Worth knowing

Heat is harder on a battery than cold

Most people expect batteries to die in winter, and winter is when they fail to start. The damage often happens in summer: heat speeds up the wear inside the battery, and a cold morning months later is when it finally shows.

Corroded or loose terminals cause plenty of no-starts that look like a dead battery. Cleaning the posts is part of the job, and sometimes it is the whole fix.

Which sound is it making

Four things worth
a phone call.

Rapid clicking

Usually a weak battery or a poor connection.

A slow crank

The engine turns over slowly, then starts. A battery on its way out.

Nothing at all

Could be the battery or a connection.

Dim lights at startup

The battery cannot hold up the load.

Questions

Asked before
this job gets booked.

Yes. At home, at work or in a parking lot, wherever it will not start.
Often three to five years, less in a hot climate. Age, heat and short trips all shorten it.
Tell us that on the call. A new battery that goes flat, or a car that clicks with a good battery, points at a connection or another part, and we tell you what we find.
