Bring your car battery maintenance needs to Bauer Built Tire & Service. Our skilled technicians will help you find the right car or truck battery to supply electricity to the starter and get your vehicle running. It also provides an electrical source for your car radio and interior and exterior lights.
Our car battery services include an inspection and assessment of your battery to determine the source of the problem, such as wire corrosion. We also monitor the life of your battery during winter months when cold weather can negatively affect its power supply. Our team values your time and patronage and strives to operate with quality and efficiency to get you back on the road.
Since your car battery controls the electrical components of your vehicle, any issues with lighting and startup operations are a sure sign of battery issues.
The following are common signs your battery is going bad:
Our technicians complete a comprehensive evaluation of your car battery components to determine the state of its charge and ability to turn the engine over. We also conduct a visual inspection to determine if your battery has sustained damage or developed corrosion, which could require a replacement.
Determining the correct battery size for your vehicle supports optimal performance, especially during the colder months of the year that drain its power. Sizing includes assessing the group size, cold cranking amps, reserve capacity, voltage, terminal orientation and manufacturer’s recommendations. We also assess battery type to determine if gel, flooded or absorbent glass mat batteries will provide the best power for your vehicle.
Our car battery replacement service begins with disconnecting your old battery before removing it from your vehicle. The new battery is installed and secured with clamps or brackets if necessary. Our technicians reconnect the positive and negative terminals and test the battery by starting your vehicle and checking the electrical systems, including your lights, radio and accessories. We dispose of the old battery once the service is complete.
During battery testing, we assess the voltage, charge, internal resistance and load to determine how well your battery delivers power to the engine. Completing those tests allows our technicians to identify the cause of the battery failure and determine if repairs are possible.
