Battery Service Savings in Salem, VA

A dead battery can seriously throw off your schedule. Usually, you have to wait around for a tow truck or, at best, find someone to give you a jump-start. Sometimes, it isn't that easy. If your car battery dies after all of the repair shops have closed, or you are far away from any shops or cell towers, it can cost time and money.

Checking your battery regularly and replacing it when necessary is easy at the service center on-site at Berglund Ford Inc. We also offer many service specials to save drivers money in Salem, VA. Whether your battery is acting up or you have not had a check in a while, schedule yourself for an appointment at our shop.

When Do You Need a Battery Service?

Whether you take care of your battery or not, you will still need to replace it eventually. Every battery is built to last for a specific amount of years or miles. You can check your manual to see how long your battery is rated for. The unit itself might also have a sticker that gives you this information.

The reason to maintain your battery is that you do not want it giving out early. Dirt and corrosion can lead to problems down the line, so if you notice these, have your battery leads and cables cleaned. If you notice that your battery is having trouble holding a charge, you might need to replace it, or another part like the alternator might need service

The following are some of the most obvious signs that your car is due for a battery checkup in Salem, VA:

• You have to try several times to start your engine if it will even start.
• You have jump-started the battery recently. If you are jump-starting it often, this is a sure sign.
• There is dirt or corrosion on the battery cables and leads. For safety, do not touch battery corrosion.
• The headlights are not as bright as they should be.
• The battery-powered components only work with the engine on, like interior lights and the radio.
• The battery has gone over a year without a checkup.
