Automotive batteries tend to fail at the worst possible times. There's nothing worse than dashing off to work only to find your auto powerless and unable to turn on. Scheduling regular battery service is the absolute best way to avoid battery failure. At Suburban Chevrolet, our service team makes it easy for Chevrolet drivers to keep their batteries in top condition.
What Does Automotive Battery Service Include?
Our battery service is preventative and corrective. During your visit, we'll perform a thorough visual inspection of your battery and its posts, cables, and other connections. We'll also inspect the battery table. We'll clean off all corrosion and treat these features to prevent new corrosion from performing.
As needed, we'll also perform a comprehensive battery health test. Our open circuit voltage and load tests verify whether batteries have an adequate charge and a reasonable amount of time remaining in their lifespans. This way, if your battery is ready to be changed, you can have a new one put in before you're left stranded.
How Often Should Battery Maintenance Be Performed?
The average automotive battery lasts about four to five years. Your battery should be inspected, cleaned, and tested approximately every six months. This service can be performed along with other forms of vehicle maintenance. For instance, you can schedule a battery health test when having your tires rotated or your oil changed. Regular battery upkeep allows our mechanics to catch and correct problems that may be affecting the health of your battery before these issues diminish its lifespan.
If you've been neglecting your vehicle's battery, now is the time to schedule battery service. Routinely maintaining this all-important component will ensure that your vehicle reliably turns on. It can also extend the lifespan of your battery and ensure consistent performance. Call or come by Suburban Chevrolet today for an appointment.
