Auto Battery

An automobile battery is an important component that rests under your hood, since without the battery nothing is going to work, apart from the simplest mechanical processes. Without the battery it doesn't matter how fancy your vehicle is, you're not going anywhere, right? Here at Hartland Auto Service, our technicians know more than a little about car batteries.

Our skilled technicians know how to replace a battery, how to repair the necessary connections, and how to test your battery to make sure it's running as efficiently as it should. Your battery is an important part of how you get from point A to B, so trusting us with the task of checking it, repairing it, and possibly replacing it is an important part of maintaining your vehicle. 

Here are a couple of services that Hartland Auto Service can provide.

Battery Testing

Car battery testing is a simple and painless procedure but it's still important to make certain that your battery is performing as it should. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with your vehicle, but a lot of electrical issues will stem from the connections between your battery and the rest of the vehicle.

A faulty connection can make a huge difference in how your vehicle runs, or if it even wants to start. Bringing in your vehicle to get your battery tested is easy, and a lot of shops will charge little to absolutely nothing for this service. At Hartland, our mechanics will make sure that your battery is working as it should or will make the best recommendation for the customer. 

Car Battery Replacement 

Many mechanics will tell the customer that replacing a worn or damaged battery is the best possible option. Labor costs tend to be lower for a replacement, while the main component is what will cost the most. Our mechanics are trained in how to test and assess the overall efficiency of a battery and will gladly make every effort to give the customer the best possible deal when it comes to replacing their car battery.

The truth is that there isn't one type of battery that will work for every vehicle since the demand for various batteries is different depending on the type of automobile. Our mechanics know how to recommend the correct battery and will work with the customer as much as possible to make sure that they roll out with the right component. 

Car Battery Repair

It is very possible to recondition a car battery, but it's also important to note that the efficiency of the average reconditioned battery will drop significantly when it's installed in a vehicle. Typically, this won't matter as much since the battery will still work. But at Hartland, we do recommend a replacement rather than using a reconditioned battery for several reasons. However, if cost is an issue, then this option is available. Here at Hartland Auto Service, the customer's needs come first, and we stick by that.
