A Quick Battery Inspection

The general rule of thumb is to swap out your battery every three years. If you don't know how long your current battery has run, head over to our service center for an inspection. We will test your current battery and make sure it has the power that you can rely on. Driving habits and intense weather can seriously affect your battery, which we can test for.

Common Warning Signs

Customers can also keep a lookout for a ton of warning signs when dealing with a worn-down battery. This includes dimming headlights and a ticking noise when trying to start your car. In fact, if your vehicle simply takes longer to start, it could be a sign of a dying battery. You should also look out for any unusual lights that come up on the dash.
