ABOUT VEHICLE BATTERY INSPECTION & REPLACEMENT
How to Tell Your Battery Needs Replacement?
Although there are a number of parts that help start your vehicle such as the alternator and engine starter, if your vehicle won't start, chances are your car battery needs replacement over any other component. If you park your car for days or weeks at a time, disconnecting the battery is common practice. The engine in your vehicle should turn over with ease but will show difficulties if the battery is under-performing. Your headlights may be dim or barely working while you hear clicking noises coming from the starter motor when trying to start your car. With so many components under the hood to fire up the engine, find out if a car battery replacement will get you going.
Schedule a Battery Inspection If You Experience:
1. Longer than normal start time.
2. Check engine light comes on.
3. Corrosion on battery posts.
4. Swollen battery case.
When Should a Car Battery Be Replaced?
Car battery replacement is suggested every 3 - 5 years. Just as a routine oil change, brake service and tire rotation, car battery replacement is a routine maintenance for your vehicle. If your battery has drained its charge, it is possible to recharge a healthy battery. When it begins to lose charge, you may find your engine turning over slowly, a repeated ticking sound when you turn the key or nothing at all. Your car battery doesn’t just start your car, it regulates your vehicles computer and entire electrical system.
Can I Recharge My Battery Or Does It Need Replacement?
Recharging a dead battery versus new battery replacement may be possible depending on whether you've left the vehicle sitting for some time or forgot to turn the lights off (older model vehicles of course). Whether you need to replace your car battery or recharge it depends on the battery's condition and the underlying issue causing it to lose charge. If your battery is relatively new and the issue is a result of leaving your lights on or some other temporary drain, you can usually recharge it. A car battery charger can be used to replenish the charge. Whether you need to replace or recharge a depleted battery can be determined by inspecting your charging system. If you experience any of the following symptoms with your battery, schedule a visit to inspect whether your car battery needs a replacement or it can be recharged.
WHAT DOES OUR BATTERY SERVICE INCLUDE?
We provide several battery replacement services for cars, trucks and SUV's including battery inspection, replacement and recharge.
Battery diagnostic testing: W will first test the old battery to determine if it is indeed faulty and needs to be replaced.
Removal of the old battery: Once it is determined that the battery needs to be replaced, our mechanic will remove the old battery from the car.
Battery testing: Finally, our mechanic will test the new battery to ensure that it is functioning properly and that the car is starting up as expected.
In some cases, additional work may be required, such as replacing damaged battery cables or fixing issues with the car's charging system. However, these steps are generally not part of a routine battery replacement service.
Cleaning battery posts and terminals: We will then clean the battery cables and terminals, removing any corrosion or debris that may have accumulated.
Installation of the new battery: The new battery will be installed in the car, and the cables and terminals will be reconnected.
It's important to note that a discharged battery should be charged slowly using a proper battery charger. Jump-starting your vehicle frequently without addressing the underlying issue can cause damage to the alternator or other electrical components. If you're unsure about the battery's condition, it's advisable to have it tested by our mechanic. We can determine whether recharging is sufficient or if a car replacement battery is necessary.
