Trust the Thelen Auto Group to Test & Replace Your Vehicle’s Battery
The battery in your family’s vehicle is such a vital piece to its overall well-being. When it starts getting older or is damaged, the likelihood of your battery failing and being unable to supply power to the components that need it most increases. As such, it is important to routinely have your battery tested to ensure you are safely getting around Central Michigan throughout the year. If you are concerned about the state of your vehicle’s battery, let the knowledgeable technicians at any of the Thelen Auto Group Service Centers in Bay City provide a battery test. If we find that your vehicle does need a replacement, we will make sure you get a battery that is suitable for your make and model to give you the most consistent performance possible.
What Are Warning Signs That Your Battery Might Need Replacing?
Noticeable Damage and/or Corrosion –
One of the best ways to determine if you need to have your battery replaced is to open the hood of your vehicle and look at the battery itself. If you see any sort of cracking on the exterior, please schedule a battery replacement as soon as possible. The same is true if you see signs of corrosion on the terminals. Leaving these unchecked will result in an eventual battery failure.
Flickering Dashboard Lights / Electronics Cut In & Out –
As your battery gets weaker, it will struggle to maintain a charge and supply consistent power to everything in your vehicle. One noteworthy way that you can suspect your battery is reaching its end is if the lights in your vehicle and other electronic features start cutting in and out. This could include the music intermittently stopping from the infotainment system.
Longer Average Startup Time –
If you notice that your vehicle takes longer than usual to start up, this is another potential sign that you need to have your battery tested. A fresh battery will start your vehicle up quickly as it can supply plenty of power to the starter. However, a weak or damaged battery will take longer to get to that same level of charge. While it could also be a sign of something else other than the battery, it is a good idea to have our team conduct a battery test if you are uncertain.

Make Your Next Vehicle Test Drive Better with Tips from the Thelen Auto Group
A test drive really is the best way to get a confident sense of how a vehicle will fit into your family’s everyday travel needs. Everything from the performance to the interior amenities can be tested and evaluated to make sure they meet your expectations. If you are looking to test drive a prospective vehicle from any of the Thelen Auto Group dealerships in Bay City, MI, let us share with you our five favorite tips to make the most out of your appointment! We are confident that when you incorporate these tips into your next test drive, you’ll come out of it with a positive experience and a more informed purchasing decision.
Our Favorite Test Drive Tips in Mid-Michigan
1. Research Your Vehicle Before You Arrive!
Are you looking at a new vehicle or one of the many quality pre-owned options that we have available across our family of locations? Before you visit us to start your test drive appointment, browse the online inventory page on our website! You’ll get all relevant information such as engine, drivetrain, and interior amenity details so that you know what to expect before you arrive.
2. Bring Items That You Plan on Regularly Having With You
A great vehicle can still be the wrong option if it doesn’t cater to the items you are consistently traveling with. As such, bring those items you and your family routinely carry along for the ride. If you have an infant, bring along a car seat so that you can see how it fits in the prospective vehicle. This way, you won’t have to second guess if the vehicle is the right choice after you purchase it!
3. Thoroughly Look Over the Interior & Exterior of the Vehicle
Even though we maintain the vehicles at our various locations very well, we still actively encourage you to take the time to inspect the car, truck, or SUV that you plan on purchasing before you start driving. This way you can make sure you are thrilled with the interior and exterior of the vehicle.
4. Ask Questions!
The friendly and knowledgeable sales professional who will accompany you on your test drive isn’t just there to be a second person in the vehicle. We think it is so important to ask any additional questions you might have about the vehicle. Whether it is before the drive, during the drive, or afterward, please feel free to ask anything where you might have a concern or want to know more about!
5. Drive Normally for Your Style
Everyone in mid-Michigan drives differently. As such, any vehicle will handle and feel differently based on who is behind the wheel. Therefore, make sure you drive like you normally do in your current vehicle. By doing so, you will get a sense of how the steering, acceleration, and braking all feel based on your style. Depending on the time of year, you can also get an idea of how the vehicle will handle different road conditions. No matter when you do, our route will ensure that you get to experience all aspects of the vehicle during your test drive. Remember to follow all safety directives and laws during your test drive.

Dashboard Lights & Their Importance in Vehicle Maintenance
Dashboard lights are the key to making sure you are always on top of the overall health of your vehicle in mid-Michigan. When your vehicle detects an issue somewhere, it will display a light with a special icon signifying the component of your automobile that is currently having a problem that should be addressed. Knowing what different dashboard lights mean will make sure you are getting your vehicle appropriately maintained. The Thelen Auto Group series of Service Centers in Bay City, MI, want to be your go-to destination for remedying the issues that pop up when those lights appear. If you have any strange icons appear on your dashboard, let our team of technicians help you get those lights taken care of quickly so that you can get back on the road with confidence.
What Do Different Dashboard Lights Mean When They Appear?
Engine Icon / Check Engine Light – While fairly self-explanatory, these lights can be an indicator of a wide array of issues. If these pop up on your dashboard, your vehicle could be experiencing anything ranging from a minor engine repair to something more severe. Regardless of the exact cause, our team wants to make sure you contact us immediately if this appears so that you can have the problem properly diagnosed and fixed.
Oil Can – A picture of an oil can with a drop of oil coming out of its spout is often a result of low oil pressure being detected. While this is usually a result of low oil levels, this could also be caused by a leak somewhere in the oil system that is causing the low oil levels. This is especially true if the light appears sooner than usual after an oil change. Either way, schedule an appointment to let our knowledgeable team establish the cause of this indicator.
Battery – Another light that can mean multiple issues, a picture of a generic battery that appears on your dashboard could be something as simple as it getting weak and needing a replacement. However, it could also be an indicator that your vehicle’s alternator is not working and is failing to keep the battery charged. As such, we recommend making an appointment as quickly as possible if this light appears so that our team can determine the exact cause of the notification.
