Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does A Battery Replacement Usually Take
In many situations, testing and replacement can be completed within a visit that lasts about an hour or slightly longer. The exact time depends on your vehicle design and how accessible the battery is. We let you know our estimate up front and keep you updated while you wait.
How Will You Know If My Battery Is Really Bad
We use battery and charging system tests rather than guesswork. Our ASE-certified technicians measure battery health, check connections, and evaluate the alternator. Then we review the results with you so you can see why we are or are not recommending replacement.
What Kind Of Warranty Do You Offer On New Batteries
We offer an industry-leading warranty on qualifying batteries and our labor. The specific coverage can vary by battery type, so we explain the details before installation. Our goal is to give you clear expectations and long-term confidence in the work we perform on your vehicle.
Can You Help If My Car Will Not Start At Home
If your car will not start, we can discuss the situation by phone and help you plan the next step, such as arranging a tow through your preferred provider. Once the vehicle is at our shop, we handle testing and any needed replacement, and we keep you informed throughout.
How Often Should I Replace My Car Battery Here
Battery life can vary, but in hot climates like this part of Texas, many batteries last around three to five years. Factors such as short trips and heavy accessory use can shorten that span. We can check your battery’s condition during visits, so you are not caught off guard.

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.

"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.
