Free Battery Test with Every Visit
Wondering if your battery is the reason for your problems? You can receive free battery testing with every visit. With industry tools, our technicians measure aspects such as your battery’s voltage, cranking amps, and its overall health. If your battery is doing its job, we’ll tell you the facts instead of replacing it.
If the battery installation is required, we’ll let you know and give you the option to either repair it on the spot or have a closer look at the alternator, starter, and charging system to prevent recurring problems.
A failing battery doesn’t always die overnight—it gives off warning signs. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to bring your car in for a proper auto battery service:
- Your car cranks slowly when starting
- Dashboard lights dim or flicker
- Electrical components behave erratically
- You hear clicking when you turn the key
- You needed a jumpstart service recently
- It’s been 3–5 years since your last battery replacement
Don’t wait for a total breakdown. Let Sal’s help you stay ahead of battery issues and avoid being stranded.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a car battery last?
Most car batteries last between 3 to 5 years depending on usage, climate, and vehicle demands. We recommend testing annually after the 3-year mark.
Can I just get a jumpstart and keep driving?
A jumpstart service is a temporary fix. If your battery is failing, driving without replacing it could leave you stranded. We always suggest getting a test after a jump.
How do I know if the issue is my battery or alternator?
Our diagnostic process includes testing both. If your battery tests fine but keeps dying, the alternator or another part of the charging system could be at fault.
Do you replace batteries on all vehicles?
Yes! Our battery installation service covers most domestic and foreign vehicles, including trucks, SUVs, and hybrids.
