I’ve always heard that to get your car prepared for winter you should check your battery as well as coolant levels, etc. Now I understand why. When the temperature drops, it takes more cranking amps to get your vehicle started. I learned this the hard way last week. After scraping my windshield one extra frosty morning, I jumped in my older Toyota only to find I had no power at all. Nothing, nada, zilch. Fortunately work is not too far from home so I caught the next bus zipping by the house. At the end of the day, I walked home in the bright sunshine. Just for the heck of it, I decided to try to start my car. Sure enough, it turned right over. Aha! Problem diagnosed. Of course, it also made sense when I discovered my 5-year battery had been purchased 58 months ago. I did a little research online and called several businesses in the area who sell auto batteries. The Battery Exchange was competitive and convenient, and because I try to support local enterprises, I chose them. Jim was super! He tested my battery first to make sure that was the problem and then replaced it with a new one… all in about 15 minutes. I would definitely recommend choosing Battery Exchange the next time you have electrical issues with your car.
