Battery Inspections

It's crucial to maintain the optimal condition of your battery to efficiently provide the power you need, especially during critical moments. However, batteries can be prone to damage caused by extreme weather, moisture, and infrequent use. To ensure that your battery is always at its peak performance, we recommend having it inspected at least twice a year or during your scheduled oil change. Our inspection will cover possible corrosive damage, weak connections, and other factors affecting its efficiency. We'll also check the voltage levels to guarantee enough charge to last. With our help, you can have peace of mind knowing that your battery is well taken care of and always ready when you are.

Battery Replacements

It's essential to check your battery regularly to ensure it's always ready when needed. Typically, after about five years, your battery may start to lose some of its power, so it's wise to bring your Ford in for a check and possible replacement. If you wait too long, your battery could be at risk of developing corrosive damage that could become costly and potentially dangerous. Our Ford Certified Service Center offers warranty-backed batteries with the correct voltage to keep your vehicle running smoothly.

Battery Dying Warning Signs

Several indications could suggest it's time to have your battery checked or replaced. Some typical signs that your battery is on the decline may include:

  • Your vehicle will not start.
  • Dim interior and exterior lights.
  • Display or air conditioner malfunctions.
