Clean battery
The first kind of maintenance that we want to discuss with you about you battery is keeping it clean. Some people can go about doing this by themselves, especially if they are highly knowledgeable, and know how to go about doing it safely. However, for many people, they simply are not comfortable enough with vehicles to go about doing this work on their own. Our certified technicians can make sure that the wires are still functioning properly, that all of the ports are clean, and that any build-up of rust is properly removed. By keeping the car’s battery clean, you are avoiding any corrosion or damage that could otherwise be taking place. That’s the kind of thing that will significantly deteriorate this piece of equipment, which could leave you stranded in a situation that you would much rather avoid.
Check charge
Even if your car battery is properly maintained, that doesn’t mean that you won’t experience times in which your car could be slow to start, or perhaps not even turn over at all. That means it might be time to bring your vehicle in for one of our professionals to check out. They’ll be able to check the ability of the battery to hold a charge, which will determine whether or not you should get the battery replaced. You should be doing this before the summer, as summers in Georgia can be fairly brutal, and extreme heat can spell bad news for batteries. The more on top of this kind of maintenance you are, the less likely you’ll end up stuck somewhere with a battery that isn’t functioning the way that it should.
Replace battery
The final kind of battery-related maintenance that we can have performed at Akins CDJR is replacing the battery altogether. This is the kind of maintenance that we do after discovering the the battery can no longer hold a charge the way that it should, or there are connections that have corroded enough where it just isn’t in your vehicle’s best interest to keep that battery. We’ll be able to assist you in choosing a new battery for your car, along with installing it so you can get back on the road without too many interruptions to your everyday life and schedule.
