Whether you’re experiencing battery issues or seeking routine maintenance, our team of expert technicians is here to assist you every step of the way.
Let’s start with the basics. Your car’s battery provides the initial jolt of electricity needed to start the engine and powers various electrical components while the vehicle is running. Most vehicles on the road today are equipped with lead-acid batteries, which are designed to deliver reliable performance in a wide range of conditions.
Despite their durability, car batteries can experience wear and tear over time. It’s essential to be aware of the signs indicating potential battery issues, including:
Difficulty Starting: If you notice that your engine is slow to crank or fails to start altogether, it could be a sign of a weak or dead battery.
Dimming Lights: Dim or flickering headlights and interior lights often indicate a failing battery.
Electrical Issues: Battery problems may cause malfunctions with electrical components such as power windows, door locks, and the radio.
Corrosion: The buildup of corrosion on the battery terminals can interfere with the electrical connection and lead to performance issues.
Regular maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your car battery and preventing unexpected failures. At MARS, we offer comprehensive battery service and maintenance to keep your vehicle performing at its best. Our services include:
Battery Inspection: Our technicians will thoroughly inspect your battery, checking for signs of corrosion, leaks, and other issues.

Selecting the right car battery is essential for optimal performance and reliability. Here’s a quick guide to help you make the best choice:
Compatibility: Ensure the battery matches your vehicle’s make, model, and electrical system requirements. Consult your owner’s manual or our technicians at Meadowvale Auto Repair Specialists (MARS) for guidance.
Battery Type: When choosing between conventional flooded, AGM, or gel batteries, consider factors like longevity, maintenance, and performance characteristics.
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): To ensure reliable starting, choose a battery with a CCA rating suitable for your climate’s typical winter temperatures.
Reserve Capacity (RC): Opt for a battery with a higher RC rating for extended power in emergencies.
Brand Reputation and Warranty: To ensure quality and reliability, select a reputable brand with a generous warranty.
Maintenance Requirements: Decide between maintenance-free or maintenance-required batteries based on your preferences and lifestyle.
