Why do you need battery services?
The battery is one of the most critical components of the car. Without a functioning battery, the car won't start. In most cases, the battery can fail without warning, leaving you in an inconvenient situation of having to jump-start the car, tow it a nearby dealership, or buy a battery and change it on the spot. You can avoid such a situation through regular battery service. At Bergeron Auto, our technicians perform a comprehensive inspection of the battery, including checking the battery terminals for any corrosion buildup, checking for any leaks or damage to the battery case, and using a battery meter to test the health of the battery.
Signs of a bad battery
Most car owners continue to neglect battery service until the battery fails, and that's when they have no choice but to get a new battery. Signs of a bad battery are not always apparent. If you notice that the battery is struggling to start the car, it is time to get the battery tested. Of course, if the battery is completely dead, it would not be able to start the car, and you need a new battery or jump-start the car. Make sure you take your car to an authorized dealership such as Bergeron Auto, who has certified MOPAR technicians.
How often should you get battery service?
The required frequency of battery service depends on a few different factors, such as the type of battery, driving conditions, type of car, environmental conditions, etc. Most experts recommend that you have the battery tested at least a couple of times annually. If you live in regions with extreme temperatures, you might need more frequent battery inspections. It is a good idea to get the battery tested at the start of the fall season before winter sets in.
