We Test Batteries At Precision Auto Repair In Albertville

Today’s vehicles have more electrical components and do-dads than ever before.This really strains your electrical system, making it hard for the battery to keep up. Think about it: electric seats, seat heaters, power locks, windows and sun roofs. And then we have all the power outlets for our cell phones, computers, and DVD players. We also have navigation systems and powerful stereos.

Plus there are all the SUV engine and transmission computers, traction control, stability control, anti-lock brakes, sensors and on and on. Even the security system is running off the battery while the car is turned off. And of course, summer heat can take a real toll on battery life.

Fortunately, battery technology has given Albertville drivers resilient batteries that are able to meet these strenuous requirements. But the fact is; SUV batteries just wear out over time. Eventually, every battery gets to the point where it cannot hold enough of a charge to start your car. Sometimes batteries need to be replaced because they have developed a leak.

Replacement batteries come in all shapes and sizes. Some cars have limited space that requires a specially shaped battery to fit. Larger SUV engines require more powerful batteries to get them started. If you live in a cold climate you will need a more powerful battery because engines are harder to start when it is cold.

In MN, batteries come in “good”, “better”, and “best” grades. More expensive batteries may have a longer warranty and are guaranteed to last longer. As with most things Albertville auto owners need to purchase to keep their cars in good condition, paying a little more up front saves money in the long run. Ask your appreciative Precision Auto Repair service advisor to test your battery and advise you on how much life it has left.

At Precision Auto Repair, we also offer alignment, cooling system service and cabin air filter.
