AAA Car Battery

Can AAA change or install a battery?

For vehicles that won’t start, AAA road service technicians may provide certain battery services, such as testing the battery or the vehicle's starting and charging systems, attempting to jump-start the battery, or replacing it if it is old or under warranty. If you have a AAA battery that is under warranty, the replacement battery is free. If you do not have a AAA battery, the technician can still replace it on the spot [with a AAA battery purchased from the technician]. You are responsible for the cost of the battery and any possible additional labor.

What options do I have for battery issues with AAA?

Two types of services are offered to AAA members who have battery issues. The first is a simple jump start to get you back on the road quickly. Alternatively, a battery service technician may be sent to your vehicle. The battery service technician can test the vehicle's battery and starting and charging systems. If your battery fails the test, they can replace your battery. Battery technicians carry batteries for most vehicles in their trucks.

If a jump-start does not work, you also have the option to have the vehicle towed.
