Battery Service FAQ

There are numerous reasons why a vehicle won't start. If it's related to the battery, the starter will generally not crank the engine. This is the telltale "click, click, click" when you turn the key or press the start button. This could be an alternator not charging the battery properly, a loose battery or starter cable, or a battery that needs to be replaced. Because batteries only crank for 3 seconds, in most cases, there may be no "slow crank" warning. That is why it is important to get your battery tested by a Group Certified Service professional at LaFontaine Buick GMC Lansing.

In most instances, normal driving will recharge the battery unless there is an issue with the vehicle. If your vehicle does not start after driving it, it's recommended that you take your vehicle to the Certified Service experts at LaFontaine Buick GMC Lansing to have a diagnosis performed.

Batteries wear out over time, but there are also issues that impact battery failure, for example, unusual "parasitic drains" such as adding accessories but not properly grounding them, infrequent startup, and discharged batteries freezing at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

The best thing that you can do is have your Certified Service technician at LaFontaine Buick GMC Lansing perform a conductance test on your battery when you get your oil changed. This helps to monitor the status of the battery and helps prevent you from being in a situation where your vehicle won't start.
