The job
When you already know it’s the battery
Maybe the car has been cranking slowly all week, or it needed a jump yesterday and won’t start again this morning. You can call and ask for a new battery outright. With the year, make and model, we can work out which battery your car needs.
We still check before swapping. The battery gets looked over first, then we try a jump and see how the car takes it. There’s a reason for that. If a faulty alternator or an electrical problem is what keeps draining the battery, a new one would end up flat too, and you’d be back where you started.
When the old battery is to blame, the replacement goes in right where you parked. If something else needs attention, like a tire that looks low, mention it on the same call. One customer’s review covers a battery install and a tire repair.

Middlefield Road or Old Middlefield Way?
Mountain View has a Middlefield Road and an Old Middlefield Way, and they’re different streets. Read us the name on the nearest street sign and give the closest cross street, so we head to the right one.
Nothing has to be moved for a battery swap. A covered space at an apartment complex works, and so does a driveway off Miramonte Avenue. If it’s in a shopping lot off San Antonio Road, tell us which entrance you came in by.
Telling us where you are
- Which Middlefield‘Old Middlefield Way at [cross street], car at the curb, heading [direction].’ Or: ‘Middlefield Road near [cross street].’ The exact name keeps us on the right street.
- Carport space‘[Complex name] on [street], carport space [number], white CR-V.’ Add how a visitor gets in and where you’ll be waiting.
- More than the batteryPut it all in one call: ‘Battery’s dead and the [which] tire looks low, on a [year, make and model].’ Read the size printed on the tire if you can.

Before you call.
I need a new car battery in Mountain View. Who can replace it where my car is?
We can. With SOS Roadside Service, a technician checks at the car in Mountain View that the battery really is the problem, then installs the matching battery recommended for your car wherever you left it. Reach us at (650) 898-3789 from 7:00am to 8:00pm, seven days a week.
I’m sure it’s the battery. Will you still check it?
Yes. We look at the old battery’s age and condition and how the car responds to a jump before swapping it, because a charging fault or a dome light can drain a battery that’s fine, and a new one wouldn’t fix either. If it really is the battery, the replacement goes in on the same visit.
My tire looks low too. Should I mention it?
Yes, mention the tire when you call. Flat tire repair is one of our services too. Tell us which tire and what you see, and read the size off the sidewall if you can.
A real person answers during our hours. After 8:00pm, leave a voicemail and we call you back first thing in the morning.
