Regular maintenance is a key component of keeping your Kia vehicle running well. And checking your battery is essential in operating your car. Without power from the battery, a vehicle will not even start.

It is not always easy to know that your vehicle battery is wearing down. If your car is slow to start and does not turn over quickly, it may be a sign that a new battery is required. Testing a battery is a simple procedure that can be done during your regularly scheduled maintenance inspection at Folsom Lake Kia.

There are a myriad of batteries available and sometimes the terminology can be confusing. For example, the battery in your car is often referred to as a lead-acid battery. When purchasing a new battery, you may hear about the "Battery Group Size." This refers to the battery size that will best fit the physical dimensions, terminal locations, and type required for your vehicle. Each battery group is assigned numbers and letters and the battery required for your automobile will be based on your vehicle's make, model, and engine type. This information may be in your owner's manual, or you can simply ask our professional service personnel for guidance.

Every year, 17 million roadside assistance calls are due to battery failure, flat tires and keys locked inside the vehicle, says AAA. Nothing is more frustrating than when your car won't start, especially when you are in a hurry. To avoid an unexpected battery failure, AAA recommends that drivers have their vehicle's battery tested when it reaches three years of age and on an annual basis thereafter. 

At Folsom Lake Kia, we proudly offer top-notch service whether your battery needs replacement or you require a tune-up. Our goal is to make your visit to our service center as simple and fast as possible.
