Toyota Battery Service in Waterford, MI
Toyota is renowned for being one of the most reliable automotive brands in America and one of the keys to having your Toyota live up to that reputation is getting professional battery services at your nearby Toyota dealer. While some parts of your car can give you an early signal when they're starting to wear out, you may not realize your battery is near the end of its life until it won't start when you're trying to get to work. That's why we encourage you to take advantage of our battery maintenance, testing and replacement services at Szott M-59 Toyota in Waterford, MI.
We offer complimentary battery testing services
One of our technicians will be happy to provide free battery testing to get a reading on the health of your battery. We can run a load test to determine if your battery meets Toyota's specifications so you can get an idea of its life expectancy. If we find that your battery isn't producing a strong enough charge, we'll recommend getting a new battery and we have plenty of great ones in stock.
Battery maintenance and repair services
Over the course of time, corrosion can gradually build up on your battery's terminals and cables as you drive around Detroit, MI, and that can lead to battery issues. We'll be happy to clean the corrosion off the terminals, tighten the cable connections and apply a protective treatment to avoid further corrosion. Just ask us to do a load test on your battery the next time you get an oil change.
Battery replacement services
When the time comes to replace your Toyota's battery, we can show you a range of options. We have a variety of quality choices in terms of power, warranties and price ranges. One of our Toyota technicians can safely remove and dispose of your old battery and install a new one, making sure that it's compatible with your Toyota's starter and electrical systems. Whether you drive a Toyota RAV4, a Tacoma, Camry, Corolla or any other Toyota model, we can help make sure you get a battery that will keep your Toyota running reliably on Bloomfield, MI roadways.
How long should a Toyota's battery last?
In general, a car's battery will last about three to five years. Of course, it's important to realize that the life of your battery can be affected by a number of factors. For example if a vehicle is frequently left out in the extreme cold or heat we experience here in Michigan, it can shorten the life of your battery. If you make a lot of short trips and do stop-and-go driving in a community like Rochester, MI, that can keep the battery from fully recharging. Keeping your Toyota in a garage and taking advantage of our battery maintenance services can help your battery last longer.
What are the signs my battery may be wearing out?
If you notice that your engine is taking a while to start, it might be the sign of a weak battery. Dimming headlights, especially when you're idling, can also be an indication of low battery voltage. If you notice flickering dashboard lights, that's another warning sign. Of course, if you're doing jump starts frequently, that's a clear signal that your battery is nearing the end of its useful life.
