Battery service includes testing your battery’s condition, inspecting battery cables, and replacing the battery when needed. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, our technicians also check your battery during every complimentary 20-point courtesy inspection with your oil change. If replacement is needed, we install a new battery that meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications.
Difficulty starting your car - Weak cranking or slow turnover, especially in cold weather.
Dimming lights - Headlights, taillights, or interior lights don’t shine as bright.
Dashboard warning light - A battery icon on your dash means it’s time for service.
Rotten egg smell - A sulfur odor under the hood can indicate a leaking battery.
Inability to start - A completely dead battery leaves your car unresponsive.
A rapid clicking noise usually points to the battery.
A single click without cranking - Can indicate a starter problem.
If your lights work but the engine won’t start - It’s often a starter issue.
If your vehicle jump-starts but won’t hold a charge - The battery is likely the culprit.
Most car batteries last about 3-5 years, depending on usage, climate, and maintenance. Hot climates and frequent short trips tend to shorten battery life. Regular testing can help you replace your battery before it fails completely.

A car battery does much more than just start your engine. It stores energy to power electronics when the engine is off, stabilizes voltage to protect your vehicle’s computer systems, and works with the alternator to keep everything charged while you drive. Without a strong battery, essential systems like headlights, power steering, and climate control can all suffer.
Not every battery failure happens overnight. Sometimes the signs creep up slowly: sluggish starts on cold mornings, headlights that dim when you use other electronics, or the dashboard flickering when you hit the brakes. Paying attention to these subtle symptoms can help you avoid being caught off guard.
Batteries live shorter lives in extreme heat or cold. Hot weather speeds up corrosion and fluid evaporation, while cold weather reduces a battery’s ability to deliver power. Even how you drive matters - lots of short trips don’t allow the alternator enough time to recharge the battery fully.
Professional battery testing is quick, accurate, and far more reliable than waiting for a problem to appear. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, we can check voltage and load capacity in minutes. This lets you decide if your battery still has life left or if replacement is the smarter choice.
Driving with a failing battery doesn’t just risk a no-start situation. It can also strain your alternator, cause electrical glitches, and reduce overall performance. Replacing your battery before it fails completely will help with consistent power delivery, smooth starting, and better protection for your car’s electronics.
Nobody wants to deal with jumper cables in the rain or wait for a tow truck in the cold. Regular battery checks, paired with replacement every 3-5 years, dramatically lower the odds of unexpected failure. Our technicians inspect your battery during routine oil changes, so you always know where your battery stands.
