Battery Service at Harry Brown’s
When it comes to routine maintenance, there are some parts of your vehicle that you’re certainly not going to want to forget about. Your oil should always come first, but after that, you’ll want to check on the condition of your battery. Your battery probably isn’t something that you think about often, so if you haven’t checked it recently, you may want to consider having it inspected at Harry Brown’s. This will help you make sure that your vehicle starts the next time you need it.
What Causes a Dead Battery?
There are a lot of things that can cause a dead battery, so you may want to take the time to learn about what you might be dealing with.
- Corrosion and Gunk: Over time, your battery’s terminals might become corroded. This can drastically reduce its ability to function, and can even inhibit your vehicle from starting.
- Did You Leave a Door Open?: Your battery doesn’t make any power on its own, and essentially functions as storage. If you leave a door open, you might accidentally run through your limited supply overnight, which can make it hard for your model to start.
- Your Battery is Too Old: Batteries won’t last forever on the road, and will usually need to be replaced every few years. If you’re routinely maintaining your model, this shouldn’t be a problem, as your mechanic can let you know when your battery is nearing its end before you run into issues.
Your Car’s Electrical System Relies on the Battery
When your car doesn’t seem to have any power, it’s easy to blame your battery, but this might not always be the case. When you run into this problem, it’s usually best to try jumping your vehicle, and if that doesn’t work, you can always bring your battery to Harry Brown’s to get tested. If it checks out fine, then you probably have a bigger problem on your hands. There can be a number of different causes, ranging from your starter to your alternator, so if you’re hoping to have the problem fixed quickly and efficiently and you’re near
Northville,
