FAQ

Do I need an appointment for a Battery Replacement?

No appointment necessary for a new battery. Just swing on into the Quick Lane at Midway Ford anytime that we're open and our service specialists will be happy to install a new battery.

What brand of battery do you use for a Battery Replacement?

We carry Ford/Motorcraft batteries.

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.

How often should I have my battery replaced?

It depends on the battery, but they usually last about five years or 100,000 miles. If you think you might need a new battery, then stop into our Quick Lane and we would be happy to test your battery for free. 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.

What kind of warranty comes with a new Motorcraft battery?

The warranty depends whether you opt for the Motorcraft Plus Battery or the Motorcraft Max Battery. The Motorcraft Plus comes with 18-month free replacement period as well as an 84-month limited warranty (pro-rated coverage) while the Motorcraft Max battery comes with a 36-month free replacement period as well as a 100-month limited warranty (pro-rated coverage).

Signs that your battery may be about to fail include:

Slow Engine Crank (takes a long time to start)
Battery smells like rotten eggs
Battery light on dashboard is illuminated
Swollen battery case

If you would like to be sure, we recommend stopping into our Quick Lane for a complimentary battery inspection.

What factors affect battery life?

Factors that have a negative affect on battery life include extreme temperatures, short trips, and the age of the battery.

We now have to reset the battery control module whenever we install a new battery on most newer vehicles.
