Battery Testing and Replacement Near Tavares, FL
A failing battery can leave you stranded anywhere. RJ Fox Automotive performs battery testing and replacement for all makes and models at our Eustis shop, about ten minutes from Tavares on US-441 or SR-19 South.
Florida heat is hard on batteries. Most batteries in central Florida last three to five years. We load-test the battery under the current draw a starter requires, and we test the alternator and charging system at the same time to make sure a bad alternator is not what killed your battery.
