Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.
4. Review and Approval

5. Work Performed or Scheduled
Most work can be completed immediately, or scheduled based on parts and customer availability.
Did You Know: The older a car battery is, the more susceptible it is to extreme temperature changes.
Signs You Need A New Battery
Understanding when your battery needs a replacement can save you from unexpected breakdowns.
Here are some common indicators that your car battery may be failing:
- Slow Engine Crank: If your engine takes longer to start than usual, this could signal a weakening battery.
- Dashboard Warning Light: A battery light on your dashboard often indicates battery or alternator problems.
- Low Battery Fluid Level: Batteries with transparent casing allow you to check fluid levels easily. Falling below recommended levels is a red flag.
- Swelling or Bloated Battery Case: Excessive heat can cause your battery case to swell, which negatively impacts battery life.
In addition to these signs, it's crucial to be aware of the age of your battery. Most batteries have a lifespan of about 3 to 5 years, depending on climate conditions and driving habits. Regular battery checks can help identify potential issues before they become serious problems. Our experts at Christian Brothers Automotive West Galleria are adept at providing comprehensive battery health assessments.
