Battery Test and Inspection near Concord, NH

Did you know that Auto Sense North located near Concord isn’t just a used car dealership but also a place where you can receive service and repairs for your vehicle? No matter the make of your car, our knowledgeable staff can get it up and running in no time! One procedure we’d like to highlight today is a battery test and inspection.

The Purpose of the Battery

The battery inside a car serves two main purposes. First, it provides the initial spark the engine needs to begin the process of internal combustion, as gasoline cannot perform this task on its own. In other words, your vehicle won’t be able to serve its primary function without a working battery, unable to come to life no matter how many times you turn your key in the ignition. Also, if you like to go ice skating at Douglas N. Everett Arena in the winter, you can thank your car’s battery for allowing you to warm up on your way back home. That’s because electronic components inside a vehicle like the air conditioning and radio rely on electricity it provides in order to operate. If you didn’t know how much you were benefiting from a functioning battery during your day-to-day travels, now you know!

Battery Inspection

When you come to the Service Department at our dealership, we’ll be checking how the battery in your vehicle is doing in two different ways. First, we’ll perform an inspection. This procedure is exactly what it sounds like, whereby we open up the hood of your car and visually assess if there are any signs of a problem. These can range from loose wiring and some debris around the component that can be dusted off to more major issues, like a noticeable swelling. This can happen because of the cold weather that we experience here in New England. When temperatures drop, the electrolyte inside the battery can freeze, causing it to expand from the interior and ultimately crack open. If everything looks normal from the outside, however, our staff will move onto the next step, which is the testing.

Battery Test

Testing your battery regularly, especially before winter begins in full force, is important, since cold weather reduces its ability to hold a charge. This is because the chemical reaction that takes place within it is slowed down when temperatures are low. Plus, because frigid conditions thicken the oil in the engine, it tends to need more cranking power to turn over, meaning a subpar battery is likely to not be able to get the job done. In the worst case scenario, this may leave you stranded in a car that won’t turn on. But by testing your battery’s charge level with a multimeter before starting the powertrain, while cranking it, and after it has turned on, our technicians can give you an idea of whether your vehicle is ready for the winter and any upcoming season, as a matter of fact.

How Long Do Car Batteries Typically Last?

Purchased a used vehicle that needed work but they were very open and honest about things the vehicle needed and the paperwork was ready when we got their to finish the purchase. They allowed us to keep it there for a couple of days so we could get a tow off the lot on the weekend.

Awesome Job

After so many times of being rejected due to a previous repo on my credit I went to auto sense north and was greeted by Tyler he made sure I was able to get into my dream car with a price I was comfortable with. They were very understanding about financial situations and were willing to work with me. The process was very fast and very easy staff are super friendly I was in a vehicle I was not too happy with and was thinking of voluntary repo because of the amount I still owed. They told me don’t do it because it will hit your credit hard they were able to take it as a trade in and roll over very little into my loan they are very positive and do not beat around the bush and are very honest and I would recommend anyone I know to them. This dealership is by far the best experience iv had and I was not sitting there for 8 hrs beating around the bush to try and just take my money and leave me in a car I didn’t want. They break down everything for you and even tell you about fees that you may see which most dealers WILL NOT TELL YOU!!! After years of being turned down they got me into my dream car and I couldn’t be more happy. From now on I am going to auto sense!!!

I recommend going here for a car 100%.

After having terrible experiences with other dealerships (misrepresentations, broken promises, disorganization etc…) I met with Tyler and the rest of the team here at Autoserv Chichester location and was completely pleasantly surprised. Not only did they deliver on promises but the process was fun, laid back, honest and quick. They are the ONLY dealership where my time wasn’t wasted and the interest rate was 5-6% less than pre-approvals at other dealerships. I was put into an amazing like-new car with everything and more that I could ask for. Hands down I recommend Tyler and the management team here at Autoserv North in Chichester, you will not be disappointed and will have tons of fun while there. Thank you all for such a pleasant and honest experience. I will see you when it’s time to refinance!!!
