Why PAD beats the chains

£79. Mobile. Evenings & weekends.
Fixed garages can not do that.

National chains are rolling out Aviloo battery testing at fixed garages. Same certificate, but you drive to them during business hours and wait. PAD comes to you at a time that suits you, for the same price.

Fixed Garage
  • Drive to a centre
  • Monday–Friday business hours
  • Drop car, wait or come back
  • Selected centres only — may not be near you
  • Can't test at seller's address (pre-purchase)
PAD Pontypridd
  • PAD comes to your address
  • Evenings and weekends
  • Test done in 20 minutes, no waiting
  • South Wales coverage — 60 mile radius
  • Test at seller's address before you buy
Same certificate. Different experience.

PAD and the national chains use the same Aviloo test, the same TÜV-certified certificate. The difference is everything around it. PAD is a specialist, not a tyre centre offering battery tests as a sideline.

Common questions

Pricing questions.

PAD is a one-person, low-overhead, evenings-and-weekends operation — not a franchise with showroom overheads to pay for. The equipment and certification standard are the same (Aviloo or Generational certified). What you're not paying for is expensive retail premises. What you're not paying for is expensive retail premises. £79 is the genuine cost.
You don't pay. If the vehicle isn't compatible with the Aviloo system despite pre-checks, or a fault prevents the test running, PAD doesn't charge. You get that commitment in writing when you book.
Yes — card, bank transfer, or cash. Cards processed via Square on-site, bank transfer links sent if preferred. No deposit at booking.
For garages and fleet operators doing more than 3 tests per week, PAD offers fleet pricing. WhatsApp us with your approximate volume and we'll send a tariff.
