Milito’s Gets you Moving when Your Car Battery is Dead!
We’ve all had that terrible feeling when we get into our car, turn the key, and nothing happens except a few ominous clicks – the battery is dead.
As we start to get ourselves moving again after multiple months of working from home or simply being at home more often, many may find that their cars won’t start or their tires may have gone flat. Leaving a car unused for weeks or months on end can create many problems for the car such as rats eating into the wires and cables, but the most common and easiest to fix is a dead battery.

How to Avoid a Dead Battery
To give yourself peace of mind and avoid that dreaded dead battery panic here are some tips to keep your car battery healthy and running smoothly.
1. Always ensure that your headlights and interior lights are turned off when you park the car. This may seem obvious, but it is generally the number one culprit for a dead battery. Many cars have automatic lights these days, but sometimes you may switch the settings without realizing or flip on an interior light only to leave it on all night and leave you stranded in the morning. Give the car a second glance before closing the garage at night, just to be sure.
2. If you don’t plan to drive your car for an extended period of time, still take it out for a ride every now and then. Driving the car, especially when it’s cold outside, is what keeps the battery charged, so taking it out for a spin will not only help with the battery, but it will have you checking on other things such as the tire pressure and the overall well-being of the car.
3. Unplug car accessories such as chargers or navigation systems. Even though they are not in use, they still could be draining the battery, especially over a longer period of time.
4. Inspect your car battery at least once a year. And if you don’t know what to look for, bring it in to Milito’s Auto Repair and we will be happy to do a thorough full vehicle check-up for you!
