Battery Service Advice
Gordie Boucher Ford of Kenosha Battery Service
Your vehicle’s battery.
Today's vehicles are loaded with technology. That's why it's more important than ever to ensure your battery operates at peak performance. At Gordie Boucher Ford of Kenosha, we know exactly what battery is needed for your specific vehicle and can help guide you through what can be a somewhat complex process.
Like all parts, batteries run their course. Most will last up to five years, depending on conditions and how often you drive. Signs of an aging battery include an audible slow crank when you attempt to start your engine, a lit check engine/battery light or the strange odor of rotten eggs. If you have any concerns, Gordie Boucher Ford of Kenosha offers a complimentary computerized battery test. Plus, each Motorcraft® battery we install features the latest technologies in design and engineering. They provide dependable power to today's high‐technology vehicles across a wide range of conditions.
