Battery Maintenance & Inspection Services
The average lifespan of most car batteries is between three and five years, but this is heavily affected by driving habits and exposure to extreme temperatures – especially in the Midwest. If a car battery has gone bad, it may not be immediately noticeable, and can negatively affect many components of your vehicle, including the vehicle’s starting motor, starter solenoid, and the charging system. If your car battery is over three years old, it’s recommended to get an annual inspection to determine its health. After all, knowing when to replace your battery is much better than being stranded on your way to work when your car won’t start.
