Locally owned and operated in the same location for over 65 years, GV Batteries, (Formerly Marshall Batteries) has long been recognised as the GV’s trusted local partner when it comes to both retail and wholesale battery solutions.
Whether it’s a full fleet solution, single marine grade replacement, or replacing the kids ride-on or motorbike battery, GV Batteries’ commitment to honoring the business’s long-standing reputation remains.
Since the change of ownership back in 2023, business owners, local duo, Tank Ashmore and Pat Parsons have laid down solid foundations, grounded in integrity and backed by a genuine, hands-on approach.
“We pride ourselves on our customers service, customers know they deal directly with the owners when they come to us. That’s what sets us apart, you can come in knowing you will receive efficient, honest advice and an honest price, because the people who own the store run the store. We’re invested in our customer relationships and nine times out of 10, if we haven’t got what you need, we can get it in within 24 hours. That’s actually one of the major reasons for our shift to an independent business model,” explained Pat.
“Moving beyond the constraints of brands and chains, has enabled us to expand our product range to accommodate our customers’ needs,” he said.
With an extensive range in stock, GV Batteries truly are a one stop battery shop for virtually every application, from standard passenger cars and 4WDs to all agricultural equipment including tractors, trucks, lawn mowing equipment, motorcycles, motive batteries for golf carts and mobility scooters and even the kids ride-ons. They also carry a huge range of recreational batteries suitable for caravans, camper trailers, motor homes and a range of off-grid camping equipment; as well as a variety of marine batteries.
Now the regions exclusive home of ACDelco, GV Batteries is also offers free onsite battery testing and fitment via their convenient off-street drive through fitment bays and can dispose of your old batteries via the battery recycling exchange where all proceeds from recycled lead-acid batteries are forwarded to local charities, sporting clubs and events reinforcing their commitment to a community-first approach.
