When it comes time to replace your car battery, you can’t dawdle. We want to get you back on the road as quickly as we can. Read on for more information as to how we can help.
So, when it comes down to it, how do you know if your car battery needs to be replaced? What makes it so obvious? Naturally, it depends on the make, model, and year of your car, and so on— however, there are some universal giveaways for when your ride is in dire need of a new energizer.
The clearest of the hints is that you turn the key in the ignition, and your vehicle is struggling to start. You hear a sound that seems like the engine isn’t turning over, or it’s slow to fire up. More often than not, this is an issue with the battery.
Likewise, you might notice flickering or dimmed lights, a dashboard warning (in the shape of a rectangle with a + and – sign, respectively), electrical malfunctions, or corrosion. As such, it’s very important that you have your battery replaced as soon as possible so that you can be sure you’re driving safely.
If you’re interested in changing your battery out, or you’re just curious to understand what our technicians do, we can walk you through it. It’s a straightforward process that we adhere to strictly and carefully.
Put simply, the battery is changed by parking your car, turning it off, popping the hood, and removing it. Of course, there’s a little more mastery involved than that— first you’ll want to identify the positive and negative terminals before you disconnect and lift them. When the battery itself is removed, these terminals are cleaned prior to the replacement of a new battery.
There’s more to our team than just assisting with battery replacements— of course there is! Here at our dealership, we’re proud to prioritize you. You’ll find that we have a variety of services we can offer, from taking care of a simple dashboard warning light to more involved repairs, like brake pad replacement.
