Get Your Battery Inspected or Replaced at Mack Grubbs Hyundai
You leave work or your house and slide inside your vehicle to start the engine and nothing happens. Your first thought is that your battery is dead. If you can get it jumped and the engine running, it’s a good idea to have your battery tested to see if you need a new one.  If you live around Columbia, Hattiesburg, or Laurel, you can bring your vehicle to Mack Grubbs Hyundai for service.

Battery Testing
One of the most common services we provide for batteries is testing. We use equipment designed to test how much life is left in the battery. From this information, we can tell you if you need to replace the battery now or in the near future. We’ll also check the cables and connections to see if they need to be replaced or cleaned.

Other Issues
If we see that the battery is healthy and the connections are secure, we’ll start looking at other reasons why the engine wouldn’t start. The problem is often caused by the alternator, ignition switch, or other parts in the starting system. If there’s a problem with the alternator, it can ruin the battery even if it’s not too old.

Reasons the Car Won’t Start
There are three primary reasons why the vehicle won’t start.

• Battery is drained: If your battery is healthy and not too old but won’t start, it probably means something drained the battery, such as a light left on. A jump start will take care of the issue.
• Battery is old: In this case, a jump start might get the engine started, but you’ll need to jump it again because the battery can’t hold a charge.
• Other starting components need replaced: If there’s nothing wrong with your battery, the issue may be with other parts of the starting system.

One of the easiest things to check if your battery isn’t too old is the connections. They often get corroded or loosened, which can impact their connection to the battery. You can take a brush and clean around them to remove the corrosion and make sure the cables are tight. After this process, you may be able to start the vehicle, and everything will work correctly. If it doesn’t work, you’ll need to have the starter system checked out.
