How Often Should You Replace Your Car's Battery?
Most modern car batteries tend to last between three and five years. Of course, every vehicle is different, so it's a good idea to check the owner's manual of your vehicle to find a specific timeline. If you notice any of the following warning signs, you'll want to have the battery's charge checked or have a new battery installed.
- Dim Headlights or Interior Lights - Does it seem like the interior lights or headlights are dimmer than usual?
- Slow Starts - When you start your car, does it take longer than normal to get it started?
- Rotten Egg Smell - Have you noticed a rotten egg smell near the engine?
- Corrosion Near the Terminals - When you look at the battery, can you see corrosion or white powder near the terminals?
If you notice any of these warning signs, don't hesitate to contact us to make a battery inspection or replacement appointment.
