Get Reliable Battery Service at Szott Ford in Holly, MI
Your car's battery is an important component that powers the engine, electrical systems, and onboard computers. Over time, car batteries wear down and become less effective at holding a charge, especially with exposure to the extreme temperatures we experience here in Michigan. Getting regular battery inspections and service at Szott Ford in Holly, MI is crucial to ensure your vehicle starts reliably and performs optimally.
Signs Your Car Battery Needs Service
When your battery is failing, there are common indications that you should look out for.
- A slow engine crank when starting the car
- Dimming headlights
- Issues with electrical components like the radio or power windows
- An illuminated battery warning light on the dash
Ignoring these warning signs can lead to unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. A failing battery can strain your vehicle's alternator and other electrical components, potentially causing damage if left unchecked. That's why it's essential to have your battery tested at the first sign of trouble.
The Battery Replacement Process
If your vehicle ends up needing a new battery, the replacement process is straightforward when performed by our professionals. We'll safely remove the old battery, inspect the tray and connections for any corrosion, and secure the new battery in place. Any necessary programming of the vehicle's computer system is also performed to ensure proper communication with the new battery.

Attempting a DIY replacement risks damage to the electrical system and can trigger dashboard warning lights if not performed correctly.
