Battery Replacement Service near Aurora, IL

Each time a driver starts the engine of their Subaru Forester, they rely on the battery to perform. Like some other elements of a vehicle, this component will fail as time goes on. Learn exactly what a battery does in your car and when it’s time to bring it to our Service Department at Gerald Subaru North Aurora to get it replaced. 

Battery Purpose

Your Subaru’s battery is crucial to the vehicle’s operation. Its primary function is to provide the energy required to activate the starter motor beneath the hood. Without that burst of electricity, you won’t make it far when you travel through Aurora. That’s not all that is required of this item, though. The battery is responsible for providing power to all other parts of your car that need it. Your headlamps, interior lights, and infotainment elements all rely on the battery to work. While the vehicle is in operation, the alternator helps recharge the battery. Still, it will only last between three and five years. 

Warning Signs

As the battery wears down, the car owner will often notice emerging problems with how their Subaru Crosstrek functions. A common issue observed in vehicles with failing batteries is the inability to start it. If you’re at Phillips Park Zoo and your car only clicks when you’re trying to turn it on, then it’s likely that you’ll need a new battery. Fortunately, a battery is easily obtained from our Parts Department, and our technicians can even install it on your behalf at our Service Department. Another warning sign of when the battery is reaching the end of its lifespan is dim headlamps or interior lights. Also, be on the lookout for physical damage to this element as well. See if it has excessive corrosion near its terminals or a bloated case, both indicative of internal problems. 

Replacement Process 

If you determine that your vehicle’s battery is no longer capable of performing its tasks, then stop at our location to buy a new one and have it replaced. This process is very simple in most cases. While you wait, our service technicians will open the car’s hood or otherwise access its battery containment area. They’ll remove and safely dispose of the old battery and then add the new one in its place. The team members check to ensure that it operates correctly and holds a charge. Next, they will return to you with any other service recommendations and send you on your way to Aurora Public Library or any other destination. You can ride with a full sense of confidence, knowing that you have the power to start and run the vehicle. If you’re ready to get the replacement process underway, contact us to save an appointment time slot, or simply travel to our location and speak with our team.

My family has been buying cars from the Gerald Auto Group since the mid-90's and our cars are always serviced with the location at which they were purchased. That having been said, my recent service call with David Gonzales was very positive, although the news I received was not. Due to poor alignment, my tires wore unevenly so that they could not be rotated as I had requested. David brought out quotes for new tires (they don't carry the suggested tire in stock - not surprisingly, nobody does!) and was very helpful with additional places to purchase new ones. I'll be back for the service department to re-align my 2010 Legacy once I've gotten new tires. (Yes, I'm on a budget, so I'll do some online shopping before I order those pricey new shoes!) These guys always do the best work, and I feel confident that the work is done right the first time. I don't trust anyone else to service my car!

Excellent service

Today I had the pleasure of purchasing a used Subaru Legacy from Gerald with the assistance of Nichole, as well as Devin. Some of the best practices they apply to customer experience is second to none - when you walk in their showroom every staff member greets you and makes it a point to ensure you feel welcomed. They display and truly embodie a team approach to making sure you are in the best hands. Thanks for all of the water, as well as good food options. If you are looking for a new or used Subaru, place your trust in these folks, they will work to get you what you want and will make it an enjoyable and informative experience from start to finish. I'm excited to be in the Subaru family, and the Gerald family. These folks truly care, and it shows from the moment you arrive on their lot.

i would recommend 10/10 to anyone looking for a car.
