With most people still staying home more through the winter weather and ongoing pandemic, your car may be sitting in the driveway or in a parking space for days on end without being driven.
Long periods of inactivity often result in a dead car battery, which is the last thing you want when you are going out to get groceries or other essential services. And what if a dead battery were to prevent you from driving during an emergency?
With that in mind, AAA is proud to be an essential service provider for all motorists, whether your car stalls out on the highway or even if your parked vehicle has a dead battery.
Are you unsure if your battery needs service? Here are some signs that you might be at risk for a battery-related breakdown:
- Your vehicle cranks slowly when trying to start
- You hear a grinding, clicking or buzzing when you turn the ignition on
- Your vehicle has stalled
- Your headlights dim when you are idling but brighten when you rev the engine
- Your battery is more than three years old
Simply contact AAA at 1-800-836-2582 or request service online and we’ll send a truck equipped to test and, if necessary, install a new battery on the spot.
Our state-of-the-art battery testers, specifically designed for mobile use, eliminate the guesswork out of whether you need a jump start or if a new battery is required.
