Battery Service

What Does My Battery Do?

It's the spark that kicks everything off. When you turn the key or hit start, the battery sends power to the starter to crank your engine. Then the alternator steps in, running your electrical systems and recharging the battery for the next time. But batteries wear out over time due to heat, cold, and age. They all take a toll, breaking down its ability to hold a charge. Even if everything else is fine, a weak battery can leave you stranded. That's why our team recommends regular checks and swapping your battery every 3 to 4 years.

When Do I Need a New Battery?

Wondering when it's time for a new battery? It depends on a lot. How and where you drive, how often you hit the road, and even the weather you face. Short trips, long sit times, and extreme temperatures can all wear down your battery faster. Most last about 3 to 4 years, but habits matter. If your engine takes longer to crank, your lights seem dim, or that battery warning pops up, it's a clear sign. Our team recommends getting your battery tested regularly so you're never caught off guard. Swing by and let us keep you powered up and worry-free.
