When your battery fails, it can wreak havoc in your day. You might be stuck in your driveway in Dothan or on the side of the road in Greenville. You might get left in a parking lot in Luverne because you can’t get the engine started to drive home. Avoid the problems that come with battery issues when you have it serviced at Greenville Chevrolet.
Having your battery serviced on a regular basis can prevent a lot of issues. A service technician can test your battery and let you know how much life remains. The technician will inspect the cables that connect the battery to the car and look at the terminals. They can tell if they are dirty, loose, or frayed. They will clean the corrosion and dirt off and let you know if anything needs to be replaced. Sometimes, all you need is for the connections to be tightened. They can loosen over time as you drive, which can prevent a solid connection and cause your engine not to start.
We carry a variety of batteries that will fit your vehicle in various price ranges and warranties. We’ll provide an estimate of the cost of replacement and let you know how quickly you need to have it replaced. You should schedule battery testing at least once or twice a year for older batteries. If you have any issues, you can bring your vehicle and ask us to test it.
Many times, your battery will stop working with no warning and you can’t start the engine. In this case, you may be able to use jumper cables to start the engine. If this happens, you need to bring your vehicle in for service, so we can tell if the battery needs to be replaced. If jumping the battery doesn’t get it started, you’ll need to have it towed to our service center.
Often, you may leave a light on, which can drain a healthy battery. In this case, you may only need to jump the car and be on your way. If you must jump it more than once, it could be that the battery is failing. Other components, such as the alternator can have issues and cause the engine not to start. Sometimes, a failed alternator can also damage the battery.
When you bring your vehicle in for service, we’ll test the battery. If the battery seems to be fine, we’ll look at other components to the starting system, such as the alternator, starter, and ignition.
You can schedule service online or with a phone call to have our service center take care of your battery. You can easily schedule it with other services, such as an oil change. We’ll test it and let you know what we find. If your battery is ready to be replaced, we’ll let you know which batteries we have in stock fit your vehicle. All new batteries include a warranty, which can range from three to seven years.
