Different things bring drivers into Fields BMW of Daytona. Some are looking for a new car, while others are looking to keep their current ride in top shape. To do that, it’s helpful to know when to bring your car in. Some habits are effectively ingrained from our earliest experiences behind the wheel, like the importance of coming in for regular oil changes. But other things, like when to check the battery, are less widely known. Luckily, there are a few key things you can look out for to know when your battery might need replacement or maintenance.
When you first start your car, the battery is responsible for supplying the power to get everything started, after which other systems kick in to provide power. But if you’re noticing a lag between when you put the key in the ignition and when the car starts, it’s usually an indication that your battery is on its way out.
Issues with electrical components after the car has started, like power seats or dashboard lights, can be a similar sign. Lastly, if you pop the hood and see signs of corrosion around the battery terminals, such as a blue and white powdery buildup, it’s a good idea to bring your car in for a service appointment.
