Why Your Vehicle Needs a Battery Replacement
Car batteries are wearable items and should be replaced when they reach the end of their lifespan. Most car batteries last about three to five years, depending on driving habits and the climate. Extreme hot or cold weather can impact battery performance and lifespan, so it's important to practice good habits like parking in the shade in summer and a protected area in the winter. If you notice any of the following symptoms, you should schedule an appointment with our Service Center to check the battery:
- Slow to start
- Frequently needing jumpstarts
- Bad smell
- Bulging battery case
- Dim or flickering lights
About Our Battery Services
Battery issues can manifest with similar symptoms as alternator problems. The battery and alternator work together to provide your vehicle's electrical power to start the engine and run electrical components. Our technicians will test the battery to ensure it is holding the correct charge and pinpoint the cause of any electrical troubles you may be experiencing. We recommend seasonal maintenance for car batteries, like cleaning the terminals and checking the charge to ensure the battery stays in good health for as long as possible.
