They always do a great job on the repairs, offered at a great price, and they get the repairs done quickly… A personal thank you to the owner/manager Quenton for getting my car in when I needed the repairs done quickly.

I've been to Rad Air before and was happy with the service… an oil change place couldn't remove the bolts to get the skid plate off my vehicle. I took it to Rad Air and they didn't charge extra for that. I'll use them again.

Good to know

Akron Car Battery Replacement FAQs

Where can I get a car battery replaced near me in Akron?
If you're searching for car battery replacement near you, Rad Air is at 1200 West Portage Trail in Akron's Merriman Valley — serving Cuyahoga Falls, Tallmadge, Stow and all of Summit County. We test first, then install a quality battery.
How do I know if my car battery is dying?
Watch for a slow engine crank, dim headlights, a clicking sound when starting, dashboard warning lights, or a battery more than 3 to 5 years old. We can test it for free.
Is my problem the battery or the alternator?
A dead battery is often caused by a failing alternator that isn't charging it. We test the whole charging system so you replace the part that's actually bad — not just the battery.
How long does a car battery last?
Most car batteries last 3 to 5 years, though extreme heat and cold and lots of short trips shorten their life. We'll check yours at every visit so a failure doesn't surprise you.
Do you test batteries for free?
Yes. We test your battery and charging system at no charge and show you the results, so you only replace it when it's genuinely failing.
How much does a battery replacement cost?
It depends on the battery your vehicle needs — modern and start-stop vehicles use more advanced batteries. Rad Air Akron gives upfront pricing, plus financing for larger electrical repairs.
Do you warranty battery and electrical work?
Yes. Electrical work is backed by our 36-month/36,000-mile (whichever comes first) parts and labor warranty, and new alternators, starters and electrical components are covered by our Fixed for Life limited lifetime warranty. Batteries carry their own manufacturer's warranty. See our full warranty for details.

Backed by the Fixed for Life Warranty
