Battery Services and Maintenance
Learn about our services to extend the useful life of your vehicle's battery
Our dealership offers a range of exceptional services designed to improve the performance of your vehicle's battery. Routine battery services are critical for extending the battery's lifespan and improving its reliability. This is especially true if you live in an area where the temperatures drop below freezing during the winter.
Routine Battery Care
Prevent the most common issues by bringing your battery in for routine maintenance and service checks. Regular service will not only improve the overall performance of your battery, but also positively affect your engine performance as well. The service check gives our technician a chance to check the battery's charge. We also clean the terminals to prevent or remove any corrosion. To ensure the best performance, we might reset the electrical systems if your vehicle has this feature.
Battery Maintenance and Servicing
Maintained batteries provide you with reliable starting power, and this supports the engine's performance and longevity. The proper servicing schedule should be determined by a qualified mechanic. The service should include testing the charging capacity of the battery. Cleaning the posts is much cheaper than replacing the battery. You can also have the battery checked for signs of disrepair and corrosion. Corroded terminals can prevent the charge signal from reaching the battery.
Service checks are necessary to identify any problems long before they cause more expensive issues from developing. Prevent failure, and ensure the best battery performance through keeping up your regular maintenance schedule. These service checks will enable the technician to detect issues or recommend a replacement unit at the most appropriate time. This will enable your vehicle to start smoothly even during the most extreme temperatures.
Common Battery Problems
Identifying the most common battery problems is critical when scheduling service and maintenance visits. You should know the most common signs of a problem to get the battery checked as soon as possible. This often includes corrosion on the battery cables. The corrosion can impair the starting system of your vehicle. Cleaning the corrosion from the posts clears up a problem before it causes damage to the battery terminals.
There are many other common battery problems to inspect during these service checks, and this includes leaks. If there is fluid leaking from your battery, you should have the unit replaced as soon as possible. You might also need to have the charge level and voltage output on your battery tested periodically. This will ensure that your starting system is reliable, and this is an important task to complete before the hottest or coldest months of the year.
Healthy Batteries
Healthy batteries will ensure a consistent charge at a stable voltage. Weak batteries can reduce your vehicle's performance because they are unable to hold a full charge. These batteries might need to be replaced. Once the new battery is properly installed, the starting system will improve, and this reduces additional strain on your electrical system. If you have a modern system, specialized work might be necessary for maintaining or resetting your battery after it's been replaced. For example, the sensors might need adjustments, or the onboard computer system could need specific work done. Problems can develop if these steps aren't taken, and this includes things like warning light flashing, inaccurate readings and reduced performance.
