“What is battery corrosion”?. If this picture on the left is what you see when you lift your hood, you will soon have a car that will not start, a bad battery and possibly ruined battery cables. This could have been prevented with regular service and maintenance and more importantly, prevented this new customer from being stranded. Fortunately we did a battery service and she was back on the road. At Long’s Car Care Center we check on the health of your vehicle every time you visit, to make sure that this type of thing does not happen to our customers. So if your battery looks like hers did, please come on in and we will get it cleaned up, so you don’t get stranded.
