Your vehicle can’t start without a working battery, so it goes without saying that having a battery that runs is essential. On top of starting the engine, your battery also powers all the electrical components, including the door lock mechanisms and infotainment system. When the weather is poor it’s even more important to have your battery in top condition, as being stranded on the side of the road or in a parking lot can make life much trickier. Luckily, our team of GM-certified technicians in our service department at Yellowknife Motors can help.
Importance of Battery Repair Servicing
3 Key Signs That Your Battery Needs to be Serviced
If you notice the following signs, take the time to book in our with team of trained technicians, as they indicate it’s time to get your battery serviced:
- It takes a while for your engine to turn over (revving for longer than a few seconds before turning over is a clear sign that the battery’s power is failing)
- You often have to jump start your vehicle (jump starting your vehicle is usually necessary when the battery is on its last legs, as typically a battery should be able to hold enough of a charge to start without needing a jump)
- It smells bad around your battery (batteries sometimes emit sulfuric acid when they start to die, which is not only a fire hazard, but also smells quite strong)
