Battery Service at Windsor Mazda

Battery Service

Battery Maintenance in Windsor, ON

The battery in your Mazda is what makes your vehicle start, and it also runs all of your electrical components (screens, door locks, and even the power windows). When the battery dies, your Mazda cannot even move, which means you have to either get a replacement battery put in wherever you are in Windsor, or get towed to a location that sells them. That’s where our battery service at Windsor Mazda comes in and saves the day: the trained technicians in our Service Department can both replace a dead battery while also inspecting your current battery to give you the information you need to know when you might need to get it replaced.

Follow along with our team at Windsor Mazda as we cover why battery maintenance matters, three warning signs that your battery needs servicing (which include needing a jump start, your engine revving multiple times before turning over, and a foul odour coming from under the hood), as well as the answers to frequently asked questions about battery services!

3 Warning Signs Your Battery Needs Servicing

If any of these three signs are occurring, bring your Mazda in to our Service Department in Windsor to get your battery serviced quickly:

  • Battery Service

    1. You Have to Regularly Jump Start Your Mazda

    Vehicles shouldn’t typically need a jump start just to start, so if you’re finding that you often have to get your Mazda a jump start to get it running, it’s time for a new battery.

  • Battery Service

    2. Your Engine Revs Many Times Before It Turns Over

    Similarly to starting, your engine shouldn’t rev more than once or twice before turning over. A string of revs before your engine turns over, if it turns over at all, indicates your battery is close to dying and should be replaced before it dies completely. With our cold winters, sitting and revving the engine and hoping it turns over is fairly common, as battery life depletes more quickly in extreme temperatures like how cold winters in Windsor can get.

  • Battery Service

    3. You Notice a Foul Odour Coming from Under the Hood

    Different leaks or damage to the components under the hood of your Mazda can cause foul smells to occur, but there’s nothing quite like the strong and pungent smell of sulfuric acid, which can leak from your battery as it dies. It’s very strong and hard to miss, so if you smell it, be quick to turn off the engine (if it’s on) and get your vehicle towed in to have your battery safely replaced by our trained technicians. Sulfuric acid is corrosive and can eat through the metal of your Mazda’s components, so be careful and get it professionally removed.

Battery Service FAQs

What is the average lifespan of a Mazda battery?

Because there are different types of batteries, the average lifespan of the battery in your Mazda can range anywhere from 2 to 7 years. If you drive less frequently or don’t drive during winter at all, it can also last longer. If you notice any of the above signs, though, bring your Mazda in and get your battery taken care of as soon as you can.

How often should I get my battery serviced?

The battery in your Mazda can last for years, but it’s best to get your battery serviced once a year. This allows our trained technicians to fully assess your battery so as to give you thorough information regarding how much battery life it has left, and what battery life is needed for typical activities such as starting your vehicle, even in the winter. If your battery is dying when you bring it in to be serviced, our trained technicians can also replace it for you, making it a great idea to book your battery service appointment before the snow starts to fall so you know you’re prepared for what winter in Windsor has to throw at you.

I just got a new battery, why won’t my Mazda start?

While a dead battery can mean your Mazda won’t start, another possible cause is that the starter needs replacing. If your vehicle won’t start, leave it to the trained technicians in our Service Department to find the underlying cause and fix it for you, be it a faulty battery (yes, even a new one can be faulty!), the engine starter, or even the Battery Management System (BMS) needing a reset.
