Car Battery Service in Nederland

Why Is My Car's Battery Important?

Your car battery is a key starting system component that powers up your Ford. The battery sends a surge of electrical energy to the starter, which is able to crank the engine. A car battery also provides power to essential vehicle functions.

When it's time for a battery replacement, Philpott Ford has Motorcraft® batteries that provide the best fit and function. A Motorcraft® car battery comes with a 36-month free replacement warranty and should last five years.

How Do I Know If My Ford Needs Its Battery Replaced?

There are telltale signs of an aging Ford car battery. The most obvious is the failure to start the vehicle. You may notice a clicking sound with the ignition or a slow engine crank. Under the hood, you can check for a cracked or swollen battery case, leaking battery acid, and stains or corrosion on the battery terminals. You may also experience dim lights and electrical issues or see the battery light illuminate your Ford's dashboard. If it's been more than six years since your last battery replacement, see our Ford service center in Nederland for a battery swap.

How Often Should I Get My Car's Battery Replaced?

On average, you will need to replace your car battery every five years. Your Ford's car battery may age faster or last longer. The battery lifespan may shorten with frequent short trips around Nederland, extreme heat, and the failure to turn off lights. By testing car batteries at our Ford service center in Nederland, we can see if the battery is failing and if a battery replacement is needed.

What Will Happen If My Car Doesn't Get Its Battery Replaced?

If you don't replace your car battery, you will have starting trouble sooner than later. You won't be able to start your Ford with confidence each time you depart for Beaumont. You may need to have your Ford jump-started. Neglecting battery maintenance can lead to a damaged car battery, leaking battery acid, and corrosion. Avoid daily life disruptions of a failing car battery by replacing yours when the time comes.
