How long does it take to perform an Battery Replacement?

Battery Replacement is a quick service. We can usually get you back on the road within 30-45 minutes. However, if we're busy, it might take longer than that. You can always call the Quick Lane ahead of time to check the wait time.

It depends on the battery, but they usually last about five years or 100,000 miles.

We also test your battery as part of the 20-point inspection that comes along with every oil change.


Why is it important to have my battery replaced?

You never know exactly when your battery is finally going to die. Avoid the risk of being unable to start your vehicle at a inopportune time and just replace the battery when it's testing bad.


My battery has blue ice looking stuff coming out of it. Do I need a new battery?

Not necessarily. If your battery still tests ok, we can perform a battery terminal service where we can clean the battery terminals and cables then reconnect the battery terminals. The service costs just $25.95* and can save you from finding yourself unable to start your vehicle at an inopportune moment in the future.
