FAQ battery & starters

How long does a car battery last?

In general, car batteries should last 3-4 years. Some batteries, however, could last as long as 6 years while others need to be replaced after a year or two.

How can I check my car battery's age?

You can determine the age of your car battery by checking its label. This label is typically on the side of the battery. Look for a letter and a digit. The letter indicates the month the car battery was manufactured (A = January, B = February, etc.) The following digit will indicate the year the battery was manufactured (0 = 2010, 1 = 2011, 2 = 2012, etc.).

    I recently had an appointment for some factory scheduled maintenance. Not only did I save a lot of money, I learned what was needed and what could wait. The team was very informative and easy to work with.
