Change the Battery on Your Ford Before You're Caught Stranded

Unfortunately, batteries need to be replaced every three to five years. Your best bet is to have a dealership in Sebring that you can trust, to take it to and get a good opinion on how long your battery is likely to last. It may be time to have your battery replaced before it goes bad, and you're left stranded at night. At Alan Jay Ford, we want to be that dealership that you trust your vehicle with.

Why You Should Trust Us

When you need someone to take care of the battery in your car, you want someone who already knows your vehicle. We know the Ford brand at Alan Jay Ford, and how long batteries typically last. We can hook your battery up to a machine that will read how much life is left, so that you can change it before you're stranded in the middle of nowhere on a cold night. Our service techs also know how to change the battery when you decide that it's time to replace it. They can give you advice on which battery you should replace your old one with, too.

When to Get Your Vehicle in Right Away

If you don't replace your battery far enough in advance, you might notice some signs right before it dies. For instance, you might notice that the ignition doesn't turn over right away. While this could be several things, if you ever notice this sign, there's a good chance that this is one of the last times that your ignition will turn over without changing to a new battery. Dim headlights, backfiring, and needing to press that gas pedal to get the car to start are some other common signs that your battery is almost dead.
