Battery Test and Inspection near Horseheads, NY

Battery Test and Inspection near Horseheads, NY

Maybe you own a Kia model and are not too sure about what services its battery needs. We’ll gladly introduce the key details of a test and inspection. If you’re unfamiliar with these maintenances, read this overview to know if you need to visit our handy Service Center at Williams Kia of Elmira!

The Purpose of the Battery

To start off, we’ll describe the sole purpose of the battery in your vehicle. It’s the source of electricity for different parts of your Soul or Telluride, including the headlights and instrument panel. Because of this, you can navigate to the Soaring Eagles Golf Course without difficulty. This enables you to travel at night and also read the time, gauge cluster readings, and other details on your dashboard clearly. When you turn the keys or press the push button start, the battery also delivers the proper amount of spark to your starter, which causes the engine to ignite. With this functionality, you’re able to travel anywhere in Horseheads whenever you need to. As you can see, the battery is essential for many functions of your model and maintenance ensures that it keeps running well.

Inspection Process

One essential service for the battery is an inspection that we can effortlessly do for you. When you arrive for this task, we’ll open the hood and look for dirt or debris that might be impeding its performance. A certified technician will check for any disconnected wires or leakage from the casing. While doing so, we’ll also ensure that there’s no corrosion forming after use on I-99 as well. For a comprehensive inspection, we'll ensure that the cabin lighting wasn’t left on in your vehicle. Throughout the inspection, we'll provide quick and efficient maintenance during your service appointment.

Battery Test

To finalize your battery’s service, we’ll perform a test, which measures how much voltage it has left. Our dealership has specialized diagnostic tools to gauge its power levels. After our skilled team has finished, we’ll reach back to you and discuss next steps. We may find that the battery has some life left for more travels down the line before you need a replacement. In that case, we’ll provide you with the time frame it has left so that the battery doesn't run out of power unexpectedly. However, if we find that its energy has depleted, we’ll inform you of a needed replacement. In this case, come to our Parts Department to order an OEM replacement!


Here's What We Look for in a Battery Inspection!

  • Disconnected wires
  • Dirt and leaves around the battery
  • Cabin lights left on
  • Fluid leaks

Our experience with Williams Kia was nothing short of amazing! We had the best sales woman, her name was Carrie. She took what is usually a not so fun experience and made it simple and exciting. We will definitely return to her for our next vehicle. Thanks Carrie

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the service center. I was in a time crunch and Bill and Holly went above and beyond to take care of the issues I was having with my car and getting it inspected. They were super pleasant and were able to fit me in. It meant so much to me they were so helpful because I do not know much about cars and I took my car to Mavis tire previously to try to get my check engine light turned off but they did not fix the problem. They were able to figure out why my light was on, drive it 50 miles and inspect my car all in a matter of a few days. They are kind, genuine people and although I do not live in town anymore, I would make the drive to get their service.

Ashley Good is amazing

I didn't buy a car...yet. I worked with Ashley Good and she has amazing integrity and ethics. She wants everything to make sense instead of just making a sale. The deal wasn't right for me at this time; I'm keeping my 2020 truck for now. Ashley knew it wasn't right. We discussed it at length and agreed it just didn't make sense - she said she wasn't comfortable with it at all. She offered complete understanding and ZERO pressure. I WILL buy my next vehicle from her and I WILL refer people to her in the interim. Go talk with Ashley - she can sell you anything on a Williams lot, not just Kia. I promise, you won't regret it. Update July 31st, 2021... My mom drove off in a cute 2021 Toyota CH-R today that she purchased through Ashley. It was absolutely the right car and deal for her. No haggle pricing and quick easy deal. Ashley took her time during delivery to go over all of the technology and answer my mom's questions. GO SEE ASHLEY!!

Brian is very easy to deal with

After getting the (Simmons Rockwell) runaround several times from the service manager on our Nissan at Simmons Rockwell we decided to come to Williams Kia, very glad we did. Dealt with Brian in sales and he was very easy to deal with and not at all pushy. Basically we ended up buying a new vehicle and the entire process from start to final price was very good. Done with Simmons Rockwell finally. Thank you to Williams Kia.

We stumbled upon the dealership, which is an hour away from our home, during a road trip to pick up our daughter from college. After a test drive of the Kia Sportage, we were sold. We were so thrilled with the price, service, and quality of the product, we ended up making a lease deal through Don that very day. It could not have been easier and they took care of every detail. Such a GREAT experience!

Josh was a very professional salesman.

Josh was a very professional salesman. Really not too pushy at all. He treated with much kindness and respect. Josh was very knowledgeable of the vehicle we were buying. Read much about this vehicle in Consumer Research magazine. Yes, I spent some money but it's the very first brand new car we've owned and we've been married 38 years. Williams Toyota is a wonderful dealership, very nice personnel. Like I said Josh was great.

Sales staff were accommodating and friendly.

I used Consumer Reports in researching vehicles and the dealerships website to find the car that meet my preferences. I test drove several different models and the salesman was very helpful.
