For all the new drivers on the road, young and old, Dale's Auto Repair in Baton Rouge, LA would like to welcome you to the automotive community. Here are a few wise words to live by, to make your entrance into the driving world go as smoothly as possible.

Your vehicle'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, which is where a car battery comes into play. The battery holds electrical energy while a car is off in order to help the engine turn over and create a spark to start internal combustion. Without a working battery, your car will not be able to start. If you perform proper maintenance, however, an average car battery can start your car reliably for roughly four years.

The condition of your transmission fluid can tell you a lot about the condition of the transmission itself. At Dale's Auto Repair in Baton Rouge, LA, we want to help you be aware of what to look for and what we look for when servicing your transmission. 

If you own or operate a fleet or commercial vehicle, you’ve undoubtedly heard the horrible squeal of a belt on its last leg. Luckily, Dale's Auto Repair in Baton Rouge, LA has the solution.
