LEARN MORE ABOUT BATTERY SERVICE & REPLACEMENT

Car battery problems are never a good thing. To steer clear of being stranded on the side of a road due to a faulty car battery, make sure you have your battery inspected on a regular basis - every 3,000 to 6,000 miles or during routine oil changes. In addition, you'll want to keep an eye on a few things to ensure that your battery doesn't just die unexpectedly. See our list below of symptoms to watch out for.

WHEN SHOULD I GET A NEW CAR BATTERY?

Do you find yourself in need of a jump start often? If so, then your Acadia, Yukon or LaCrosse is probably due for a new battery. Here are some other car battery warning signs to watch for:

---

ENGINE IS SLOW TO START

If it takes you a while to start your car, then your battery is most likely on its way out. However, this could mean that something else is wrong with your new or used car, truck or SUV. Regardless, don't ignore this warning sign. Instead, bring your vehicle in for servicing right away. To help you save time, go ahead and fill out our handy online service appointment scheduler.

---

SWOLLEN BATTERY CASE

If you notice that your battery's casing is swollen, it probably means it is time for a new battery. Let our highly-trained technicians take a look to make the right determination as to what exactly your vehicle needs.

---

FLICKERING LIGHTS

Do your interior lights flicker on and off? Are your headlights unusually dim? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then your battery is probably about to die.

---

 

SLOWING MOVING POWER WINDOWS

Does it take an unusually long time to roll your power windows up and down? If so, then you'll most likely need McKinney car battery service to determine if you are in need of a new battery or alternator.

How to Get the Most out of Your Car Battery

The best way to keep your battery in top shape is to have routine car battery maintenance near the Sam Rayburn Tollway. During service intervals, there are also some easy things you can do to help prolong the life of your battery, including:

1. Turning off all lights and unplugging power adapters when not in use
2. Keeping your battery terminals clean
3. Taking longer car rides to help your battery fully charge
4. Ensuring that your battery is tightly fastened
