RODA SERVICE
Replace Battery
Your car’s battery powers everything from the ignition to your headlights and infotainment system. As it ages, performance naturally declines — leading to slow starts, warning lights, or unexpected breakdowns.

THE RODA WAY
Our Battery Replacement service ensures your car starts strong, your electronics run smoothly, and you’re never left stranded. We believe in hospitality and transparency — you’ll always know exactly what we’re doing and why it matters.
Why Estimates May Vary
$238.50 - $405 with RodaCare
$265 - $450
Our goal is full transparency — pricing may vary based on:
- Battery type and capacity (AGM, standard, or start-stop systems)
- Vehicle make and model (some require specialized installation or reprogramming)
- Location of the battery (under-seat or trunk-mounted batteries require extra labor)
We’ll always provide an exact quote after inspection — no surprises, ever.
When You Need This
Your battery’s performance fades gradually, so small warning signs often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Here’s when it’s time for a replacement:
Slow or Struggling Starts
If your engine hesitates or cranks slowly, your battery may be losing charge capacity.
Dim Lights or Electrical Issues
Flickering headlights or weak interior lights often indicate voltage drops from a failing battery.
Dashboard Warning Light
The battery or charging system light is your car’s signal that something needs attention.
Battery Age Over 3 Years
Most batteries last 3–5 years. Replacing proactively prevents no-start situations and electrical strain.

⚠️ What happens if you skip it? ⚠️
Delaying battery replacement can lead to sudden breakdowns, dead starts, and damage to your alternator or electrical system. It’s a small service that prevents big inconveniences later.
How This is Done
We follow a precise, safety-first process to ensure your new battery is properly installed and your systems stay fully functional. Every battery replacement includes system testing and proper recycling of your old battery — done right, start to finish.
1. System Test
We measure voltage, charging rate, and battery health to confirm replacement is needed.
2. Safe Removal
The old battery is disconnected carefully to protect your vehicle’s electronics.
3. Terminal Cleaning
Corrosion is cleaned from connections for strong current flow.
4. Install New Battery
A manufacturer-approved battery is installed securely and connected.
5. Final Check
We test voltage, alternator output, and electronics before returning your vehicle.
