Why does a battery need to be serviced?

Battery Corrosive liquids or gases from car batteries often lead to corrosion of battery terminals and cables. The white, green, or blue corrosive deposits found on automotive battery posts are the primary cause of decreased battery life and performance.

Corrosion creates a conduit for power to drain from the battery continuously, even when the vehicle is not running. Which may cause, slow engine cranking, Erratic function of electrical components, and dashboard warning lights!

The BG Battery Service removes all corrosion and insulates the charge of battery posts from the battery case to inhibit corrosive buildup. The best way to prevent battery problems is with annual preventive maintenance.

How We Perform The BG Battery Service

First, BG Battery Cleaner & Leak Detector is used to remove buildup from battery terminals, cables, and carriers. BG Battery Terminal Protectors are installed onto the posts. Then, BG Ignition & Battery Terminal Sealer is applied to the clean components.

Why service a cooling system?

When coolant degrades, the additives that inhibit corrosion in the cooling system begin to deplete. Once those additives are exhausted, the coolant becomes acidic and starts to corrode system components, such as the water pump, radiator, and thermostat.

Even the slightest buildup of these materials on heat transfer surfaces prevents proper circulation, drastically affecting the engine’s ability to shed heat. Results can include water pump failure, blown head gaskets, and warped heads.

How We Perform The BG Cooling System Service

We use our specialized cooling system flush machine along with BG products — including BG System Cleaner, which removes rust, mineral deposits, and other residues that accumulate in the system.

Worn out and contaminated coolant is then exchanged with fresh coolant and BG Conditioner, to protect the cooling system from corrosion, foaming, and acidic contamination.

When should you get a BG Cooling System Service?

• Coolant is contaminated, low, or more than 5 years old
