Schedule Battery Replacement & Electrical Diagnosis in Arlington, TX

A few essential components are required for your vehicle to start up properly.  One of which is the battery.  Every vehicle - including gas-powered and hybrid-electric models - relies on getting its energy directly from the battery.  If you're in the market for a battery swap or system diagnosis, the experts at Vanguard Kia are factory-trained to help you manage your electrical service needs.

Battery Swap, Replacement & Testing

Battery issues are omnipresent for drivers in Arlington, TX.  The more time you spend behind the wheel, the more likely you are to experience a lingering or potential problem with your car battery.  If your battery dies or appears sluggish as you try and start your vehicle, you may be due for a replacement.

At Vanguard Kia, we're trained to offer the epitome of comprehensive battery care, including swaps, replacements, and regular testing.  If your vehicle is having trouble starting or you notice your engine sputtering as it fights to turn over, you may be due for a replacement battery. Using an electronic multimeter, our service staff can accurately measure the voltage running through your battery to determine whether or not you have a bad cell.

Signs Your Battery is Dead or Dying

Every driver's worst fear is getting behind the wheel to go to work, only to realize that your car won't start because the car battery is dead.  But don't feel like you're the only one.  Dead batteries have been known to deter many drivers in Arlington, but that doesn't mean you have anything to fear.  What it does mean, however, is that you should know how to tell if your battery is dead or on the verge of dying.

Here are some popular warning signs to look out for, including:

1. Engine lockup - no click, no start
2. Weak electrical connection via the radio, A/C, or headlights
3. Battery check engine light starts flashing on the dashboard
4. Excessive corrosion caking the outside of the cell
5. And more!

Battery Service Safety Tips

Before you go poking around under the hood of your car, it's important to know that your battery carries a powerful electrical current.  If your battery is wired improperly or shows bad signs of corrosion, it could potentially shock you if you don't know how to diagnose the issue safely.

To help you get started understanding the dangerous implications of working with your battery, our team has compiled a list of safety tips whenever you're face-to-face with your car battery, including:

• Ensure your battery is disconnected (at least the negative terminal) before you go messing with any wires
• Keep the positive and negative battery terminal connectors far from touching each other
• Wear safety goggles to avoid flair ups and sparks from charging towards your face
