As you head home, to work, or into town, you'll want to trust that the car you're driving is capable of getting you from point A to point B safely. Our used car service department serving Youngstown, OH, is here for all of your battery service needs. Not sure how to evaluate the condition of your car's battery or when it needs replacing? No worries! Let's break down the basics. 

How To Check Your Battery Condition

• Make sure that the connections are clean, tight, and corrosion-free.
• If your car fails to start, get your jumper cables and find another driver to help
• Make sure that both cars are in "park" or "neutral" with the ignitions shut off and the emergency brake is on
• Remove the caps from each car's battery and connect the cables
• Attach one of the red clips to the position terminal on your battery and attach the other red clip on the positive terminal on the other vehicle's battery
• Attach one of the black clips to the negative terminal on the other car's battery and attach the other black clip to an unpainted, metal surface on your car-making sure that it isn't near the carburetor or the battery
• Try to start your vehicle 

If you find you cannot jumpstart the battery or can do so with some difficulty, it may be time to pay a visit to our service department.

When To Replace Your Vehicle's Battery

Here are some telltale signs that you may need to replace your car battery:

• When it's low: If you're noticing that it takes your car longer to crank when you turn the key, if the lights are dimming, or if your car simply won't start, it's a good indication that your battery is nearing the end of its lifespan. Any time your car needs to be jumpstarted, it's a good idea to have the system checked to ensure that everything's in good shape.
• When it's old: As your battery ages, it will naturally lose some of its juice. Extreme heat and cold can accelerate this process. When your battery fails, it may not give any warning signs beforehand. That's why it's a good idea to replace your battery if it's over three years old, even if it seems to work.
