30 YEARS OF CARING FOR YOUR CAR

Auto battery replacement is something we deal with more in South Florida than other parts of the country. Naturally, once you shut the engine hood and start the car everything heats up. Here in Hollywood FL it gets even hotter under the hood. As a result, that heat saps the life out of your car’s battery. Before it quits on you bring it in! Naturally, we can quickly check and determine the condition of your battery.

Your car simply won’t start with a dead battery. The auto battery stores energy and is recharged by the alternator. Naturally, this energy is used to power your lights, radio, power seats, and power windows. Additionally, it powers added electrical components in your car. More importantly, the battery turns the starter motor which is used to start your vehicle. Your vehicle’s electrical system powers everything from the ignition and fuel systems to add-ons such as your radio, headlights and wipers. Additionally, the battery never runs out of power because it is constantly being recharged by the alternator.
