Car Batteries and Installation
Car batteries work hard behind the scenes to keep critical features of your vehicle operating properly. Everything from using power doors and windows with the touch of a button to enabling the car to start in the coldest weather comes down to your car battery. That’s why it’s so important to make a car battery check from a trusted mechanic part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. While it’s always preferable to replace the battery before it dies, sometimes a driver is caught by surprise. And that’s why SJ Tire Company offers our on-site car battery replacement service in the Denver Metro area. When you need emergency battery replacement, you can always count on us!
Battery BasicsIt’s the energy provided by the battery that makes nearly everything your vehicle can do possible. Most batteries last around five years, although some will last up to seven or eight years, or even longer, depending on where you live and your driving habits. When it’s time to consider replacing the battery, check your vehicle’s service manual for details about the battery requirements for your car or truck. Depending on the make, model, and age of your vehicle, your battery needs may be different. Climate matters, too! Living in the Denver Metro area means you’ll want a battery with enough cranking amps to overcome cold weather.
Choosing a WarrantyInvest in the warranty for your battery to ensure your purchase against defects in workmanship. Yes, it’s an added expense in addition to the car battery price, but you’ll get genuine peace of mind knowing you are cared for should your battery have any issues. If there’s a problem with the battery, it can be repaired or replaced by your vehicle service technician without you having to buy another battery. There are a variety of warranty options to meet your needs, including 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year warranties.
There’s never a good time to need a car battery replacement, and worst of all is finding that you need one when you’re stuck on the side of the road. Our on-site car battery replacement rates start at $75, depending on location. Your car battery will be safely replaced with a new one, and we’ll handle the recycling of your old battery, too. Battery installation includes a visual inspection of the battery tray and terminal ends. We can also save your car’s settings so that changing the battery doesn’t reset your radio, clock, and more. We can even handle hard-to-replace batteries with an additional $35 fee.
