Questions
Good to know before you book
Still unsure? Call the shop and a service advisor will talk you through it.
How long do car batteries last in Charlotte?
Heat is hard on batteries. Three to five years is typical here, so we test yours at every visit.
Do you register batteries on newer cars?
Yes. Many newer cars need the new battery coded to the car. We include it when your model needs it.

Sample review
Slow starts every morning. They tested the alternator too, confirmed it was only the battery and had me out in 40 minutes. Waiting room could use more seats.
