A car battery is the one of the main things that keeps the car charged and allows it to drive. Sometimes you can jump batteries so the car will at least get you home, but even with a jump the battery doesn’t always hold a charge. There are some signs you should look for if you are in Mystic and think you may need a new battery.
Car doesn’t start
The biggest sign of needing a new battery is if you get in the car, turn the key, and it doesn’t start. Batteries in Mystic are not hard to find and they are sold at local auto stores. There could be other reasons that the car won’t start, but you should always check the battery first.
Lights left on
If you come out of the house in your morning and notice you left your lights on all night long the battery may be dead. This will require a jump-start from another car, but it doesn’t mean the battery needs to be replaced. Batteries in mystic need jump-starts quite often, and it is a pretty common occurrence no matter what type of car you drive.
Constantly jumping the car
If you spend more time finding someone to jump your car than you do actually driving it, you probably need a new battery. Don’t wait until the car completely stops working to get a new one. Head over to your local auto shop and have them get a battery for you.
Dimmed lights while driving
If your lights seem like they are out of whack while you are driving that’s a sign of a battery losing power. You know how your car is supposed to look and drive, so if it feels or looks any different you should go get it checked.
Check engine/battery light
This is pretty self-explanatory. If your check engine or battery light is on, it’s time to replace it. A check engine light doesn’t always mean you need a new battery, but it’s a good place to start.
If you have a bad battery it is not the end of the world, it is easy to find batteries in Mystic. Get it looked at by someone at Bumper to Bumper. Your car will drive like new once the battery is properly installed.
