Getting a New Battery on Time

If you have been jumpstarting your car a lot lately, it may be the battery. Did you know that batteries have ways of letting us know that they are about to die? Pay attention to the signs and get help before your battery leaves you stranded. As part of our full service car repair Poughkeepsie NY, we can test your battery for you.
Lights
Your accessories draw power from the battery. If there isn't enough power, your lights will let you know. For instance, the cabin lights may dim when you turn on your heater. If this happens, have your battery tested at Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center. You can do this at your oil change or at any time. Schedule an appointment.
Strange Looks
Your battery and the area around it should look clean. If it looks rusty, crusty or otherwise worn out, your battery may be suffering. The first thing to do is have the system evaluated. We can clean the cables and posts, check the battery, and recommend the simplest course of action. The battery may not need replacement if the charging mechanisms are working properly again.
Aging Battery
At three years old, your battery has hit its peak and starts to decline. Your battery will age more quickly if there has been a problem with the alternator, starter or belts.
New Battery
Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center is your home for OEM equipment. This means that we offer those batteries that were designed specifically for your make and model. Our shop is capable of car repair Poughkeepsie NY for all vehicle brands.
Use the online scheduler to make an appointment.
