What Gilbert does to a battery
Heat is what kills batteries in Gilbert. Under-hood temperatures on a summer afternoon run far past what the thermometer says, and that heat speeds up the chemistry inside the battery: water evaporates from the electrolyte, the plates corrode and capacity drains away a little more every week. A battery that would last five years somewhere mild often gives out in two or three here, and it usually picks the first cool morning of fall to quit, when the engine asks for more cranking power than the tired battery has left.
From the Gilbert notes
- Like the rest of the Valley, Gilbert's summers are brutal on batteries, tires and cooling systems.
- Closed garages can get as hot as the street, so a garaged car isn't spared the heat that ages batteries, rubber and plastics.
- Test the battery in October or November, replace wiper blades the sun has cracked, and have hoses, belts and the A/C checked before May.
- Batteries, AC systems and cooling systems fail here faster than almost anywhere in the country.

+ 05 Questions
Gilbert battery questions
How long does a car battery last in Gilbert?
Usually two to three years. Desert heat ages a battery faster than anything else, so one that would last five years in a mild climate often fails in half that time here. If yours is past two years old, have it tested before summer.
Why did my battery die on a cool morning instead of in the heat?
Summer does the damage and fall reveals it. Heat wears the plates down all season; the first cool morning is when the engine needs more cranking power than the weakened battery can deliver.
Is an AGM battery worth it in Gilbert?
Often, yes. AGM batteries are sealed, don't lose water to evaporation and generally handle heat better than basic flooded batteries. If your car came with an AGM battery from the factory, it needs another AGM.
Do you bring the battery to me in Gilbert?
Yes. Call the number on this page with your year, make and model and where the car is. The tech brings the right battery, tests the charging system and installs it on the spot, at home, at work or at the roadside.
What if it isn't the battery?
The battery and charging system get tested before anything is replaced. If the alternator, starter or something else is to blame, you hear that first, and the Mobile Auto Repair page for Gilbert sends a mechanic for those repairs.
Do you take the old battery?
Yes. The old battery leaves with the tech and goes to be recycled, so there's nothing for you to haul anywhere.
Not the battery?
Need a mechanic in Gilbert?
If the test points to the alternator, starter or anything else, Mobile Auto Repair sends a mobile mechanic to Gilbert for the repair.
