Winter Battery Care

Learn how to keep your car battery running strong this winter so you don’t get stranded out in the cold waiting for a replacement.   Remember these winter car battery service tips for the best cold-temperature performance:   - Purchase the correct car battery of appropriate size with sufficient cranking power (consult your local auto mechanic and your owner’s manual).   - Purchase one of good quality.   - Keep it clean and have it checked by a professional. Some corrosion can’t be seen.   - Have it tested by an Auto-Lab technician at every oil change (every 3,000 miles).   - Have the cables, posts and fasteners inspected to ensure they are in good shape and secured firmly.   - Have your starting and charging system tested every six months.   - Use a battery charger to maintain charge levels   At some point in time, a car battery replacement will more than likely be necessary as the average lifespan is between 3-5 years.   We are proud to carry private label Auto-Lab Batteries at our Complete Car Care Centers. We have three series of batteries; Gold Series, Silver Series and Bronze Series. Each come complete with a three year replacement warranty.
