Car battery replacement in Iowa

Humid continental with hot summers and genuinely cold winters, often with wind that makes it feel colder. Roads are salted and sanded hard. Batteries, starters and corroded brake lines are the winter story; summer heat and humidity bring their own wear.

• Blizzards and ice on I-80 and I-35, bitter wind chill that kills batteries, spring flooding on the big rivers, deer on every rural road, and summer derechos that have flattened whole cities' worth of trees and cars in a single afternoon.
