The battery provides all the power your Ford vehicle needs to operate. It starts your engine, turns on the interior and exterior lights, and gives power to your vehicle's electrical system. If you have problems with your vehicle's battery, it might be time for you to bring your Ford to our service department at Harbin Motor Company Inc. in Scottsboro, AL. One of our certified professionals will inspect your battery to find the source of the issue.
How to Tell if Your Battery Needs Service
One of the most noticeable issues your battery can cause is when your vehicle will not start. The battery provides power to your vehicle's electrical system. So, if your car does not start, the battery might be dead. Also, if you notice your vehicle's lights are dim or you cannot seem to generate enough power while accelerating, you may need service.
If you notice any of these things, it is time to schedule a visit to our Ford service department. One of our experienced technicians will examine your vehicle's battery and any other engine components to find the source of the issue.
Why Get Battery Service
Regular inspections are necessary for your battery to ensure it has enough power for you to operate your vehicle. A properly maintained battery will ensure it will last for the entire length of its life expectancy. However, when your engine overheats, it can lead to reduced battery life because it must work harder to generate the power to keep your engine going. Eventually, overheating will damage your motor and battery, leading to an increase in your repair bill.
A dead car battery is not only an inconvenience, but it can also be a sign of a more significant problem. For example, it may indicate other engine parts are working harder than necessary and are draining the power from the battery.
It is best if you replace the battery every three to five years. So, please schedule an appointment with our service department and think you have battery problems. Our staff will be happy to help.
