Frequently Asked Questions
What Signs Indicate I Need a New Car Battery?
A few indicators suggest that your car battery might need replacing, such as slow engine crank, dimming headlights, or the battery light appearing on your dashboard. If you start hearing strange noises or notice electrical issues, it’s wise to get your battery checked.
Regular maintenance can help identify these issues early. It’s also good practice to be aware of the age of your battery. If it’s been more than three years, especially in a challenging climate like Phoenix’s, consider having it tested even if you’re not experiencing issues to prevent any unexpected car troubles.
How Can Phoenix’s Climate Affect My Car Battery?
The extreme temperatures in Phoenix can significantly affect your car battery’s lifespan. Heat can cause battery fluid to evaporate and accelerate chemical reactions within the battery, leading to increased wear. Regular battery checks, especially before the hot summer months, are essential to ensure your battery remains in peak condition.
Our technicians understand the unique impact of Phoenix's weather and are trained to provide advice tailored to your specific use and driving habits, which means you’ll receive insights that can help extend the life of your battery.

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.
