Come To Us For Battery Repair

Car battery repair doesn’t always involve replacement. An experienced garage can diagnose a faulty battery to find out why it’s not operating as it should. Battery testing can save you the cost of a new battery, and that’s a service we carry out at Wimborne Tyres & Auto Centre Ltd in Dorset.

What Checks Can Be Made on a Faulty Battery?

If your car is reluctant to start in the mornings, if the check engine light is on or you notice the battery fluid level is low, then these could be signs that your car battery needs some attention. Other indicators include leaks, resulting in corrosion around the positive and negative terminals, or a swollen battery case. Finally, if you haven’t had your battery checked in three years or longer, then it’s a good idea to get it tested to make sure it is still working as it should.

Bring your car to our garage in Wimborne and our skilled mechanics will carry out full tests to help you decide whether the part simply needs a bit of attention or if a new battery is required. The kinds of things we might be looking for include checking for faults that might be causing your battery to drain faster than it should. We’ll also look at your car’s charging system and have a chat with you about how you use your car. Sometimes, only making short journeys or infrequent use can cause batteries to go flat.

Repair or Replacement?

We’ll come up with the best, most cost effective solution for the problem and allow you to decide whether you want to go ahead with the repair. If replacement is the best way forward, we can recommend the best make of battery for your needs – we favour Bosch for reliability and performance. Best of all, we’ll get you back on the road as soon as possible. All work is done on site at our garage in Wimborne.
