Change Your Volvo Car's Battery in Savannah

One of the most important but often overlooked parts of keeping a car or SUV in good condition is regular battery maintenance. This essential component often gets neglected by Savannah drivers throughout the entirety of its lifespan. It's only until their engines refuse to start that many people consider the life and health of their car batteries. At Volvo Cars Savannah, we offer comprehensive battery service. Whether you need to have your battery inspected, tested, or replaced, we've got you covered.

Why Have Battery Change Service Performed?

There are several sure signs that your vehicle needs a new battery. If you open your hood and take a look at your current battery, you might find:

• A warped or misshapen case
• Cables and connections covered in corrosion
• An unpleasant smell

Other signs of an excessively old or failing battery don't require a look under the hood. If your dash lights are low, your headlights are dim, or your engine is slow to start, you likely have battery problems. These components typically last just three to four years. If you've got a high-quality battery in your Volvo vehicle and practice good battery maintenance, yours might last as long as five to six years. However, once batteries near the end of their lifespans, they could leave you stranded when you least expect it.

Falling Temperatures Can Make an Old Battery Give Out

It's especially important to see us for a battery change service in the winter. Winter can take a toll on many aspects of your Volvo SUV or sedan. Your brakes, tires, and windshield wipers are virtually guaranteed to work harder when the cold season comes rolling in. Surprisingly, low temperatures can also be incredibly hard on your battery. Most automotive batteries will lose 35 percent of their power in freezing temperatures, even if they're brand new. Worse still, the lower that temperatures drop, the more power that car batteries lose. Making sure that you've got a new and high-performing battery in your Volvo can be a smart way to start the winter.

You'll Get Seamless, End-to-End Service When Visiting Us for a Battery Change

Our battery change service aims to save you time and money. If you got excellent value from the battery that your model came with, we'd replace it with the same type. We have factory OEM batteries for every Volvo car available, including older models that still have miles to cover. We've also got upgraded options for Savannah drivers who want better or longer battery performance. Our team of mechanics can carefully explain your options and help you choose the best one for your budget, driving style, and needs.

If you aren't quite sure about whether you need a new battery, see us for a battery test. This test will determine the remaining lifespan of this component and give you important insights into its overall health. Battery tests and inspections allow us to check and clean corroded connections and worn cables. If you have concerns about your alternator, we can check these areas, too.

Don't Let a Dead Battery Catch You By Surprise

Batteries can die for various reasons. Some are simply too old to keep doing their jobs. Others get drained when drivers forget to turn their in-vehicle accessories or headlights off. Scheduling regular battery service will ensure that your Volvo turns on every time you need it to start. When you visit us for a battery change, you can also load up on accessories to make unexpected problems with your battery much easier. We've got first aid kits, emergency roadside kits, and more. Best of all, whether you're in for testing and an inspection or a full-on battery replacement, you can always look forward to fast, friendly service with a smile.
