Warning signs
When to bring it in
Catch it early and it usually costs less. If you notice any of these, book a check.
Slow crank
The engine turns over sluggishly, especially on cold mornings.
Battery light on
Often the alternator, not the battery. We test both.
Dim or flickering lights
A weak battery or failing alternator can't keep up.
Clicking, no start
A single click can be the starter; rapid clicks usually a flat battery.
Corroded terminals
White or green build-up stops current getting through.
Battery over 4 years old
Most batteries last 3 to 5 years in Ontario weather.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a car battery last?
Typically 3 to 5 years. Heat, short trips and cold winters shorten it. We test it free of guesswork in minutes.
Do I need a boost or a new battery?
If it boosts and then holds a charge on test, it may be fine. If it fails a load test or keeps dying, it's time to replace it.
How much is a battery replacement?
Battery replacement starts at $240 installed. The exact price depends on the battery your car needs.
Could it be the alternator instead?
Yes. A battery light while driving, dimming lights or a new battery dying quickly all point to the alternator. Our charging test checks it.
