Car Battery Testing & Installation in Germantown, MD

When to Replace Your Car Battery in Germantown, MD

You might forget about your car battery, but did you know? It's in charge of powering practically every electrical part of your vehicle, from the interior lights to the engine ignition. Without a strong battery, your vehicle won't start or function for very long. If the battery light is illuminated on your dashboard, that's a pretty good sign it's time to make an appointment for battery replacement in Germantown. However, there are other signs that could clue you into the need for a new car battery.

You may want to get a new car battery installed when: the engine is slow to crank; the interior lights start to dim or flicker; you hear clicking sounds when turning the key in the ignition; the interior lights start to dim or flicker; and you have to keep jumpstarting your vehicle!

You don't want to put off a battery replacement when it starts to go, since a completely dead battery could leave you with a car that doesn't start. Pay attention to these signs, and review your owner's manual for manufacturer guidance. A vehicle battery typically needs to be swapped for a new one every three years or so, but driving style and climate can throw a wrench in this recommendation. Visit us for a complimentary battery inspection* in Germantown and we'll test your battery's current charge level so you know about how much longer it might last.
