Battery Test and Inspection in Laurel, MS

Battery Test and Inspection in Laurel, MS

Getting your car back into great condition is our specialty here at Kim's CDJR! Bring your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram to our Service Department, and we can supply you with quality assistance and Mopar Parts. For now, learn about getting a battery test and inspection for your car. 

Battery Purpose

The battery beneath the hood of your vehicle is very important, as it is responsible for starting the engine when you turn the key in the ignition. It sends a life-giving signal to the spark plug, which in turn fires up the motor. In addition to this, your electronic devices are empowered by the battery. This includes the speakers, touchscreens, and phone chargers in your cabin, so entertainment on I-59 will certainly be lackluster if your battery is running low. Because of the regular use that this system gets, as well as the hot weather we have in Mississippi, you should get an inspection at least once a year to ensure that you can continue your local adventures.

Test

When you visit our nearby location for a battery test, our team members will use specialized tools to evaluate the current condition of the component. With a multimeter, we can see what the charge level of the battery is, which will tell us if it needs to be reenergized. If it’s unable to sustain power for very long, this indicates that it may be on its last legs. However, if the battery is in good shape, we can let you know how much more life it has left in it. The testing process is very quick, so consider pairing it with another form of routine maintenance, such as a tire rotation or oil change. 

Inspection

There is more to a car battery than simply the power it holds. Even if its energy levels are high, it can still be at risk of failure if its components are damaged. Rust and corrosion on the terminals can collect during everyday trips to Daphne Park. Since they can sap electricity over time, we will check for these substances during our inspection. Also, if the sides of the battery are swollen, it may mean you need a new one. It can lead to dangerous acid leaks if left unattended, so visit us right away if you notice such a warning sign. We make it easy to reach out to us using the Ask a Tech form on our website. Get in touch with us if you have any questions.

How Frequently Should You Get a Battery Test and Inspection?

  • We recommend getting a battery test and inspection at least once a year, but twice a year can help you to stay even more up to date!

I have purchased not one but TWO cars from Kim’s and has had the best experience both times. I normally work with Miracle/MiMi who always has a welcoming spirit and presents one of the best attitudes at Kim’s . I absolutely love my vehicle and the process was made really smooth.

My husband bought his 2023 sublime metallic Challenger Wednesday the 28th of May 2025. We had the best experience we had ever had with a dealership. Our sales lady was charlee. Love, love her. She's a beautiful lady. Makes you feel special from the minute you meet her. Mr. Mike walley is wonderful to work with. He will help you anyway he can. They will make your dream car come true. Thank you both for everything. I recommend this dealership to everyone.

Friendly staff, Dakota was an awesome service manager and Karlee helped tremendously in getting us into a rental. Had our car in service for several months but I understand they have changed their protocol for taking in cars for service which should make it a quicker process. Will certainly use them again if the need arises.

Had an appointment for 1pm that I was not going to make. I called and was told to come on in as a walk-in and they took care of everything accordingly. The attendant was absolutely awesome (can’t remember his name). He kept everyone informed in a timely manner and even found a good coupon for my order. I left very satisfied.

I made an appointment for an oil change at 8 AM today. I arrived at 7:45 AM and they were not finished on my my oil change on my RAM 2500 3/4 ton gas truck until 10:15AM. I feel 2.5 hours is to long when you make an appointment for the oil change and no other repairs were made at that time.

Craig the Sales Manager needs to be trained immediately on how to speak with customers who are trying to purchase a vehicle or negotiate pricing. This Sales Manager was very loud, unprofessional with a customer, belittled, talking reckless, and just walking away causing a scene over negotiating a price for a truck. As a company this is UNACCEPTABLE.

Salemen never calls me back. Sales manager told me that the price would be lower within few days. I called back he said no price change. He showed me no interest, not important in making a deal. Yelling at me, this was unprofessional and bullying. More interested in just moving on to next customer.After all that, he walked off with other Salemen watching Friday afternoon March 28,2025.

When I bought my vehicle from them 5 years ago, they wouldn't call me back to fix an issue they caused. Now, the Kim's dealership family won't stop calling and emailing me trying to buy or sell me something.

They do not tell you anything or answer their phone. Waited on hold for 41 mins just for them to tell me there is nothing they can do. I got a car not even 30days ago from them and it’s in the shop due to the coolant missing out of the car. I will not be returning to this place ever again.
