Battery Service in Alexandria

The battery is your Kia's main power source. It converts chemical energy into electrical energy and helps not only start the engine, but also keeps it running.

The lifespan of a car battery is short-lived. Harsh Washington D.C. winters and cold temperatures can cause battery capacity to deteriorate. That's why frequent battery inspections at the Ourisman Alexandria Kia service center are important. We have Kia-certified technicians who assess the battery, get a voltage reading, and run advance diagnostics to determine battery health. A new battery can keep your Kia running for years to come!
