Car Battery Testing and Replacement Service
Callaway's Automotive (817) 485-8189 | North Richland Hills Auto Repair Service
A car battery is essential equipment. We offer AC Delco batteries which are a high quality replacement for most vehicles. Heat is the number one reason battery life suffers. We have battery testing equipment to help evaluate the condition of your car battery.
Texas heat and freezing cold temperatures is especially hard on your car battery. We can recommend the best car battery for your vehicle, because we've lived here our entire life and "seen it all" (that along with giving consideration to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendation of the best car battery for your make and model).
Then you factor in all the components under the hood generating heat, as well just basking that battery in added summer heat and winter freezing temps, and it all adds up to your vehicle's battery absorbing a lot of the punishment of heat and cold that our region offers.
Car Battery Expected Life
As for your car battery life, on average you can expect to get four (4) years out of a good battery and two (2) years out of a cheap car battery, or lower end car battery.
typical dead Car battery symptom
Have you ever pulled up to your destination; and then when you go to start it up after awhile all you get is "click click click" in rapid succession? Most of the time that means your car battery is dead, and often at the end of its life. (The recharging system also should be evaluated if your car battery life is not in question.)
free Car battery test
We will test and recharge your car battery for free.
If as a result of our test, we find that your auto or truck battery is at the end of its life, we carry and offer for sale top of the line AC Delco car batteries, and in most cases we will have your vehicle's battery in stock.
