The car battery plays a vital role as it provides power to start your vehicle. It also plays the role of a surge protector for the vehicle’s electrical components and helps support some of the electrical components. If you are looking for reliable battery replacement in or near Roanoke, VA, we welcome you to bring your vehicle to us at Southern Team Volkswagen’s service center. We are an official Volkswagen dealership and service center for the region. In Roanoke, VA, our facility is only a short drive from Hollins, Cave Spring, Salem, and Vinton.
The car battery has a limited life span and requires a replacement when it goes weak and is not able to hold a charge. Ideally, you want to get the battery replaced before it goes weak. This helps protect the battery system and electrical components of your vehicle and minimizes the risk of being stuck with a dead battery. If a replacement is required, we will safely remove the old battery and install a high-quality battery made for Volkswagen vehicles.
When the battery is nearing the end of its lifespan, it will struggle to start the engine of your vehicle. A common sign of a weak battery is a slow crank, as it’s not able to provide adequate current to start the engine. The dimming of the headlights or clicking noise during ignition are other common signs of a weak car battery. In some cases, our technicians might be able to extend the life of the battery by charging it, but if the battery is not able to hold a charge, you will need a new battery. If you have had to jump-start your vehicle more than once, that is another potential sign of a battery that requires replacement.
We highly recommend you don’t ignore a weak battery, as it can go dead at any time. Allow our expert technicians at Southern Team Volkswagen to perform battery testing and inspection to determine if a new battery is required. We can also check the alternator, wires, and other parts of the battery system. You can either stop by your facility in Roanoke, VA, to get a new battery installed, or you can contact us online or by phone to schedule an appointment.
