Is Your Battery Ready for Winter?

Struggling to start your car on these cold Lambton mornings? It could be more than just the weather—it might be your battery telling you it’s time for a check-up.

At Lambton Automotive, we’re here to make sure your vehicle starts first time, every time—even when the temperature drops. Our expert team provides quick, reliable battery testing and replacements to keep you moving, no matter the season.

Why Cold Weather and Old Batteries Don’t Mix

As the temperature drops, your battery’s ability to deliver power takes a hit. At the same time, your engine needs more effort to turn over and your car's electrical systems work harder than ever—with heaters, headlights, and windscreen demisters all demanding power.

It’s no surprise that most battery failures happen in winter—and usually without warning.

Common Signs Your Battery Is On the Way Out

Keep an eye out for these signs that your battery might be on its last legs:

  • Slow or sluggish engine crank when starting
  • Headlights dim or flicker when idling or starting
  • Power windows, stereo, or other electronics acting up
  • Battery or engine light glowing on the dash
  • More difficult starts on cold or damp mornings
  • Recently jump-started more than once
  • Battery is 3–5 years old or older

What to Expect at Lambton Automotive

Our battery checks are fast, honest, and thorough. When you drop in, we’ll:

  • Test your battery’s voltage and load capacity
  • Check terminals for corrosion or loose connections
  • Give you clear, no-pressure advice based on real results
  • Offer same-day replacement if needed with quality, long-lasting batteries

We’ll help you avoid those inconvenient and costly breakdowns before they happen.
