The simple fact is that 70% of car batteries fail within 4 years. They just need to be replaced at Tuffy Fort Wayne - Coldwater when they are no longer able to hold a full charge.
Batteries are a big ticket item for most Fort Wayne drivers and it’s tempting to put off buying a new one as long as possible. But a battery that cannot hold a full charge requires the alternator to work extra hard, causing it to wear out prematurely.
