How to Know When It’s Time for GMC Battery Service

Few things are more frustrating for drivers than a dead battery, which is why it’s so important to make sure a battery gets swapped out before your vehicle dies unexpectedly. How do you know when it’s time for GMC battery service here at Wilkinson Automotive?

The following are a few tips for drivers in and around Sanford, NC to help them know when it’s time to schedule battery service at your Chevrolet dealership.

Signs It’s Time to Change Your Car Battery

If you experience any of these symptoms, you may want to take your vehicle to the Wilkinson automotive department for GMC battery service.

• Dim Headlights – Since your headlights are powered by your car battery, if they aren’t shining as brightly as usual, it could be a sign that your battery is running out of juice.

• Clicking Ignition – The ignition in your vehicle works because of components powered by your battery, so if your ignition clicks while you’re trying to start it, that could be another sign that there’s a problem.

• Engine Turns Over Slowly – Drivers get accustomed to their vehicle turning over, so if it takes a little longer than you’re used to before starting or requires you to press the gas pedal to get the vehicle to start, your battery might be dying.

Don’t Discount Regular Service!

When you have your oil changed at the dealership, our service techs will test the battery in your GMC vehicle each and every time as part of the routine inspection. This ensures you can get the battery changed before it runs all the way down so you don’t end up stranded away from home.

If you’d like to have your battery checked out or replaced, stop by Wilkinson Automotive to make sure you keep your GMC vehicle running as smoothly as possible!
