire and’s theft. Apia refuse to insure it. It’s on the body work only and is no problem but no Apia won’t insure it. Why did they last year and not now? They did not ask about a scratch last year and who dormant have one or two on a car????? Not this car a we got out had that scratch back then. What hypocrites. Or is it because I’m not paying the substantial comprehensive now? I am so glad we stopped going to them for home insurance too. That got expensive with them so decided not to anymore. Now I will never ever deal with them again. Ever. What a pathetic reason to not give a pensioner assistance with car insurance. Absolutely disgusted in them. And judging by other reviews I see, they’re not popular. Deserves what they get. If you insure with them you might too, please please look around. They’re not top of any popularity list. And why is a proof of claim required below? To stop reviews like mine! Bypass that. Write a note stating why. Proof for me is that I couldn’t get a new insurance policy with them. Pathetic.

brand new parts. Had a long “Test Drive” today and felt so happy with my car. Nathan at Willmot Smash Repair is very professional, down to earth, reliable and trustworthy. He politely explained to me in details how my car would be fixed. The receptionist Summer is very nice and patient. The uber driver booked by Suncorp Insurance told me he knew Willmot is great. Suncorp Insurance is fantastic, quick to respond and easy to communicate. Flawless service. Oh, did I mention they cleaned my car? Now it’s spotless I would give the whole sky’s stars to Suncorp and Willmot Smash Repair if I could✨✨ highly highly recommended.

about any increases that occur with yearly renewals. Was able to negotiate down the fee somewhat after a few years of increases, but note this is all through Allianz as the underwriter. Haven't needed to make a claim yet thankfully, so I don't have any comments on that side yet.
