Fast, Honest, and Reliable Battery Testing & Installation

Plano’s Trusted Experts for Car Battery Replacement & Testing

Your car’s battery does more than just start your engine — it’s the heart of your electrical system. Without a strong, healthy battery, nothing works. From headlights and AC to the starter and onboard computers, everything depends on a solid power source.

At The Auto Shop in Plano, TX, we offer professional battery testing and replacement services for all vehicle types. Whether your battery is completely dead, draining overnight, or showing early signs of failure, we’ll diagnose the issue quickly and provide a dependable solution.

Backed by over 40 years of experience, our ASE-certified techs are here to make sure your car starts — and stays running — when you need it most.

Why Your Battery Matters
More Than You Think

Today’s vehicles are more electronically advanced than ever. In addition to starting your engine, your car battery powers:

  • Fuel injection systems

  • Navigation and infotainment screens

  • Power windows, locks, and sunroofs

  • Cameras and sensors

  • Safety features like ABS and traction control

A weak battery puts stress on your alternator, starter, and onboard computers, which can create a domino effect of expensive issues.

Common Signs You Need
a New Car Battery

Don’t wait for your car to leave you stranded in a Plano parking lot. Look for these common signs of battery failure:

  • Slow engine cranking or hesitation at startup

  • Clicking noise when you turn the key

  • Dashboard battery warning light

  • Dim headlights or interior lights

  • Electrical accessories not functioning properly

  • Corrosion on battery terminals

  • You’ve needed a jump-start more than once

If you notice any of these, stop by for a free battery test — it only takes a few minutes and could save you hours of frustration.

How Long Does a Car Battery Last in Texas?

The average battery lasts 3 to 5 years, but in Texas, extreme summer heat can reduce lifespan significantly. Heat evaporates battery fluid, damages internal plates, and accelerates failure.

At The Auto Shop, we help customers get the maximum life from their battery with routine testing, proper installation, and expert care.

Our Battery Testing & Replacement Services

We go beyond a simple battery swap. Our full-service approach includes:

✅ Battery Load
Testing

We use digital testers to check cold cranking amps (CCA), voltage levels, and internal resistance to determine battery health.

✅ Charging System Check

Your alternator and voltage regulator are tested to ensure your battery is getting the proper charge while driving.

✅ Corrosion Inspection & Cleaning

Corroded terminals or loose connections can cause symptoms that feel like battery failure.

We clean and tighten as needed.

✅ Premium Battery Installation

If you need a replacement, we offer high-quality, long-life batteries with warranties ranging from 2–5 years.

We’ll recommend the correct group size and rating for your vehicle.
