What is a Car Battery Check Service?
A battery check service is a simple procedure that can be done any day of the week during our convenient service hours. Our certified technicians are able to test the power output of the battery, which allows them to estimate if it needs to be replaced or provide a timeline for how long it will last. Most batteries last around three to five years, but factors such as driving style and weather can affect this lifespan. That’s why we highly recommend getting a battery test once a year to stay ahead of the game. Just before winter or summer is a great time, since extreme heat or cold causes the battery to work even harder.
In addition to the electrical test, our mechanics will also take a look and the cleanliness of the battery. Rust, dirt, or other debris can cause the battery to fail. The same goes for the terminal ends that connect the battery. Making sure the wires are not loose or cracked can actually extend the life of your current battery. Since this appointment is quick and easy, you may want to go ahead and combine an oil change or a tire rotation service. Be sure to check out our ongoing special offers and coupons as well!
Parts and Installation Options
When it is time for a new battery, not to worry, since our comprehensive Parts Department has the right kind for your Hyundai model and year. While you sit back and relax with a cup of complimentary gourmet coffee in our customer waiting lounge, we’ll install the new battery and test it out to ensure proper power output. If you’re interested in installing the battery at home, you can also order the part and we’ll have it ready for pickup. Our Ask a Tech form is available 24/7 in case you aren’t sure which battery to order or simply want to know how long you can drive with the battery warning light on in the instrument gauge.

“ I worked with Halley and she was amazing! She made my buying experience extremely easy. I was trying to figure out how to drop off a car that I had borrowed and get back to the dealership. She offered to follow me to drop off the car and then I drove her back. She’s amazing and I definitely will return here to buy cars in the future. ”

“ (Translated by Google) undefined (Original) We had a great experience purchasing our Hyundai Tucson from Pohanka Hyundai of Fredericksburg. Charles Degan was professional, helpful, and made the entire process smooth and straightforward. He spent a lot of time with my daughter to ensure that she knew how to use all of the car’s features. This is my daughter’s first car purchase and she loves the Tucson hybrid. We also want to thank Roman for having her out-the-door price locked in before going to the dealership, which made everything go much more smoothly. Being able to submit her financing pre-approval online ahead of time was another big plus and helped the payment process move quickly. Highly recommend this dealership and team. ”

Easy check in, very clean waiting area (Great Coffee!}, and kept me updated with the progress. Kristina was very friendly and professional! Took the Palisade in for scheduled maintenance. Continued easy check-in and quick service, very professional. Coffee is still good! ”
“ The heater went out in my car and I called Pohanka Hyundai . I was able to get in the next morning and they diagnosed the problem and also found my battery needed replacing. The lady who handled my account, I think her name is Nicole, was so friendly and helpful. It didn’t take very long to fix my car and the cost was reasonable. It was a great experience! ”

“ Best automobile purchase experience I have ever had. Our sales representative Charles was helpful and extremely knowledgeable. He took time to explain how each of the vehicle systems worked and programmed my wife's phone so calls would be immediately sent to the vehicle. We joked back and forth through the entire experience. He called me the next day to see how we were doing and to ask if we had any questions. My wife had a procedure at the hospital and we had little time to try out everything. Charles understood and said he would check back with us in a few days. Very pleased with Charles and everyone else that we dealt with. Great experience! ”
“ I initially had an issue with my experience, but the general sales manager, Roman, reached out to me personally, listened to my concerns, and took immediate action to resolve everything. He handled the situation professionally and made sure I left satisfied. I truly appreciate the level of care and customer service from management. Thank you, Pohanka Hyundai, for standing behind your customers and making things right. ”
“ Our Hyundai had a dash light come on in Virginia and we were able to take it to POHANKA Hyundai. Knowing we were heading back to VT they fixed the broken belt & got us on our way! We are so appreciative of their friendly service!! ”
“ I have now purchased two vehicles from Pohanka and both times Lindsey has helped me out. Both times I’ve had a fantastic sales experience. She is amazing at explaining everything and making the process so smooth! ”
“ Thank you to Pohanka Hyundai and Justin for making purchasing a car a hassle free experience. ”
“ We were looking around the Pohanka Hyundai lot one late afternoon when Larry McGill introduced himself to us. We described what we were looking for and what the budget was. Larry showed us a beautiful Tucson XRT, Titan Gray. AJ, Larry and the business office worked very hard for us. We had issues with a local car buyer and the bank would not release any of the funds for 14 days. Pohanka gave us a loaner at no cost for that entire time and they really didn’t have to. I’m 65 years old and have purchased several vehicles over the years and I have never felt as comfortable as I did when we did our business with Pohanka. Larry McGill is a tireless worker with the perfect mentality for his profession. Shop at Pohanka Hyundai and ask for Larry. He will treat you right. Ron & Deborah ”
“ My husband and I purchased a Hyundai Sonata from Pohanka today. Lynsey greeted us at the door to assist us. She was friendly, patient and knowledgeable. She was able to answer all our questions with confidence! We were very comfortable with her and look forward to having her assist us in the future with our next vehicle purchase! ”
“ Seamless Experience, Great Car, and the Best Salesman (Ask for Justin!) I recently purchased my new vehicle from Pohanka Hyundai of Fredericksburg, and I had to write a review. The entire experience deserves the highest praise, particularly because of my salesman, Justin. From the moment I walked in, Justin demonstrated a no-BS, friendly, and highly professional attitude. There was zero pressure—just a clear focus on getting me the exact vehicle I wanted, period. It was genuinely refreshing to work with someone who respected my time and prioritized my needs over a typical sales pitch. If you want a straightforward, honest transaction, ask for Justin. If you are in the market for a new Hyundai just go straight to Pohanka Hyundai of Fredericksburg. Highly recommend! ”
“ Courteous , professional service . They are informative with repairs needed and costs up front and provided me with a much needed rental . Awesome ! ”
“ This was honestly a breath of fresh air with getting my car serviced and at a dealership overall. Christy was so kind and helpful, she went above and beyond to make sure we were getting the right services to get my car back in good shape and made sure to explain each service in detail. The technicians did a phenomenal and quick job with the repairs. Even the call I got the day before my service asking if I was interested in selling or trading-in was friendly and respectful when my response was no. This location was extremely helpful and cared about me as a customer, which will be the reason I return the next time I need service on my car. ”
“ We had a great experience buying our new Santa Fe! Charles went above and beyond to help us. I love my new car! ”
“ Smooth, up front, honest sale. Ask for Larry, he did a great job communicating and working with us through the entire purchase process. ”
“ I've been a customer with Hyundai of Fredericksburg since 2016, and the service is still "top notch". Some of the same staff ive worked with since 2016 is still there, if that tells you anything. Happier staff means good quality and happy customers. I plan on buying a 3rd Hyundai from them, in the near future. I completely 100% trust the service department with their work. And ill drive an hour just to have my car taken care of by Hyundai of Fredericksburg. Thanks again for your outstanding service. ”
“ Roman, AJ and Lindsey were phenomenal, and they went out of their way to help me get what I wanted and what was best for me. Went in to get a used car for commuting and Roman made a deal on a new car that was a better fit and better rate. I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to deal with. I’m extremely pleased with my purchase. ”
“ MY wife and I had been contemplating purchasing a new vehicle. We stopped by the dealership and was promptly met by a smiling gentleman named Larry. We shared with him our interest in the Santa Fe. He quickly went and got the key. Then went over every detail about the car. My wife quickly became excited but had reservations. He showed us a used version with less than 6500. He explained the differences between the vehicles. After careful thought, we purchased the 2025 Forest Green Calligraphy! Awesome! Larry is Da Man! Mr. and Mrs. Barnard ”
“ I had an excellent experience buying my car! Ms. Yiana Shaw was friendly, honest, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. She answered all my questions, gave me a fair deal, and took the time to make sure I was comfortable with my purchase. I’m so happy with my new car — it runs great and looks even better. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and great customer service! ”
“ Great people and excellent service! ”
“ Everyone was so polite would definitely go back ”
“ Pohanka had some great deals and great vehicles for purchase, their service crew was great, I showed up late to my oil change/ state inspection and they still fit me in instead of making me reschedule. They also got my oil change and inspection done very quickly. I'm only leaving 4 stars instead of 5 because when I bought my 2022 Santa fe I noticed there was a big paint chip on one of the doors. They promised they would give me a paint match marker. It was on back order so they told me when it came in they would give it to me, but it's been about a year now and still no marker/paint pen.... ”
“ I came to the dealership frustrated that my car was essentially dying, I walked in and was immediately greeted by Charles; I wanted a used car but with interest rates it was better to go for new, the financial guy, I can’t remember his name, was great and very helpful explaining the difference! There was a point I felt like Charles was frustrated that I didn’t like the car, and I was quick to say I wasn’t buying a car I didn’t like, then he changed his way of talking/speaking, at one point I felt rushed because he said well I have an appointment at noon, but after getting the car, doing the paper work he wanted to show me details of my new car which I declined, I was doing being at a dealership for the day! After my tire light turned on and I couldn’t get it off, the service manager was so nice and helpful getting it figured out. Overall, I’m very outspoken and knew what I wanted vs what I wasn’t going to do which helped because I wasn’t going to be pressured into something I did not like. Charles did call me a few days later to see how the car was nice To add to this, he wanted me to do a survey, when I didn’t agree to do it at the dealership, he stopped contacting me for my free tank of gas because “he needed to make sure I put the correct answers” I guess he didn’t want a true survey! ”
“ There were several additional optional charges added to the final price of the vehicle without my consent or explanation of the options. I have not had such a horrible experience at a dealership. I was able to remove some of the items but it was very shady that it was put on there to begin with without disclosing or discussion of whether or not I wanted any of those options. ”
“ Terrible experience. I purchased a 2020 Hyundai Tucson in 2023. There have been nothing but problems with it. I already had to get the engine replaced for the vehicle. Thank god for the warranty, but I was left paying out of pocket for a rental. The engine replacement took over a month. Eventually, a rental became available for me. Now that the engine has been replaced, I took it to another mechanic for a second opinion because I felt like the vehicle felt underpowered. The mechanic actually used to be a Hyundai mechanic and told me to take it back. The car feels underpowered with the new engine. I took it back and was told there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. Another issue I have is my loan, I OVERPAID for this car! Somehow, I still owe over 25,000 for this lemon of a car. I could have purchased a brand-new vehicle from Honda for the price I paid. Just beware of this place! They're in it for the money, not the client! ”
