Mostly myth. Very old batteries had cases that could let power leak on damp concrete, but modern plastic cases do not have that problem. Batteries do slowly lose charge when they sit unused, no matter where they are stored. Need a battery check before the cold? Call or text 316-205-0015.

Our shop is closed Friday through Sunday, so today is the last day this week to get your car in. Halloween is Saturday, so please slow down in the neighborhoods and watch for trick-or-treaters.

Daylight saving time ends Sunday, November 1, which means more driving in the dark starting next week. Make sure your headlights, taillights and brake lights all work, and if your lights seem dim, let us check your battery and charging system.

Thank you for spending October in the Electrical and Diagnostics Lab with us. Call or text Central Auto Repair & Electric at 316-205-0015, or book at caewichita.com.

Myth or fact: Setting a car battery on a concrete floor will drain it. Comment MYTH or FACT, and we will post the answer tomorrow at noon.

Not everyone has time for a phone call in the middle of the workday. That is why you can call or text us at the same number, whichever is easier for you.

We also offer same-day estimates on charging and starting repairs and financing options for repairs that do not fit neatly into this month's budget. Our goal is to make getting your car fixed as simple and stress-free as possible.

Whether it is a warning light, a slow start or a battery that keeps dying, reach out and let us help. Call or text Central Auto Repair & Electric at 316-205-0015, or book at caewichita.com.

If your engine shakes at a stoplight, stumbles when you press the gas or takes several tries to start, something is not working the way it should. These are drivability problems, and they can come from many different places.

A car that runs rough can waste fuel and cause more damage over time if the problem is ignored. The key is finding the real cause instead of guessing and replacing parts one by one.

Our technicians diagnose rough running, hard starting and other drivability problems, and we explain what we find before any work begins. Call or text Central Auto Repair & Electric at 316-205-0015, or book at caewichita.com.

The answer is 1912. Cadillac offered the electric self-starter, developed by Charles Kettering, and it changed driving forever. Today's starters are much smaller, but they still work hard every time you turn the key. Clicking or grinding when you start? Call or text 316-205-0015.

Your dashboard lights use colors to tell you how serious a problem is. Red usually means stop and pay attention right away, such as a charging warning or engine temperature warning. Amber or yellow usually means something needs to be checked soon. Green and blue lights are typically just letting you know a feature is on.

If you see a warning light you do not recognize, your owner's manual can tell you what the symbol means. If it stays on, let our team take a look.

We diagnose unusual dash indicators on all domestic and foreign vehicles. Call or text Central Auto Repair & Electric at 316-205-0015, or book at caewichita.com.

Before electric starters, drivers had to start their cars by turning a hand crank at the front of the car. What year did Cadillac introduce the first electric self-starter on a production car? Comment your guess, and we will post the answer tomorrow at noon.

Wichita's first freeze usually shows up somewhere between late October and early November. Cold weather makes it harder for a battery to deliver power, while the engine needs more power to start.

That combination is why so many batteries seem to fail on the first cold morning of the season. The truth is, they were usually getting weak for a while.

Our free battery check is a quick way to know where your battery stands before the cold arrives. We are open Monday through Thursday, and we are closed Friday through Sunday, so call or text today to get in this week. Call or text Central Auto Repair & Electric at 316-205-0015, or book at caewichita.com.
