Your car’s radio and headlights, plus a slew of other important functions, are powered by an electrical current generated by your vehicle’s engine. A vital part of generating electricity is having a place to store it while it’s not being used. This is where your car battery comes into play. 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 Kermit’s Certified Transmission & Auto to perform proper maintenance, an average car battery can start your car reliably for roughly four years.
Your transmission mounts keep your transmission in place and suppress vibrations coming from the drivetrain. How do you know when to replace them or when they’re going bad. At Kermit’s Certified Transmission & Auto in Kingman, AZ, our goal is to educate you about your vehicle so that you can drive it safely and prolong its life.
