At Oxmoor Mazda, we want your Mazda to last and serve you well through the years. Driving in Louisville, KY or Lyndon, St Matthews, Jeffersontown, or Middletown can take a toll on your vehicle if you skip regular maintenance. Our dealership offers regular maintenance, so you can drive in to visit us to take care of your CX-5, Mazda 3, Mazda 5, CX-9, CX-3, or any other Mazda you drive. One of the least frequent services used, battery replacement, sometimes gets forgotten until it is too late and you need a tow truck to come to pull you into town.
The battery provides power for many of the vehicle’s components. Without the battery, your car or truck cannot start. Just like the batteries that you use in a flashlight, your vehicle loses power over time. Although it recharges as you drive the car, eventually, the battery can no longer hold a charge and must get replaced.
The typical vehicle battery lasts between four and six years. A battery can die more quickly than that if you drive in harsh weather conditions, your driving habits, and the type of vehicle you have. When you come in for other services, we typically test your battery to determine its health. This gives you a warning as the battery begins to age so you can have it replaced before it dies. When you visit us for maintenance services, we run a few battery diagnostics. These checks include:
When we replace your battery, we remove the old one by first disconnecting the leads to it. Our technician then lifts it out of its housing. The new, compatible battery, we nestle into the battery bay, and we reconnect the leads to the new battery.
Aside from age, you need to replace your battery if it continually loses charge. A dead or dying battery queues us to check for other problems first if the battery has not yet reached the age of four years. It could point to a problem with the alternator which charges the battery or with the alternator diode.
Oxmoor Mazda provides trained, experienced, manufacturer-certified technicians to perform maintenance and repairs. We use only OEM parts, meaning your vehicle gets an OEM Mazda battery and have a parts and accessory store onsite with car batteries for sale. When you visit us, you can leave your vehicle and continue your business day suing our shuttle service or a rental car. You could also enjoy a cup of coffee in our waiting lounge and keep in touch using our complimentary WiFi. Call us today for an appointment when you need to find car battery replacement near me.
