There's nothing worse than turning your key in the ignition or pressing the engine's start/stop button and having absolutely nothing happen. A dead battery can leave you stranded even though all other parts of your vehicle are working perfectly. At Ford of Northampton, we offer battery maintenance and inspections at our service center to help drivers stay on the move.
What Is Vehicle Battery Service?
Unfortunately, many drivers don't always think about their car's battery until they've reached the end of their lifespans and no longer hold a charge. Depending upon the vehicle make and model that you own and the type of battery you have installed, this component should be replaced about once every three to five years. However, regularly inspecting, testing, and cleaning your battery is key to avoiding problems. You can enjoy good battery health for far longer when you take care of this component.
When you visit us for battery service, we'll:
- Inspect and clean all cables and connections
- Inspect and clean the battery table
- Check for and resolve loose connections
Test your battery's charge and its ability to hold a charge
If necessary, we'll add water to your battery if its indicator "eye" is dark rather than bright green or if there are other signs of electrolyte loss.
Replace Your Battery Before It Fails Entirely
Having your battery regularly serviced also minimizes the potential for unpleasant surprises. We'll track the lifespan and health of your battery, and we can let you know when it's time to change this component. Best of all, we'll help you choose the right replacement for your vehicle, driving style, and budget, and we'll install it to factory specifications.
