Seek Quality Battery Service at South Bay MINI in Torrance

Do you have a problem starting your car or a battery that won't hold a charge? We can help you at South Bay MINI. When the battery doesn't hold a charge, it can mean a few things. Either the battery is defective or simply old and needs a replacement, or it could have become corroded around the terminals hindering its performance.

If your battery drains fast, our technicians in Torrance will check all the switches, the alternator, and other connecting parts to find the root cause of the battery problem. If the battery has reached the end of its life, we'll help find a replacement!

Your vehicle battery has a finite life cycle. Our team at South Bay MINI near Redondo Beach will use a voltmeter to test your battery before they can determine the state of your battery. You do not have to wait until your battery goes dead.

Let our experts test the battery during routine vehicle maintenance or come in specifically for battery aid. From there, we can recommend a replacement if the battery voltage starts dwindling. If the battery capacity is below 12 volts, it's time for a replacement - it takes a battery between three and five years, or excessive use, to drop to that level. Here are signs to watch for when your battery needs a replacement:

  • It won't charge and instead produces rapid clicks- If the battery fails to charge, you will have a problem starting your vehicle, and eventually, it will stop functioning.
  • The battery won't hold a charge- Although you are able to jumpstart your vehicle, you inch closer to the battery failing you when you need it most. Multi jumpstarts due to a dying battery can inevitably damage your vehicle.
  • The battery voltage on the voltmeter is low- The test simply lets you know the battery is very weak.
