Your car’s battery offers electrical current to your vehicle, feeding the starter. You need a working car battery to start your engine. When a battery is running low, your car may be slow to start or make a sort of stuttering noise. When your battery is gone, you’ll know it fast: Your engine won’t start, and your interior lights won’t come on. When that happens, you won’t be going anywhere until you get your battery recharged or replaced.

If you’re a AAA member, you can get help from us, including:

  • Replacement and testing of your car battery and charging system: If you’re in a covered area and you qualify, this on-the-spot service will come to you free of charge.
  • AAA batteries: AAA batteries, if they’re right for your vehicle, are a strong choice. They’re engineered to handle any climate. If you qualify, you’ll also enjoy a three-year warranty. See PDF for warranty details.
  • Savings: When you buy a AAA battery with your membership, you’ll save at least $25 on our already competitive car battery prices.
  • Old battery removal: When you use AAA battery services, we’ll recycle and dispose of your old car battery.

To find out what services are offered in your area and included in your membership, contact your local AAA office.

What happens when I call AAA battery service?

If you have a AAA membership and contact us for roadside assistance, our technicians will first try to jump start the battery to ensure you can get back to your driving fast. If your car can’t be jump-started, a battery service technician may need to come out to take a look at the battery to test it, the alternator and starter. If your car’s battery can’t pass these tests, technicians can replace your battery. Most carry a variety of batteries. You also have the option of getting your vehicle towed to your mechanic or home and seeking another service.

If you have a AAA battery in your car, it includes a six-year warranty and a three-year free replacement.
