Battery Check and Replacement

Columbus Service Center

Stay Road Ready with Battery Checks and Replacements

The car battery is a critical component in your vehicle, giving it the power it needs to operate. Without it, you will quickly find that you might get stuck at home for longer than you expected. Or, you might get stranded while running errands.

The best way to combat this is to visit Acura of Columbus in Columbus, GA, to get your battery regularly checked. We can let you know where your car battery stands and if you need a replacement. However, if you have suspicions that your battery could be on its last leg, some signs can help you determine when to visit our service center.

How Often Should You Have Your Battery Checked?

We recommend getting your car battery checked at least twice a year. Ideally, you want to go once during the fall and once in the spring, before and after the colder weather.

When Should You Consider a Battery Replacement?

Car batteries need replacing now and again. They go through general wear and tear similar to any other battery-operated machine. A combination of the weather and vehicle movement contributes to the need for a new battery. You can expect your battery to last for a long time, usually between three to five years, but there always comes the point where you need a replacement.

But, you don't need to wait until your vehicle refuses to turn on to get the battery replaced. There are other signs you can keep an eye out for that give you some forewarning. These are:

  • A dashboard warning light
  • Slow engine start up
  • You have not had a battery replacement in 3+ years
  • Unusual odors
  • Your cars electrical features operate slowly
  • Swollen battery case

While noticing one of these signs does not necessarily mean you need a new battery, it's not a bad idea to consider bringing your car into the service center at Acura of Columbus for a check.

Battery Checks Reveal the Lifespan of Your Car Battery

Next time you come by the service center, we recommend having us take a look under the hood. Even if your battery presents no problems to you, it can still be informative to have expert technicians take a peek. We can let you know the lifespan of your battery and when we think you will need a replacement. That way, you can have an idea of when to come back before finding yourself stranded.

However, if the battery lifespan is not as long as you might have thought, you can also proceed with getting a replacement while you're at Acura of Columbus. With the replacement, you have a fresh start and can have peace of mind that your vehicle is good to go for years to come.
