As the colder months approach, ensuring your vehicle remains reliable is more critical than ever. At GMR Automotive, we emphasise the importance of pre-winter battery check-ups to prevent any unforeseen breakdowns and to maintain your vehicle’s performance.

It’s a well-known fact that cold weather can significantly impact the performance of your car battery. The lower temperatures reduce the battery's capacity to hold a charge, putting extra strain on it when starting the car. This can lead to a decreased lifespan and, in some cases, failure to start altogether. This is a concern for batteries that are over three years old, as their efficiency starts to diminish. Regular testing of these batteries ensures your vehicle starts through the colder months.

The Impact of Cold Weather on Car Batteries

At GMR Automotive, we cannot stress enough the importance of regular battery checks, especially before the winter sets in. A battery that is over three years old is likely to have undergone some wear and tear, reducing its performance and reliability. By conducting regular checks, potential issues can be identified early on, preventing the inconvenience of being stranded due to battery failure. 

Rest assured that if you have your car serviced by us, we will automatically include a Battery Test and visual inspection each time. If the battery doesn't' pass the test then we will advise you and with your approval install a new one.

If you're uncertain about your battery's condition, our experts at GMR Automotive can assist. We have the tools, such as a Battery Load tester, to quickly check your battery's health. If necessary, we can replace the battery to ensure your vehicle keeps running. With a range of high-quality Century batteries on hand, we can promptly replace your battery, minimising any inconvenience.

So as the temperatures drop, don't let your car battery's health slide. At GMR Automotive, we are committed to ensuring your vehicle is winter-ready with reliable batteries. Contact us today to schedule your pre-winter battery check-up and stay ahead of the cold.
