Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know I really need a new battery?
The best way to know is through a proper test. We use diagnostic equipment to measure your battery’s health and the performance of your charging system, then walk you through the results. If the battery still has life left, we explain that and discuss other possible causes.
Will you check my alternator and starter, too?
Yes, when you come in for a battery concern, we typically test the battery, alternator, and starter together. This helps us see the full picture of your starting and charging system. We then explain what each test showed and recommend only the repairs your vehicle actually needs.
How long does car battery installation usually take?
Most car battery installation visits are completed the same day, and often within a few hours once your vehicle is in our bay. Exact timing can depend on your vehicle, how busy the shop is, and whether we find additional electrical issues that need attention.
What warranty do you offer on a new battery?
We back our work with an industry-leading warranty that covers both parts and labor on qualifying services. Specific battery warranty terms can vary by battery type and manufacturer, so we review the details with you before installation and note them clearly on your invoice.
What if my car will not start to get to you?
If your car will not start, we can help you plan how to bring it to our shop, such as coordinating a tow through your roadside assistance provider. Once your vehicle arrives, our complimentary shuttle service can help you get where you need to go while we perform testing.

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.
