Every person depends on their car to start when they turn the key, but there are a couple of things needed to make that happen every time. Just as your car needs fuel to run, your vehicle also needs a spark to ignite the gas, power the systems, and bring the engine to life. The electrical systems in your car depend on the battery, and this small box provides the power for almost everything: from headlights to safety features, even basic internal combustion. Without a properly functioning battery, the truth is that your car will be going nowhere fast. Below are some of the battery replacement services we offer.

DEAD BATTERY
Depending on the situation, a dead battery can be an inconvenience or leave you stranded on the side of the road, but either way, it is a hassle you need not have to endure. A certified technician can quickly perform a diagnostic test to assess the strength of charge in the battery. Based on their findings, they can recommend whether the battery still has life and needs only to be charged on a machine or whether it should be completely replaced. Depending on the severity, a battery can be placed on a rapid charger and renewed to full capacity in less than an hour.
BATTERY REPLACEMENTS
Should the battery need to be replaced, it is important to purchase a battery with enough cold cranking amps for your particular vehicle. Many people make the mistake of purchasing the least expensive battery available to save money, only to find that the unit does not contain enough voltage to operate all the electrical systems their car requires. In addition, it is always best to buy a battery with a prorated warranty, so that if anything does happen in the future, the vendor will replace or discount the cost of any new unit. Most batteries require a fairly simple removal and installation, just a couple of bolts to loosen the brackets holding the unit in place. Caution should be taken when reconnecting the battery cables to ensure that they are not crossed. Placing the wrong cable on the wrong battery terminal can extensively damage the electrical components of your car and lead to lots of money spent on repair.
BATTERY CHECK
Most auto parts stores, battery distributors, and mechanic shops offer a free battery check to provide the best information possible. While this may require a battery to be removed and taken to the store for a check, some dealerships or auto repair shops provide this service as well. Be sure to have the vendor show you the printed battery slip from the machine rather than just take their word for it. This keeps any unscrupulous vendor from charging you for a battery replacement when recharging would have sufficed.

The company has a great reputation for building reliable batteries that last and are covered by an excellent warranty. With over 150,000 locations across the country, a certified technician or parts professional can help you find the perfect Interstate battery for your vehicle.
