Battery Diagnostics & Replacements in Auburn, AL

As you drive around Opelika, Auburn, and the rest of Alabama, you may not give a second thought to your battery as long as your vehicle runs as it should. However, if you’ve ever been stranded on the side of the road or stuck in your driveway with an engine that won’t start, you know how important regular battery checkups are. The service team at King Honda Car World can take care of your battery.

Indicators that You’re Having Battery Issues

If you turn the key in the ignition and nothing happens, the first assumption is that it’s a problem with your battery. You may be able to get a friend or family member to get the engine started if you have jumper cables. If your vehicle runs after getting jumped, it’s a good indication that your battery is the issue. It’s best to drive your vehicle to King Honda Car World and have our service team test the battery. We’ll let you know if it’s time to replace the battery with a new one.

One of the most common situations is draining the battery by leaving a light on or a door ajar. If this is the case, the battery will charge after it’s been jumped, and you won’t have any other problems (as long as you don’t leave the light on or the door open). In other cases, the battery won’t hold a charge because it’s at the end of its life. Sometimes, other starter system components fail, which is why the battery can’t hold a charge.

When you bring your vehicle to our service department, we’ll test the battery first. We’ll also inspect the cables and connections to ensure they are firmly attached. Our technicians check the spark plugs, fuses, ignition switch, starter, and alternator to determine where the problem lies. We’ll create a written estimate for the cost of repairs.
