Looking for trade club dealer

chris0147

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if you could help me, I'm looking for a trade club dealer to buy a battery for my car as the battery just went.

The battery I want to get from a trade club exactly like this:




I don't want to buy the battery that don't come with the genuine one, but I want the genuine one with 3-5 years warranty. Most of the local store that I know they will cover the battery for 1 year warranty. It is not right for me to waste my money.

I don't mind to pay £60 for a brand new battery. I don't know where is the trade club dealer is in my local so i can go and buy the new battery. I live in south east of kent which is close to canterbury.

If you know where it is i would be very appreciate it.

thanks in advance.

Trade Club isn't a brand, as such, it is a scheme run by Vauxhall, that garages and mechanics join, so they can obtain additional discounts and special offers, when buying from Vauxhall parts departments.

So the easiest thing for you, is talk to your local garage or repairer, to see if they would obtain a battery for you and pass on some of the saving, as well.

You do know that that is a bog standard 063 battery? Go to your local factor and buy two for your budget.

Probably the same budget battery sold by Halfords and GSF and Europarts. But with a different label.

You can get that brand from Ebay delivered for under £40. Its a cheapy budget battery nothing special.

A quick Google suggests Trade Club batteries may be made by Varta?

OP - there are only a certain number of battery makers that just stick different labels on. I remember going to an Exide battery factoey anf they had stacks of batteries with different labels for different companies they supplied under different brand names. Just buy a 'known' brand and you'll probably end up with the same thing, at a better price. Bosch seem to have a decent reputation?

Check on eurocarparts, often have sales on batteries.
3-5 year warranties on them.

Had one on a Vectra-C, sure enough it was a Varta battery.

As said before, it's just a standard battery with a vauxhall label on it.

If you are looking for "premiuim" I have used Bosch (silver) batteries before and not had any issues.

My Bosche battery has just been replaced. Ive had the car 6 years and it looked pretty filthy 6 years ago.

Bosch silver 063 for £40.
I had a Bosch silver from a 1.2 nova on a 2.0 cavalier for years, so think they're good.

Ah, you've just missed the special offer on at the factors, an 063 is now back to £29.61, last week they were £20.39 (including the VAT).

£20 crikey!
Last battery I bought was £100 after a lot of hunting around.
