(Pittsburgh, PA) According to a release from AAA East Central, hotweather and additional travel miles during road trip season in America can put a strain on vehicle components, especially car batteries. If these batteries, which typically have a life of three to five years, are not maintained or checked properly, they will fail much earlier than expected. AAA has received over 80,000 calls about issues regarding batteries and the Mobile Battery Service program of AAA recommends testing your car batteries regularly. According to that same release from AAA East Central:
AAA’s Mobile Battery Service provides a convenient testing and replacement service for potential battery issues:
- A certified AAA emergency Roadside Assistance technician arrives wherever the vehicle is located – at a residence, business or stranded by the highway – 24/7
- Using state-of-the-art technology, the battery is tested within just a few minutes
- Motorists are given a detailed battery diagnosis and a recommendation for a jump-start, charge or replacement battery
- If a replacement is necessary, it can be installed on-site and the old battery recycled
