How Often Should You Service Your Battery & Electrical System?

Timing varies with use and weather. In spots like Ancaster with cold snaps or Oakville’s traffic, batteries often hold up 3 to 5 years. Run a test each fall before snow hits, or after 50,000 kilometres. If you park outside in Stoney Creek or forget to turn off items, inspect sooner. A simple visit to Steel City Auto Care can flag early troubles.
