Q: My battery died and needed a jump to start – does it need replaced?

A: Not necessarily. Though a dead battery is a potential sign that your battery needs replaced, there could also be a problem with the alternator or other component that would cause the battery to die.

Q: The battery light on my car came on. What does that mean?

A: If the battery light is illuminated on your vehicle’s instrument cluster, it likely means there is an issue with the vehicle’s charging system. We can run an advanced diagnostic to verify the cause of the light and verify your vehicle is in proper working order.

Q: How long do car batteries typically last?

A: Car batteries can last between 3 and 10 years, but the lifetime of a battery depends on several factors. Those include the weather conditions where you live and your driving habits with the vehicle.

Q: There is a lot of corrosion on my vehicle’s battery. Does it need to be replaced?

A: If the battery is still holding a charge, it most likely needs to be cleaned of the corrosion. Our Certified Technicians can inspect your battery and clean it to verify it is functioning properly and will not leave you stranded.
