Tips for Boosting Your Battery's Power
There are several ways to care for your Chevy car battery, including keeping your car out of the sun as much as possible, avoiding short trips on a regular basis and not using too many electronic devices in your car. But one of the biggest car battery tips is to simply bring your car in for battery service on Bell Road.
When it comes to car battery service, you'll find that this helps extend your battery's life, helping you save money in the long run, as you avoid shelling out large amounts of funds on frequent car battery replacements in Phoenix.
Midway Chevy battery service in North Phoenix includes many aspects, but the most common areas are:
- A battery cleaning (unclogging blocked terminals)
- Fluid check (and replenishment)
- Power check
Is My Battery Failing?
In an ideal world, your Chevy's battery should last between three and four years, depending on the amount you drive and other factors. It will, however, not live as long as you have your car, unless you are leasing, which is why at some point you will find yourself in need of a car battery replacement.
Most experts recommend vigilance once you reach the three-year mark with your battery, watching carefully for any of these symptoms to come up:
- Severe leakage
- Low fluid levels (a consequence of the above)
- A bloated battery case
- Your car won't start, or struggles to start
If you experience any of these symptoms, be sure to bring your car into our Midway Chevy service center conveniently located right off of Bell Road in North Phoenix.
There our expert service technicians will be able to diagnose any battery problems you might be having, and either fix the issues or simply recommend a replacement battery.
