K Power ResQ specialises in on-site battery assistance

After a month-long vacation, you head to your car, ready to take on your first day back at work. You insert the key and crank the engine, but nothing happens. You try your luck a few more times but to no avail. You suspect the battery is dead, but you just replaced it before you left the country.

Calling a tow truck would be a waste of time and money since you can't be certain where the problem lies. And with half an hour left till you have to be in the office, you start to panic.

K Power to the ResQ

K Power ResQ specialises in on-site battery assistance. One call to its hotline and the K Power breakdown recovery department will despatch a team that arrives on-site within the hour.

Before K Power technicians head out, they will ask a series of questions over the phone regarding the broken down car. This is done to help narrow down and identify the problem, it also allows them to get a clearer picture of the problem and know what to expect when they arrive.

Upon arrival, K Power technicians will conduct a series of checks to further narrow down and help to identify the problem. They will inspect the car's battery, alternator and starter; areas that are more likely to be the cause of the problem.

In the unfortunate event your car needs a tow, K Power technicians will recommend a workshop and towing service based on their professional experience. The decision, however, is entirely yours to make.

It is worth noting that if the problem is found to originate from something other than the battery, K Power will charge a minimal fee of $30 to cover its transport costs.

Expert in all things battery related

The company doesn't just offer on-site battery assistance services though, it is also an expert in all things battery related. Need a new battery? Head down to K Power for its range of batteries.

This includes K Power batteries, which are imported from South Korea, Amaron, as well as Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB) and Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries for vehicles with Auto Start/Stop features (these cars require different batteries from conventional ones).

Every one of K Power's batteries comes with a one-year warranty, this includes its 24/7 roadside battery assistance service.

Keeping the customer's needs in mind

Most workshops do not attach their hotline numbers directly onto the batteries they sell. It doesn't seem like a big deal but when the need arises, it is definitely a lifesaver. Also, most workshops in Singapore aren't open 24 hours a day. 

K Power saw this as an opportunity and seized it. It places stickers, which contain its hotline number, onto every one of its batteries for the convenience of its customers.

The company also offers its 24/7 rescue services to customers who have bought any one of its batteries and called the K Power ResQ hotline. This aftersales service, however, only applies during the one-year warranty period.

The K Power ResQ breakdown recovery department is a recent addition to the company and currently has two vehicles on the roads, it plans to roll out another one next year.

The company's service-oriented technicians go above and beyond what is expected of them and provide value-added services like workshop recommendations and automotive advice. K Power also assures us that its staff will not conduct any hard selling or ask you to change any parts unnecessarily.

Plans for the future

K Power ResQ has only been in the industry for a year and already has plans to expand its operations by next year. It aims to collaborate with and handle all battery related aftersales services for commercial fleets, used car dealers, parallel importers, car rental firms and garages come 2017.
