Car Battery Testing & Replacement in Harahan

Signs your battery is getting weak

• Slow cranking, especially in the morning
• Clicking when you try to start it
• Dim lights at idle or flickering dash lights
• Needing a jump more than once
• Corrosion on the terminals or a swollen battery case

Test first, then replace

A dead battery doesn't always mean a bad battery. A weak alternator, a corroded cable or something draining power overnight can all leave you stuck with a perfectly good battery. We test the battery, charging system and starter so you only pay for what actually fixes it.

The right battery for your car

If it needs a new one, we put in the right size and type, clean the terminals and make sure it's charging properly. Cars with stop-start usually need a specific battery type, and some need the new battery registered to the car's computer. We take care of that too.

Estimates are free, and you get one in writing before any work starts. Qualifying repairs are covered by our 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty, and financing is available for qualifying repairs if the bill is more than you planned on this month.

Questions we get

How long do car batteries last around Harahan?

Heat shortens battery life, so they usually wear out sooner here than in cooler places. A quick test tells you where yours stands.

My car started after a jump. Is the battery bad?

Not necessarily. The alternator might not be charging it, or something could be draining it. We test all of it before replacing anything.

Can you replace the battery on a car with stop-start?

Yes. We use the battery type the car calls for and register it to the car's computer if it needs that.
