Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does Car Battery Installation Take?
Our dedicated team aims to complete a battery installation efficiently, usually within an hour. Factors such as the vehicle make or model may impact this timeframe slightly. We strive to provide fast, reliable service that gets you back on the road with minimal disruption to your day.
During the installation process, we also perform checks to ensure your vehicle's electrical and charging systems are in optimal condition. This comprehensive approach ensures that issues aren't masked by a new battery, offering you genuine peace of mind and prolonged vehicle performance.
What Are the Signs that My Car Battery Needs Replacement?
Watch for signs like slow engine crank, dim headlights, or an illuminated check-engine light. Routine battery tests can also reveal potential issues before they cause inconvenient breakdowns. Our experts can advise when a replacement is necessary.
Additionally, experiencing intermittent power loss, unexplained dashboard warnings, or needing to frequently jump-start your vehicle can be further indicators of a failing battery. We recommend scheduling an inspection at the first sign of trouble to prevent being stranded unexpectedly.
Is Your Battery Installation Covered by Warranty?
Yes! Our installations are covered by our Nice difference.® warranty, which includes 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes last. This helps protect your investment and ensure quality craftsmanship in every service we provide.
Our robust warranty not only covers the battery itself but also our installation services, reflecting our confidence in the workmanship of our technicians. This ensures that you're fully supported, even if unexpected issues arise down the line, giving you the confidence to drive with assurance.
Why Does My Battery Keep Dying?
Several factors such as extreme temperatures or frequent short trips can drain a battery. Our comprehensive inspection includes checks for issues like faulty alternators or parasitic drains to provide an accurate diagnosis.
Additionally, accessories left on when the engine isn't running, such as car chargers and internal lights, can contribute significantly to battery drain. Ensuring these are turned off can prolong your battery life. If the problem persists, our team is here to help diagnose and solve the root issue.
Do You Offer Emergency Battery Services?
While we recommend scheduling appointments, we understand emergencies happen. Contact us, and we will do our best to accommodate urgent battery needs as quickly as possible. Our team is here to assist in times of unexpected battery failure.

FAQs
-
Q. "How long can a car sit before the battery dies?"The battery in your car can die within as little as two weeks when unused. While our cars are more technologically advanced than ever, this comes at a cost. Due to the various gadgets and computer technology manufacturers include in our vehicles, the newest models coming off the line are always on, continually monitoring the car’s systems around the clock.
-
Q. "Does the temperature affect my vehicle's battery?"Hot and cold temperatures can ruin your battery, especially if it’s already weak. Most customers in warm, southern climates don’t realize that hot weather drains their batteries. On the other hand, cold temperatures slow down chemical reactions, which means that your car battery will become sluggish and appear to be far lower than it actually is. Most modern batteries are designed to deliver an abundance of power at what is considered a “cold crank” temperature, but older batteries or batteries which are further into their lifespan may even fail to start your car on a particularly frigid and frosty morning.
-
Q. "Why do car batteries fail?"The answer to this popular question includes many different reasons, ranging from age, corrosion, alternator problems, extreme weather conditions, or the classic case of headlights being left on. We explain why these common problems affect your vehicle’s battery on our auto repair blog.
