Car Battery Replacement Near Me in Highland
A vehicle’s battery acts as the heart of your car – it kicks the entire system into action as soon as you turn the key or push the start button. Without the battery, your vehicle wouldn’t turn on, and you could find yourself stranded, waiting for someone to give the battery a jump. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Instead, get your battery tested regularly at Garber Chevrolet Highland.
Even if your car is still turning over, regular battery testing is a good way to catch a weak battery before it has a chance to die on you. A dying battery can also cause issues to other engine components that aren’t getting the same charge they should, so it’s important to swap out a dying battery as soon as you notice an issue. Our service center has all the equipment necessary to test your vehicle’s battery and swap it out if it’s not putting out enough juice.

Battery FAQ's
It may be time to replace your battery if:
- It takes longer for your vehicle to start up
- The Check Engine light comes on
- Random warning lights come on, such as a “low coolant” warning when the coolant isn’t low
You can also check a see-through area on the battery to see the amount of fluid remaining. The lower the fluid is, the closer the battery is to needing to be replaced.

To jump start a car battery, first you need a set of jumper cables and another vehicle. Once you have those, jumping the battery can be done in a few simple steps:
- Position the working vehicle close enough together that the jumper cables will reach from one vehicle to another. Make sure both cars are turned off.
- Open the hoods, locate both batteries and their terminals. On the battery, there will be two terminals: a red one marked with a positive (+) sign and a black one marked with a negative (-) sign. NEVER connect the positive (red) part of the jumper cable to a negative (black) battery terminal, or vice versa.
- Find a metal area under the hood of the vehicle with the dead battery; you’ll need to connect one of the jumpers to this spot later.
- Connect a positive (red) jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the dead battery. Then connect the other positive (red) jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the good battery.
- Connect a negative (black) jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the good battery.
- Connect the other negative (black) jumper cable to the metal area of the vehicle with the dead battery that you identified in step three. You can use any metal surface as long as it’s not too close to the battery. The side of the car should suffice in most cases.
- Start the car with the good battery and wait approximately two to five minutes for the other car’s battery to charge.
- Start the car with the bad battery. If the car starts, remove the jumper cables starting with the negative (black) clamps. If the car doesn’t start, wait a few more minutes for the dead battery to get more juice.
