Your car’s radio and headlights, plus a slew of other important functions, are powered by an electrical current generated by your vehicle’s engine. A vital part of generating electricity is having a place to store it while it’s not being used. This is where your car battery comes into play.

If you allow our team here at Midway Diesel LLC to perform proper maintenance, an average car battery can start your car reliably for roughly four years.
