Cold weather can take a serious toll on your car’s battery, leaving you stranded at the most inconvenient times. When temperatures drop, your battery has to work harder to turn over the engine, which can lead to a loss of charge or even complete failure. This is why it’s so important to keep your car battery in top condition, especially as winter approaches.

Our team is here to provide expert checks and replacements, ensuring you stay on the road no matter the weather. Whether your battery is struggling to hold a charge or you’re just looking for reassurance that it’s in good shape, we’re ready to help.

• Slow engine cranking when starting your car, especially in the morning or during cold weather.
• Dim or flickering headlights, which can indicate reduced power output.
• A dashboard warning light, often showing a battery symbol, illuminating while driving.
• Electrical issues such as malfunctioning power windows, central locking, or radio.
• Corrosion or build-up around the battery terminals, which can interfere with proper connections.
• A swollen or deformed battery case, often caused by extreme temperatures.
• Your battery is more than three to five years old, as most batteries begin to lose reliability after this period.
