Car Battery Replacement Process

Featuring several bays equipped with the latest industry technology, customers can trust their vehicles at the Vienna, VA, location no matter the make or model.

Our ASE Certified Mechanics and ASE Master Mechanics begin the process by visually inspecting your vehicle’s starter system. Next, we check cable connections and starter mounting bolts and brackets for corrosion, fraying or breaks. Lastly, we’ll measure the amount of electricity needed to turn the engine over during cranking through a starter electrical draw test. After comparing this number to your vehicle’s manufacturer specs, a Virginia Tire & Auto mechanic will determine if a new battery is needed.

Why do you need routine car battery service?

On average, a car battery lasts between three and five years. However, that lifespan can be shortened even further if your battery is exposed to extreme conditions or poor driving habits. Ultimately, the longer you drive with a car battery, the higher the odds are that you’ll get stranded with a dead one.

It’s important to understand whether or not your battery is putting out the correct amount of amperage to avoid sudden car battery failure. According to the Car Care Council, vehicle owners should have their car batteries tested periodically. Virginia Tire & Auto of Vienna recommends having your battery inspected every time you bring your vehicle in for routine service—approximately every 7,500 miles.

The truth is, a car battery will eventually conk out. Look for the following indicators that you need a new battery:

  • Corrosion, or white build up around the positive, “+,” and negative, “-,” connections
  • Slow engine crank
  • Check engine light
  • Swollen or bloated battery case
  • Battery leak
  • Low battery fluid level
  • Battery older than five years

Did you know?

Your car battery comes with a “born on” date. Normally, it’s the first letter and the first number of the inscribed code. The letter corresponds to a month — for example, A is January, B is February, C is March, D is April and so on. The number corresponds to the final digit of the year – 1 would be 2011, 2 would be 2012, 3 would be 2013, 4 would be 2014, etc.
