    Can coke really clean your car's battery?

The fact of the matter is "yes" coke can clean some of the corrosion off the battery terminals. On the other-hand since almost all soft drinks have "carbonic acid". Maybe a nice sparkling club soda can do just as well.  Leaving both the sugar and unwanted sticky syrup out of the combination.

Generally battery corrosion happens over a period of time. Deterioration is commonly caused by a bad ground or cracked battery post.                                                
Primary causes of car starting difficulties:​

1. Dead battery.
2. Alternator or starter.
3. Corrosion
4. Bad or missing belts.
5. Loose cable connections.                                         

• Something was left turned on in vehicle. Overhead light, radio, lights or cell phone charger?                                                                           

• Wiggle the battery terminals to make sure connections are secure.                                                                      
• Make sure car is in park. Before turning key. Foot sometimes must depress brake pedal before starting.                                                          
• Standard transmission? Push clutch all the way to the floor before turning ignition key.                                                 
• Newer vehicles require you to put your foot on the brake pedal before starting.                                                
• Typically in colder winter months a "older" battery will not keep a charge.  How old is the battery in your vehicle?  Battery may have date code stamped on top of battery with warranty.                                                                    
• In some situations you must rotate and rock the steering wheel. This will free the key switch.                                                                           
• Call us now! we have a portable battery  jumper pack to start your car right away.           
• Does you car have a clicking sound when you turn the key? Maybe a bad starter.                      
• If your car had a red light on the dash when you were driving (and it looks like a battery) could indicate a bad alternator. The alternator charges the battery while driving.                        
• You may have either a loose belt or a bad belt. Or maybe your missing a drive belt altogether?
