Honda Battery Test and Inspection near Brick Township, NJ

Honda Battery Test and Inspection near Brick Township, NJ

The battery under the hood of your Honda is one of its most vital components, so it's important that you know about its health as you venture around Brick Township. To get it tested and inspected, come to Honda of Toms River during open hours or by scheduling an appointment online.

Purpose

Whenever you start your car's engine, the battery at its heart sends an electrical signal to the spark plug that allows the motor to start running. However, if there is not enough energy in the battery, you will find it difficult to begin your journey to Brick Beach. This part is also responsible for keeping your in-cabin entertainment and safety systems running. For this reason, the rearview camera and speakers won't function without a working power supply. Like your phone's battery, the one in your vehicle is rechargeable, getting energy from the engine via the alternator under the hood. This means it can last about three to five years before needing to be replaced.

Test

If you have been using the same car battery for your drives to Allaire State Park for many miles, then it's a good idea to come get it tested at our Service Department. This should be done about once a year to keep you up to date about the lifespan of the component. Our technicians will begin by using a multimeter to determine the current voltage in your battery. If it's below 12.6 volts, it might need a charge to get it back up to proper levels. That being said, if it can't sustain the charge we provide it with, you are likely going to require a new battery to continue your commutes.

Inspection

The physical attributes of a car's battery also play a major role in determining its condition, so allow us to inspect it when you visit Honda of Toms River. For example, the terminals should be free of corrosion and rust, as these can sap power over time. Swelling of the sidewalls is also a red flag because it can lead to dangerous acid leaks. We can inspect the connecting wires for fraying, which could be a contributor to poor battery performance. If none of these tests reveal the source of your car’s woes, we can check the electrical items inside your Honda Civic or Ridgeline for parts that might be staying on while your car is off.

What Is the Difference Between a Battery Test and Inspection?

  • Battery tests focus on the charge levels of the component, while an inspection has to do with its physical condition.

Honda of Tom’s River New Jersey was an excellent car buying experience. The staff there are friendly and the car that I was interested in was on the lot. The sales person was professional and helpful he explained all the details of the car and personally took us on a test drive to show us some of technical attributes of the car. We then took the car for a test drive. Agreed on a price and easily went through the financing department to finish the deal. While we were working through finance the salesman also helped us navigate entering the new apps on our phone and contacting the insurance company so that we could drive home that day in our new wheels. Overall, a great experience I appreciate the staff and oh by the way lunch was on them that day as well .Thank you very much. Ken

My Honda Service Center in Tom’s River is always clean, uncluttered, with a friendly atmosphere. They were very accommodating with scheduling. The shuttle driver Nicholas was very polite and pleasant. Michel the tech was also. I love the fact that he could show me what work he needed to do. He explained it simple enough for this 76 yr old to understand. And the work was completed in a reasonable amount of time. I give 5 stars.

I find the staff to be friendly, honest, knowledgeable, and dependable.

I walked in looking to buy my lease and was fortunate enough to have Doug Lazaro as my salesman. What a true gentleman, he was very thorough, patient and respectful throughout the entire process. He is definitely a rare old school breed of salesman that are becoming extinct in today’s world. The entire dealership should take customer service classes from him. He has gained a loyal lifetime customer. I will definitely go back to purchase more vehicles from Doug in the future and recommend him to all of my friends and family.

It was time to trade in my van. Karen was my salesperson.
