How does Chicago's cold weather impact my car battery?

Chicago's harsh winters can significantly affect your car battery’s performance. Cold temperatures can reduce a battery’s capacity and make it harder for it to start your vehicle. Our service includes checking your battery's cold-cranking amps and overall condition to ensure it can handle Chicago’s winter conditions. We recommend having your battery tested before the cold weather sets in.

What should I do if my car battery is dead?

If your car battery is dead, try using a jump start to see if it will start your vehicle. If it doesn’t start or if you experience frequent battery issues, it might be time for a battery test or replacement. Our service can help with jump starts, battery testing, and swapping out a dead battery.

How often should I have my car battery tested?

It’s a good idea to have your car battery tested at least once a year, especially if you’re experiencing starting issues or if your battery is more than three years old. Regular testing can help prevent unexpected battery failures.

How does your battery swap service compare to others in the area?

From our experience and what customers tell us, AAA drivers often take too long and do not have a correct battery with them. They often just say that the battery is still good - just so they don't have to replace it.... Our battery swap service is designed to be quick, efficient, with a focus on high-quality battery and most importantly - a proper diagnostic. Before any replacement, our concierges test to determine how well the old one is holding the charge or to eliminate any other potential voltage drainage.

How long do car batteries last and what is the warranty on batteries Carrectly sources?

On average, most car batteries last about 3.5-5 years - depending on frequency of driving, quality of the battery itself, or climate. We only source our batteries from top brands, and they usually come with 36 months warranty. Warranty is pro-rated based on the time after installation, but can at times be denied by a manufacturer if there is an underlying issue causing the battery to drain.

Why A Healthy Battery Is Essential

Your car battery is a vital component of your vehicle’s electrical system, responsible for powering everything from the ignition to the headlights. Here’s why keeping it in top condition is crucial:

1. Reliable Vehicle Performance

Consistent Ignition: A strong battery ensures your car starts reliably every time, regardless of the weather.
Support For Accessories: From heated seats to navigation systems, modern cars rely on battery power for convenience and safety features.

2. Preventing Unexpected Breakdowns

Avoid Being Stranded: A failing battery can leave you stuck in inconvenient locations.
Timely Replacement Saves Time And Money: Regular checks can identify weakening batteries before they fail completely.

3. Extending Vehicle Lifespan

Reduced Wear On Other Components: A weak battery forces your alternator and starter motor to work harder, potentially shortening their lifespan.
Optimized Fuel Efficiency: A properly functioning battery supports the engine’s efficiency, helping you save on gas.

If your engine takes longer than usual to start, it could be a sign that your battery is losing power.

Electrical Issues
Malfunctioning features like power windows, radio, or interior lights may indicate a failing battery.
Dashboard Warning Light
Many vehicles display a battery warning light when there’s an issue.
