Your battery probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind when considering car mainteance. Over time battery acid finds its way through the seals on the battery terminals and causes what we call a "blue flower". These "flowers" are highly corrosive and can eat through your battery cables which leads to a high cost repair. If bad enough these "flowers" can even cause your battery to discharge while sitting. This can dramtically lower the life expectancy of your expensive battery. We rcommend cleaning and treating/sealing your battery terminals every 15,000 miles to prevent these battery acid leaks and keep your battery working within specification for as long as possible. The expert team we have at Gateway Auto Clinic can diagnose and repair these types of battery problems. Come by or call us today and let us help you.
