Battery Replacement

Battery Testing and Replacement

A dead battery on a cold Snohomish morning is the most common breakdown there is. Jamie’s Transmission Service tests batteries, cleans and tightens corroded terminals, and replaces batteries on cars, trucks, SUVs, vans and motorhomes with the correct group size and cold cranking amps for your vehicle.

Battery, Alternator or Starter?

A battery that keeps dying is often not the battery. We test the whole starting and charging system, including alternator output and starter draw, so you replace the part that actually failed. A new battery on top of a weak alternator just buys a few weeks.

Signs Your Battery Is On Its Way Out

Slow cranking, dim headlights at idle, a battery warning light, corrosion on the terminals, or a battery more than four or five years old heading into a Pacific Northwest winter. If any of those sound familiar, a quick test now beats a jump start in a parking lot later.

Done While You Are Here For Other Work

Many of our customers have the battery tested while the vehicle is in for a transmission, differential or brake job. It takes a few minutes, and if the battery is fine we will tell you so. Rough estimates are free by phone, email or in person.
