Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know If I Really Need a New Battery?
The most reliable way to find out is through proper testing. Our technicians check your battery, alternator, and starter with diagnostic equipment before recommending replacement. Sometimes the battery is fine and another component is the real culprit, so we focus on finding the true cause first.
How Long Does Battery Testing & Replacement Take?
Many battery tests and replacements are completed the same day, though timing depends on what we find during the inspection. We’ll give you an estimate after that initial check and keep you updated if anything changes.
What If My Car Won’t Start at All?
Contact us and we can talk through your situation and options for getting the vehicle to our shop. Once it arrives, we test the battery and the rest of the electrical system, then review the results with you before any work is approved.
Do You Check the Alternator & Starter Too?
Yes. When you come in with a starting problem, we typically test the battery, alternator, and starter together. That way we don’t replace a good battery when the real issue lies elsewhere. We share the results and explain what they mean before you approve any work.
What Warranty Do You Offer on Battery Work?
Battery-related work at Christian Brothers Automotive Montgomery is backed by the Nice difference.® warranty, covering qualifying parts and labor for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs last. We walk you through the coverage details before you make a decision, so you leave with clear expectations.

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.
