What’s Included in Our Battery Service

Say goodbye to unexpected stalls or sluggish starts and hello to peace of mind. At Kwik Kar Lube & Auto Repair Carwash, we specialize in expert battery care to ensure your vehicle powers up strong, fast, and reliably, every time you turn the key. Here’s what’s included:

  • Battery Health Evaluation
    A comprehensive evaluation of your battery’s condition, assessing its charge level and ability to retain power. We use advanced diagnostic tools to measure your battery’s voltage output, reserve capacity, and cold-cranking amps. This helps us determine how much life your battery has left.
  • Starting & Charging System Inspection
    A detailed inspection of the vehicle’s starting and charging system, including the starter, alternator, and voltage regulator. It’s not always the battery that’s the problem, sometimes it’s your starter, alternator, or voltage regulator. We test the entire system to ensure your power source is working in harmony.
  • Terminal Cleaning & Corrosion Protection
    Cleaning of the battery connections and cable ends, followed by the application of corrosion protection. Corroded terminals can lead to poor connectivity. We clean your cable ends and battery posts, then apply an anti-corrosion solution to protect against future build-up.
  • Battery Replacement (If Needed)
    Installation of a new battery if purchased from us. If your battery needs replacing, we’ll help you select the best match based on your vehicle specs, driving habits, and power needs. We’ll install it quickly and professionally.

Choosing the Right Battery for Your Vehicle

Not all batteries are created equal. At Kwik Kar, we help you choose based on:

  • Manufacturer-recommended specs
  • Your driving habits (short trips vs. long hauls)
  • Accessory load (sound systems, lighting, tech devices)

Many customers prefer batteries with more power than the minimum requirements set by the manufacturer, opting for enhanced performance and reliability. To select the best battery for your vehicle, consider the manufacturer’s specifications, your driving habits, and any additional accessories like extra lighting, upgraded stereos, or CB radios. Kwik Kar offers one of the most extensive selections of automotive batteries available. We recommend scheduling battery maintenance every 12,000 miles or 12 months to ensure optimal performance.

Commonly Asked Questions

How do I know if my battery is going bad?
If your car struggles to start, lights flicker when idling, or you hear clicking sounds instead of cranking, it’s time for a battery check. Bring it in and we’ll test it for free.

How long do car batteries typically last?
Most car batteries last 3–5 years, but extreme weather, short trips, or high accessory usage can shorten their lifespan. Annual checks help catch problems early.

Can I just clean the terminals myself?
While cleaning can help with corrosion, it won’t fix underlying issues like low voltage or a failing alternator. Let us inspect the full system so you’re not caught off guard.

What if I recently replaced the battery but the car still won’t start?
It could be the starter motor, alternator, or wiring. That’s why we check the entire charging system, not just the battery. We’ll find the real issue fast.

Are high-performance batteries worth it?
Yes, especially if you have power-hungry accessories or want maximum reliability in all conditions. Many customers opt for more power than the minimum for better durability.
