Auto Tech's Advice on Car Battery Maintenance in Martinsville, VA

At Auto Tech in Martinsville, VA, we recommend having your car battery checked at least twice a year. One of those checks should always be before winter. Cold weather can significantly reduce your battery's output, making it harder to start your engine. When temperatures drop, the battery’s amperage decreases, giving you less power to turn over the engine. To make matters worse, cold weather causes engine oil to thicken, further straining the battery.

At Auto Tech, we offer a free battery and starting system check every time you come in for a service like an oil change. Our mechanics will ensure that your battery is securely mounted and not at risk of moving around—a key safety concern. We also inspect the connections for tightness and corrosion, and if possible, we’ll check the battery fluid levels.
