You turn the key and the engine cranks slow, or all you get is a click. Sometimes the dash lights come up fine and the starter still will not pull. That is usually the battery, and it does not fix itself. We bring the new one to wherever the car is sitting.
Call (863) 356-0838Heat kills batteries here, not cold. The three-year-old battery that starts fine all summer is the one that quits in a parking lot in October. Before we replace anything we load test the battery and check the alternator output, because a bad alternator will kill a new battery in a week. Most cars take about half an hour once we are on site. If the car quit on I-4, get it onto the shoulder first if it will still move. That stretch through Polk County runs cameras and message signs because fog off the Green Swamp has caused bad pileups there, and a stopped car in fog is a hazard before it is a repair job.

A dying battery cranks slow, then clicks, and the dash lights dim while you hold the key. A bad starter usually gives you one loud click with the lights staying bright. We test both before replacing either one.
Maybe not. A battery that took a jump once will usually need one again, but we test it under load and give you the number. If it holds, we tell you it is fine and you keep it.
Yes. A driveway, an apartment lot or a work parking space all work, as long as we can get the van next to the car. The car does not need to start for us to come out.
We take it with us and turn it in for recycling. That is part of the job, not a separate charge.
We provide battery replacement plus Auburndale, Mulberry, Bartow and Lakeland Highlands.
