Knowing when your car battery is about to fail can really be beneficial for you as a driver. Wait too long, and you run the risk of being stranded somewhere with a car that has a dead battery and no one around to help.
Keep an eye out for these failing battery warning signs:
- When you first start your car each day, you notice the headlights are very dim.
- The check engine light was flickering on and off, but now it stays active all the time.
- Your battery casing is swollen, and the car battery is emitting a bad smell.
- When you try to start the car in the morning, the engine cranks very slowly or needs to be jump started to get running.
Whether or not you're seeing these signs, you should visit trained service technicians whenever you suspect there's something wrong with your car. Contact the service center at Elgin Hyundai in Elgin, IL. Our staff can diagnose your vehicle's problems and do what needs to be done to get them fixed.
