(Rochester, PA) In recognition of AAA Car Care Month, AAA East Central will offer free vehicle battery and electrical system checks in October of 2025. A Battery Wellness Clinic will be held at the Rochester AAA branch office from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, October 16th, where batteries can be purchased on site if they are needed. The public and members of AAA are encouraged to check their vehicles to make sure the battery has enough strength to properly work in the air of cold winter. According to AAA, summer heat breaks down the components inside a car’s battery, which can lead to battery failure during cold weather and dead batteries are the number one reason for service calls. Over 270,000 battery-related calls are what the AAA East Central office responds to each year.
