We understand your car's battery is important and want to help you make sure it never lets you down at the worst possible moment. When you're driving around Jonesboro, AR, reliability matters, especially when you're driving far from home. Here’s some advice from Ultimate Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Mountain Home, AR on how to make sure your battery is always coming through for you.
Don't get stuck with a dead battery out there
Your battery will often send out warning signs before it passes away. For example, if your engine is starting slowly, that might indicate it's losing power and needs replacing. If that happens, let us do a battery check as soon as possible.
Dim lights and electrical weakness
With all the electronics in today's cars, the demand on your battery is greater than ever. Even charging your smartphone can contribute to a battery's early demise. If you notice your lights seem to be dim or other electrical components aren't operating at full strength, you should take a hard look at the battery.
The "Check engine" light might be telling you something
A "Check engine" light can be a sign your battery needs attention, which is a good reason to visit us from your home in Heber Springs, AR. In addition, ask us to check your battery with every oil change. Whenever your battery starts nearing the end, we can supply you with a brand-new one.
How old is your battery anyway?
If you're one of our neighbors in Harrison, AR, you may have gotten your battery in our service center at Ultimate Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, so we may be able to find the date you bought it. Since a battery can last 3-5 years under ideal conditions, we can help you decide if it needs to be replaced.
Battery services to keep you running longer, stronger
If your car is parked in your garage for long periods, ask us about a "battery maintainer." It can help keep your battery properly charged without over-charging it, while a conventional "trickle charger" must be unplugged when it's done charging to avoid damage. Drive here from West Plains, MO and let us help you find the right services, accessories and new batteries at Ultimate Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Mountain Home, AR.
