As you travel around Columbus in your Mirage, Eclipse Cross, or Outlander, every electrical component, including the engine, depends on the battery! Get directions to Birmingham Mitsubishi for a battery test and inspection in order to ensure that your vehicle remains in prime working order.

Most car batteries need to be replaced every three to five years, but this time frame can be affected by weather conditions and your driving habits. In addition to responding promptly when the check engine light turns on, be sure to take note of the signals that your Mitsubishi is giving you. For example, before you start your Route 31 commute, does your car start more slowly? Are you having trouble with your Mitsubishi’s lights, windshield wipers, or radio? Does a visual check show you that the battery is swollen, corroded, or producing an odor? If so, it’s likely that a new battery is needed. If the engine refuses to start at all, jump-starting the car can be a short-term solution, but the battery will need to be tested as soon as possible. All these issues are symptoms of a larger problem with the battery, so it’s crucial to discover the source of the trouble.

Before your next family trip to Red Mountain Park, bring your vehicle to the Mitsubishi-certified technicians in our Service Department for a battery test. They will use an electronic meter to check the charge level of the battery. Unlike an at-home test, our meter will perform a load test, making sure that the battery can perform in real-world conditions. If the battery is still in good condition but running low on juice, the solution is simple. Our technicians will charge the battery, and you’ll be on your way!

If your Mitsubishi’s battery is charged but something is still amiss, a battery inspection is the next step. Our experts will examine the battery, searching for rust, corrosion, and debris like dirt or leaves, as well as loose wiring. After comparing their findings to Mitsubishi specifications, they will replace the battery if necessary. Since our service professionals are careful to always use Genuine Mitsubishi OEM Parts, your vehicle is in good hands. They can help you find the ideal battery for your car’s requirements. With the service specials at Birmingham Mitsubishi, battery tests and inspections, as well as any other maintenance tasks, are quick, easy, and affordable.
