The primary job of your vehicle’s battery is to help start the engine. However, it also stores energy generated by the alternator and runs the secondary electrical systems or additional components in your vehicle.

To help you take care of your battery, Hillside Tire & Service will:

• Tighten loose hold-down clamps and terminals
  
• Remove corrosion
  
• Check the alternator belt tension and wear
