With colder temperatures here, battery demand is set to rise. As we all know, winter places extra strain on vehicle batteries, making this one of the busiest periods of the year for replacements.
Factor in that the average vehicle battery lasts around five years, and a large number of cars currently on UK roads are now within the replacement window – meaning increased workshop traffic and sales opportunities over the coming weeks.
To help you prepare, we’ve pulled together a list of some of the UK’s most common vehicles currently on the road, along with the GS battery references most commonly required to service them:
Maintaining good availability of these key references will help you stay ahead of winter demand and minimise missed sales during peak periods.
To place an order, speak to your local GS Yuasa Regional Sales Manager or your Customer Account Administrator.
The finalists have been announced for the Automechanika Birmingham Garage Awards 2026, hosted by the Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation (IAAF) and headline sponsored by LKQ Euro Car Parts.
As the UK transitions from winter into spring, workshops are increasingly dealing with the aftermath of months of harsh road conditions. Cold temperatures, standing water and repeated freeze–thaw cycles leave roads scarred with potholes and uneven surfaces – all of which place additional stress on critical vehicle systems, including brakes.
PACT, the exclusive distributor of TecCom and eparts in the UK and Ireland, has announced a new partnership with global high-performance lubricants and fluids supplier, Motul, to further support digitalisation in the sector.
