Battery Service

A dead car battery can be a cause for concern and can be extremely stressful when it happens at the worst time. If your vehicle won’t start up, your vehicle’s battery may be dead. You may also notice that your vehicle doesn’t crank when you try to start it or that the power windows and locks aren’t working. A car battery can die is a light is left on in your vehicle overnight. If you’re having issues starting your car, give our shop a call and our experts can help. We offer free local towing and can help get your vehicle into our shop and repaired as soon as possible.

The regular life of a car battery is typically between 3-5 years, but other problems can cause your battery to die unexpectedly. A dead battery can occur from a failing starting and charging system which can prevent the battery from receiving the proper charge. An issue with the alternator can also cause your car battery to die.

Once your vehicle is at our shop, we will perform a battery and charging system test to determine the exact cause of the issue. A dead battery is common and can usually be repaired quickly.
