The battery is one of the most crucial parts of your vehicle. If your battery fails, so does everything else. Without a battery, there is no spark, and without a spark, your vehicle isn't going anywhere. This is why keeping your battery healthy is important. Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever, and your vehicle's battery will in time need to be replaced. Whether it has simply run its course or its longevity has been compromised by any number of external factors, if you are in need of a new battery and are located in the greater Portsmouth area, 2 Brothers Garage is here to help.

 

While the most common way to find out that your battery is dead is the inability to fire up your vehicle, there are other, easy to detect signs that it might be on its last legs. Look out for symptoms such as:

• Your engine cranking slower than usual
• Needing to jump start your vehicle to get it running
• Warning lights on your dashboard not going out once your engine is running
• Certain electrical components, such as the clock or radio, aren't working
• Your fuses keep blowing

 

If you have noticed any of these symptoms, 2 Brothers Garage strongly recommends that you schedule an appointment without delay so that one of our professional mechanics may run a diagnostic test on your battery and determine whether it needs to be repaired or replaced. Delaying in having your battery inspected may lead to your being stranded without battery power, which is always less than convenient.

 

Should you find yourself in that very situation, do not despair. Give 2 Brothers Garage a call and we will gladly come pick you and your vehicle up and drive you to our garage and body shop as soon as we possibly can. From there, we will be able to let you know exactly what needs to be done to get your vehicle back up and running so that you can go back to your daily activities as quickly as possible.

 

Faulty batteries do not always need to be replaced, and when they do, you need to ensure that you are choosing the right battery for your vehicle. The size and voltage of all batteries varies depending on its intended usage. Trying to change your battery yourself without the proper experience or know-how may mean that you are replacing a healthy battery, wasting money on a new one, or that you will end up purchasing the wrong kind of battery for your vehicle, which may end up being costly as well as time consuming. Let the experts help you with your battery troubles.
