When I get a phone call
asking me what my next move is in regards to an emergency auto battery repair
that I need to make, I tell them that I don't work that way and ask them if
they have a cell phone number or address that I can use for customer service. The
only thing that I will give away is my business website so that they can make
sure I am getting my work done quickly.
At this point, the
first question is why is a car battery repair going to be needed and if so,
when. The answer is simply because the battery is either having a serious
problem with it is dying. Either way, there is no time to waste when you are
stuck in traffic.
Now that I know the
reason why I am going to need a battery replacement, I am usually relieved that
it isn't a really bad surprise. Then I will learn about the solution and then
go on to explain what can be done for better convenience and more immediate
results.
To start with, the
battery must be removed and the positive terminal then connected to the
negative terminal of the battery. What follows is that the negative terminal of
the battery is connected to the battery terminal with a wire or terminal. It
then connects to the positive terminal to the positive terminal and the
negative terminal to the negative terminal of the battery. That is the basic
process.
Next, the battery needs
to be properly grounded and in the parking lot before it is moved to the
facility and no one with the company doesn't want to see the dreaded "Wire
is shorting out" error coming up on their screen. Many companies will tell
me that they will do that and more, but that is just a temporary fix.
Once the battery is
back in the garage, it needs to be thoroughly checked for any sort of problem
or damage. Not all cars are created equal, so the battery will be sent for a
diagnostic test, and hopefully a full inspection to make sure everything is
covered up and the battery is ready to go. This is when the phone calls start
coming in and the questions begin to pour in.
For example, how much
is the cost of the new battery? Does the battery need to be exchanged or will
they sell me a brand new battery for a wholesale price?
Then there is the fact
that I have to take my car back and have it changed over to the new battery and
then I need to pay for the labor that was used for making sure everything was
good before I could return the car. You see, if it weren't for the battery
there would be nothing to return, so it would have to come out of my pocket. If
this article has sparked your curiosity, consider giving it a read and see if
it is something that you might be interested in trying.
