Are you haunted by the possibility of a dead battery this November? It’s a concern worth considering, especially as cooler weather approaches. Now might be the perfect time to have your battery tested and your vehicle serviced to guarantee a smooth and trouble-free fall and winter season. Kickstart this maintenance journey in our service department with our team of manufacturer-trained service technicians. Before you schedule your next service appointment, explore the tips below and put them to good use. Don’t let the worry of a potential battery failure weigh on you this winter – plan ahead and keep your vehicle running smoothly!
Loughead Nissan’s Battery Care Tips:
How To Avoid A Dead Battery
- The easiest way to put your mind to ease that you won’t be in this situation is to service your battery regularly to make sure there are no issues. This is exceptionally important when temperatures start to drop drastically or after driving long miles. A technician can test your battery to ensure that it’s still in a good, healthy condition.
- Be smart with your vehicle. Don’t use certain features like the radio, chargers, or lights for long periods of time without starting your vehicle. This puts a lot of stress on your battery and can end up killing your battery altogether.
- Avoid extreme temperatures if you can. We encourage you to park your vehicle in your garage (if you have one). This can cut back on exposure to extreme temperatures and won’t be the mortality of your battery.
What Caused My Dead Battery
- Leaving headlights, interior lights, flashers or the radio on when your vehicle isn’t running.
- Using the air conditioner or heat when your vehicle isn’t running.
- Low air temperatures, causing your battery to freeze.
- Lack of battery maintenance.
- Not starting your vehicle for long periods of time.
- Failure of voltage regulator within the alternator.
What To Do When Your Battery Dies
- Of course, the first answer is to jump-start your vehicle. It’s always a great idea to keep a set of jumper cables inside your vehicle for emergencies whether that is you or another driver. Also, keep in mind that you should NEVER try to jump start a battery if it is cracked or visibly leaking acid.
- Roadside assistance is a beautiful thing and is almost necessary. If you do find yourself stranded and in need of help, be sure to call roadside assistance for help. This is especially helpful if you are on the highway and can’t flag down another driver. Plus, it’s safer to stay in your vehicle while a trained professional addresses the situation.

Checking Your Tires For Winter | Swarthmore, PA
Can you guys believe that sooner than later the roads will be covered in snow and winter will be in full swing? This means if you haven’t started your fall service, right now is the perfect time to start! Where should you start with your fall service? Well, this week we are focusing on one very important fall service, and that is servicing your tires! As we all know, your tires are very important to your vehicle’s performance, especially during the winter months. If your tires are balding, have low PSI, or have any other damage, you could find yourself having issues down the road…literally. So what should you be looking for when inspecting your tires? Below you can find all the information you’ll need, and if you need any help choosing or replacing tires be sure to schedule a service appointment with us today!
Checking Your Tire Depth:
- Evaluate the tread depth of your tires to make sure you have enough traction to grip the road
- An easy way to check you tire depth is with the Penny Test
- Just place a penny upside down in your tread. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, it may be time for new tires.
Checking Your Tire Pressure:
- Use a tire pressure gauge to make sure your tires are properly inflated and then fill your tires with air as needed
- Your owners manual will have the proper PSI for your tires
- To check your pressure, remove the valve stem cap, press the gauge head evenly onto the valve stem, use firm pressure so that the hissing sound stops
- Remove the gauge and read the pressure adjust as needed
Checking Your Tire’s Condition & Age:
- Look at the tread and sidewalls for any cuts, scrapes, punctures, bulges, bumps or cracks. If you see anything suspicious, have a tire service professional take a closer look.
- You also want to keep an eye on your tire’s age. Depending on how much you drive, your tire’s tread may last for years but just because the tread is not worn out does not mean that your tires don’t need to be replaced
- To determine your tire’s age just look at the DOT stamping on the sidewall
- At the end of the DOT stamp, there is a four-digit code that will tell you when the tire was manufactured.
