Ashcraft Tire & Auto sells and installs Interstate Batteries for cars, pickups and SUVs. We test your battery and charging system first, so you replace only what your vehicle actually needs.
Look for the Interstate Batteries sign in our front window on N 6th Street. Interstate is one of the most recognized battery brands in America, and we sell and install their batteries for everyday cars, work pickups and family SUVs. When your vehicle won't start, you want a battery you can trust and a shop that installs it right.
Every Interstate battery we sell comes with Interstate's standard warranty. When you buy a new battery from us, we'll take your old one in exchange. Please note we're not a drop-off location for used batteries purchased elsewhere.
If you notice any of these, have the battery tested before it leaves you stranded at work or on a county road.
Summer heat speeds up the chemical breakdown inside a battery, and the damage shows up months later when the first cold snap arrives. A battery that started fine all summer can fail on the first 20-degree morning, because cold weather makes the engine harder to turn over while the battery has less power to give. A quick test in the fall is the easiest way to avoid a no-start in January.
A no-start isn't always the battery. A failing alternator won't recharge the battery as you drive, and a bad starter can't turn the engine over even with a good battery. That's why we test before we replace:
We carry Interstate heavy-duty and agricultural batteries for work trucks, diesel pickups, tractors and farm equipment. Tell us what you're running and we'll match the right battery to the job. Call 620-331-3730 to check availability.
Personable and professsional. Highly recommended.
