Preventive Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance and Your Vehicle’s Electrical System.

Many problems with electrical systems can be avoided with a little bit of care and preventive maintenance. Here are a number of helpful tips:

Tip No. 1:  Periodically check the battery and its connections to make sure they are clean.  Cleaning battery terminals and cables are a simple process, but you may not want to do that yourself.  We can take care of it for you when you bring your vehicle in for a service.

Tip No. 2:  If you have to jump start your car, never use another car that is running.  Instead, jump start your car using the other vehicle’s battery power alone.

Tip No. 3:  Before turning the key in the ignition, turn off all the components that are a major drain on the electrical system, like the heating/air conditioner and stereo.

Tip No. 4:  Batteries typically last about 4 years.  Replace your battery when it is approaching this age.  We can test if for you to let you know if the battery should be replaced.
