How to Get a Free Car Battery Test

We know summer heat can do a number on your battery, so before winter hits, make an appointment at one of CAA’s free battery testing events. The events are held at four locations, and they’re also a great chance to ask a CAA battery technician any big questions you might have. Plus, if you purchase a CAA Premium Battery, you’ll get $25 off the non-member price.
