Automotive Industry News & Information - Creekside Automotive

As cars become more technologically advanced, the importance of your vehicle’s battery becomes more important. In the old days, a car battery essentially worked, or it didn’t; if it was good enough to start the car, it was good enough. Moderns vehicles are a different story. A faulty battery can cause a variety of issues, including engine codes, sensor failures, irregular transmission behavior, and the list goes on.

At Creekside Automotive in Rowlett, TX, our mechanics are familiar with modern vehicles and the problems that accompany them.
