Without a fully functioning battery, your vehicle won’t work. That’s stating the obvious. Trinity Auto Care, your auto mechanic in White Bear Lake, MN has the following tips below on how you can maintain your car battery.
Your battery is one of the most important components of your vehicle. Taking good care of it is an absolute must. Failing to care for your battery regularly can have consequences.
You have places to go like dropping off or picking up the kids. Plus, you have those ‘must-do’ things like grocery shopping or going to work. Don’t let a poorly functioning battery slow that down for you.
Let’s discuss some of the following battery tips shared with you by your auto shop near Stillwater, MN:
Turn off your lights before exiting
‘Your lights are on’. How many times have we heard that when we’re out and about? These days, most modern vehicles will shut your lights off automatically. But not every vehicle, mind you.
That’s why you should turn off your lights before exiting your vehicle. Failure to do so will lead to a drained battery. From there, you’ll need a jump. Don’t be too discouraged though if and when that does happen by mistake.
Don’t use electronics when idling
When your vehicle is idling, it would be wise to not use electronics at all. This includes your air conditioner or radio. The reason for this is that it can cause wear and tear on your battery.
If you are idling for longer periods, it can even drain the battery. If your battery needs to be replaced, Trinity Auto Care will get the job done for you. Our ASE certified technicians near Saint Paul, MN are trained to make sure your battery is well taken care of or replaced fully.
Even better, our warranty for 3 years, 36,000 miles is second to none. On top of that, your battery should be changed every 3 to 5 years. So the warranty will last as long as the battery itself.
Check it regularly
If you need to get your battery checked to ensure it’s in good functioning order, you can do it yourself using a battery tester. Knowing the condition that it’s in is important. It will help you determine whether or not you need to get it replaced.
If your battery does get replaced in our shop, Trinity Auto Care will have a loaner car on hand if you have places to go. If you need a ride to and from our shop, we’ll get it done for you. Whether it’s from work or home, we’ve got you covered.
