• Battery load and state-of-health testing
• Charging-system output testing
• Terminal and hold-down cleaning and inspection

Battery capacity can decline gradually, then cause a no-start condition without much warning. Testing is especially useful after repeated slow starts or when electrical behavior changes. The service also includes a charging-system check to help distinguish a battery concern from a charging concern.

• Measures battery health under load
• Checks charging-system output
• Helps avoid guessing about remaining battery life

These symptoms can appear before the vehicle will not start. A battery that has been in service for more than a few years also deserves attention, particularly after extended heat. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley can perform a load test and inspect the charging system.

• Slow cranking, especially in cold weather
• Dimming lights or startup electronics resets
• Battery warning light or an older battery

Temperature changes place additional demands on a battery that may already have reduced capacity. Slow cranking is one of the first signs a driver may notice. A battery load test provides a clearer assessment than waiting for a no-start event.
