If your car is hard to start or you recently had to get a jump or a recharge, chances are you may need a new battery and Pro-Star Towing can help.

Batteries typically last for three to five years and older ones are especially vulnerable to colder weather. Slow cranking when starting your car is a common sign that your battery is getting weak, but batteries also fail suddenly without warning signs (like a light bulb).

Our mobile battery service takes the guesswork out of assessing your car battery’s health. We use modern equipment to diagnose the battery’s condition and if necessary, we can install a new one on the spot. The testing will also test your alternator, starter, and charging system to make sure your problem is not elsewhere. This convenient service is free of charge to AAA members and at a nominal charge to non-member. All batteries are made by one of the nation’s leading manufacturers and are completely guaranteed.

Annual Battery Roundup

Nationwide, 95% of car batteries are recycled each year. The remaining 5%- more than five million batteries - end up contamination backyards, dumps and local waterways.

“Some used batteries are illegally disposed of in dumps and water sources, but other are simply sitting in a forgotten corner of someone’s property where they could contaminate soil and ground water and animals,” said Rolyane Fairclough, AAA spokesperson. “The lead and sulfuric acid that leaks through cracks can explode and cause painful injuries to humans.”

Each year, AAA collects old and unwanted batteries at designated drop off sites. Watch for more information from AAA and Pro-Star Towing for the next battery roundup.
