If the engine runs fine after jump starting your car then more than likely you need a battery replacement. The main cause for a car breakdown is a battery failure.
A car battery is responsible for many tasks including:
Provides starting power
Provides the power to run electrical components
Everything fails if your battery is not working properly
We don’t recommend to run your car without a new battery or a decent quality battery. In doing so you are causing to much stress on the alternator which will eventually fail. The end result is a bigger repair bill. We don’t want that for you. Always replace the car battery in time.
For batteries older than three years, we recommend to perform a test regularly. Because the life expectancy of any battery is dependent on climate conditions and under hood temperatures. The battery can be damaged and fail you before its expected lifespan which is 3 to 5 years in average.
We are constantly training our staff and are updating our tools to provide you with the best solution possible for you battery needs.
Keep your vehicle running and avoid costly repairs by bringing your car in for a battery replacement at Peter’s Auto Centre.
Our Car Battery Replacement Service Includes:
Running a computerized battery test
If needed replacement of a new car battery
Disposing of the existing battery the right way
Cleaning the battery-cable terminals from corrosion
You might be asking how often should I get my battery checked? We recommend a regular annual inspection to catch the problem before it occurs. Also, remember that the average life expectancy of a battery is 3 to 5 years.
Professional, Honest, and High-Fidelity Service
I recently brought my 2002 Dodge Sport Caravan to Peter’s for an extensive engine and brake overhaul. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this was a “no-bullshit” operation. Peter was exceptionally polite and transparent. After the work was completed, he personally walked me to the vehicle and showed me exactly what had been done—I could see the new gaskets, spark plug wires, and the new muffler. The engine is running as smoothly as it did years ago. As someone who values precision and clear communication, I was very impressed with the professional standards of the entire team. They handled the tire swap and brake service seamlessly. It’s a huge relief to find a local shop in Kitchener that delivers high-quality work at a fair price. I’ll be back for any future maintenance on my vehicles. Highly recommended. — Brian.
