Close Battery Replacement near Oak Lawn, IL
Replacing a failing battery in your Kia model can prevent further damage and ensure the vehicle operates safely. We at Evergreen Kia have provided the following guide to assist you in understanding the proper maintenance your K4, Telluride, or Sportage may require. Visit our Service Department at our dealership located near Oak Lawn if you need further assistance!
Purpose of Battery
The car’s battery provides the initial electrical surge necessary to start the engine. It also powers the other electronic components like lights, infotainment, and sensors. For most conventional gas-powered vehicles, the battery generally lasts between three to five years, though you should refer to your Owner’s Manual for specifics. Some batteries may last longer, though it is recommended to replace it within this timeframe to avoid failure. An illuminated battery dashboard light will be an obvious hint that something is wrong, though a slow engine crank or dim lights can indicate further issues as well. Similarly, a persistent sulfur smell or a swollen battery case may require inspection and you should visit us if you need help with this.
Replacement Process
A battery replacement service will be quick and painless at our dealership’s Service Department. Our certified technicians will test the battery first before inspecting the charging system by using specialized tools to determine if replacement is necessary. They will clean any terminal erosion before safely removing the old battery by disconnecting the negative terminal first, then they will move to the positive terminals. As the final step of the process, they will install a new genuine OEM battery and secure it. To keep your drives to the Hidden Lake Forest Preserve carefree, they will recalibrate the electrical system and make sure things are working properly. Utilize our online Ask a Tech form to get answers for problems your Kia model may be experiencing.
Buying the Battery
You can choose to replace the battery on your own if you wish to as well, but buy it from our dealership’s Parts Department to ensure you get the right battery. Before setting off on IL-7, perform a similar procedure as we would at the dealership, where you swap out the dead battery for a new OEM replacement. Fill out the online parts order form before doing this to get the battery fit for your Kia vehicle. With this, we will need to know the year, make, model, and trim of the vehicle, as well as the engine option or the VIN number to make sure we purchase the correct battery. You can easily pick it up at our dealership before attempting to replace the battery in your model. Drop by our location or book an appointment if you wish to ease this process with our multi-point inspections and proper installation!
