With winter weather just a few months away, AAA is offering free battery and electrical system checks for Mahoning Valley residents.

AAA's number one service call during winter months is dead car batteries. In 2022 alone, AAA East Central responded to over 250,000 battery-related calls. 

That's why AAA is celebrating Car Care Month by offering this free service to help motorists avoid being stranded with a dead battery during the winter.

The event will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 18 at 937 Youngstown Warren Road in Niles from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Technicians will determine if attendees' batteries are strong enough to endure the cold winter months. Attendees can purchase new batteries for their vehicles while there if needed.
