Battery Maintenance Q&A

How Long Do Car Batteries Last?

Car batteries are designed to last a long time but they're not made to last forever. With that being said, how long do car batteries last? Car batteries typically last for up to around five years. After five years, they'll likely need to be replaced if you want reliable performance for your Belmont Shores commute.

However, the answer can vary depending on your specific vehicle and usage. You can always schedule a service appointment and we'll let you know the status of your vehicle's battery so it doesn't let you down.

• Dimmed interior/exterior lights
• Needing regular jump-starts
