Did You Know: The older a car battery is, the more susceptible it is to extreme temperature changes.
Comprehensive Car Battery Testing & Diagnostic
Battery performance fluctuates with extreme temperatures, from the deepest winter freezes to hot summer days. Our car battery installation services include a suite of diagnostic and preventive solutions to keep you from getting stranded, such as:
- Battery diagnostic testing for charge capacity and health assessment
- Removal of old or unreliable batteries and safe environmental disposal
- Installation of manufacturer-recommended or high-performance batteries tailored to your make and model
- Cleaning & inspection of terminals and cable connections for secure operation
- System checks covering alternator, starter, and entire charging system
Regular battery and charging system inspections are essential to avoiding unexpected breakdowns. Many electrical faults, including hidden corrosion or loose connections, aren’t visible until tested by a professional. Our thorough checks go beyond the basics to catch problems before they become major issues. We also provide practical advice on selecting the right battery for the area’s seasonal demands and offer guidance to maximize battery lifespan. Trust us for honest answers, complete service, and a commitment to keeping your vehicle safe and dependable year after year.

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.
