Battery Test and Replacement near Columbia, SC

How Often Should I Replace My Battery?

Your battery delivers a pertinent spark each time you turn your key in the ignition, which is why it is so important to make sure that it is operating in a healthy manner. If you have recently heard your engine struggle to come to life, swing by Gerald Jones Mazda today for a test and possible replacement. This way, you can avoid having to call a friend for a jump start!

Red Flags

Before we tell you how often you should have this essential service completed, let’s go over the warning signs that will let you know you are overdue. This way, you can be prepared for anything that is thrown your way. For starters, if your engine struggles to start every morning, then this is it directly telling you that it isn’t maintaining an optimal charge. Another thing to be on alert for is if you have had to call AAA or a family member to swing by and give you a jumpstart. While you might get your vehicle started eventually, this still means that your battery has to rely on the strength of another component to get up and running. Lastly, you can always take a look beneath the hood to assess the situation yourself. If you notice a swollen battery casing, give us a call to schedule a visit.

Timeline

Now that you know a few warning signs, we will go over the window of time you should follow to avoid them altogether. Before that, we will let you know of a few ways that you can extend your battery’s lifespan. To begin, we suggest getting all of your errands taken care of in one fell swoop. The reason is if you are making multiple short trips throughout the day, then you are using your battery’s energy more often. You should also make sure that it is clean and minimize heat exposure to keep it running for a longer period of time. Lastly, there are a few things that you simply can’t control, and one of those factors is the climate that you live in. With the extreme heat that we experience down south, your battery might degrade quicker. That is why we suggest that you pull into our Service Department at least twice per year.

I first contacted Mr. PJ Jones over Cargurus, communication is very prompt and Mr. PJ gave me a competitive price and fee schedule. It is a bit nervous because I am from SC and will travel over 2 hours to get to their dealership, Gary the sales person makes the paperwork process very smooth. Upon arrival at Augusta, the buying process is very quick, I got the paperwork done in less than 20 minutes the most. To my surprise, whatever Mr. PJ quoted me over email is exactly what I am getting. No hidden fee, changes at the last minute. It is great to see people do business that way. The only small thing is they put a sticker on the back of the car which seems way to big, be nice if they can put smaller sticker that blends in better with the vehicle or just don't put the sticker on their.

Easy check in and check out. Friendly service.

I went with my sister to sell my mother's car. We were treated respectfully and given a fair price. It was not resale value, but it was fair for a trade in value.

Kevin was so kind and seemed genuine. Before my appointment, I kept having to reschedule my appointments. He offered to let me use his car if I needed it. People are not kind anymore. That was the nicest thing anyone has said or offered to do in quite some time. He also gave me a discount. I was very grateful for. He is willing to help in anyway possible. He made my experience with Mazda EXCELLENT! Thank you Kevin. God bless you!

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. I worked with the dealer via text and phone and lined up great pricing and a trade in value (numbers checked vs. Kelly Blue Book) as well as approved 5 year/ 0% financing the day before I before I went to the dealership. I had to drive from Charleston to Augusta because none of the Charleston or Columbia dealers could even get close to this deal. When I got there, they didn't try to change any of the terms or upsell me anything else. They just showed me all the features on my new car, had me sign the paperwork, and I was out of there in 40 minutes total. Plus I LOVE my new CX5!!! This is how car buying should be.

Great folks, Great Place!
