The staff at Feldman CDJR of Clarkston wants you to be knowledgeable about your vehicle and its care. That’s why we created this piece on where you can find battery service near Auburn Hills, Michigan. Read on to learn about your car battery and when you should bring it in for an inspection.

What Is a Battery Service?

---

The primary purpose of a car battery is to start the vehicle. The electrical current within the battery sparks the starter to turn on the engine. Even if all other components were functioning perfectly, your car would not turn on if your battery wasn’t working.

At a battery service appointment, a technician will diagnose the battery issue and determine if your lack of electrical current is truly the fault of a dead battery or something else.

The battery itself can die for the following reasons:

• It has reached its expiration date
• Extremely hot or cold temperatures
• Corrosion

However, issues with the alternator, wires, electric control unit, or drive belt can also cause a battery to malfunction.

When Should I Get Battery Service?

---

Once you start noticing your electronics acting up, or your ignition taking longer to start, it might be time to get your battery looked at.

If you don’t get your battery inspected, your vehicle might turn off without warning. Then, you’ll need to contact a friend, nearby service center, or on-call tow truck to give you a lift or jump-start.

While you can’t prevent the unexpected, you can stay aware of your battery’s condition. Scheduling routine vehicle inspections will ensure that you stay up to date on your battery’s health and charge.

Knowing the age of your battery can also help prepare you to change the battery before it impacts your driving. Batteries can last from three to five years and more before they wear out. So, knowing the age of your car’s battery will help you be more cognizant of your next battery change and cue you to look out for signs of a declining battery.
