Battery Inspection and Testing

When you bring your Subaru into the dealership with battery problems, there's a chance the battery itself may not be to blame. There are a number of things that could cause the battery to become drained. A bad alternator or corrosion buildup on the battery terminals are two common ones, but there are several other possibilities, such as parasitic drain. Even when your car is turned off, some accessories still use electricity; that's what keeps your clock's time accurate, for example. But parasitic drain means that something is draining too much electricity. To see whether the battery is the cause of the problem or just an unfortunate victim, our technicians will perform tests to check the battery's voltage. This will let them know if it can hold a charge. Of course, you don't have to wait until your battery dies to have it tested. We recommend having this service performed at the beginning of fall since cool weather often affects batteries negatively.

Battery Replacement

Of course, there's a good chance that the battery itself is to blame. If the battery testing shows this to be the case, we can take care of it for you. Our technicians will remove the dead battery and dispose of it properly, saving you a trip. They'll then install a new Subaru-approved battery so that your car or SUV can reliably start once more.
