Our car battery replacement service includes a free charging system test, so you'll know whether you need a new battery or if a failing alternator is the real culprit.
Oregon's cool, wet climate is easier on batteries than desert heat, but age still wins. We test your battery's actual cold-cranking capacity, not just voltage, so you replace it only when it's truly done.
Load testing that shows real remaining capacity, plus a full charging system check.
Quality batteries sized correctly for your vehicle, installed while you wait, with memory saved so your settings survive.
Corroded terminals and cables cleaned, protected, or replaced for a solid connection.
Typically 4–6 years in the Pacific Northwest. Lots of short trips, common around town in Columbia County, shorten battery life because the alternator never fully recharges it.
Yes. It takes a few minutes, and it also tells us if your alternator is undercharging, which would kill a new battery just as fast as the old one.
If replacements keep failing, the battery usually isn't the problem. A weak alternator or a parasitic electrical draw is. We test for both before selling you another battery.
Free battery test, honest answer, and same-visit replacement if you need one.
