The battery of your vehicle holds electrical energy while the car is off in order to help the engine turn over and create a spark to start internal combustion. Without a working battery, your car will not be able to start. If you allow our team here at Cruise N' Cool Automotive, Diesel & Fleet Repair to perform proper maintenance, an average car battery can start your car reliably for roughly four years.
