At Park Place Motorcars Dallas our service team sources OEM-grade batteries and installs them following factory recommendations, ensuring compatibility with the vehicle’s electrical architecture. This approach reduces the risk of voltage-related faults and preserves ancillary components like the alternator and onboard control modules.

Our technicians verify the factory specification and install the exact OEM or approved equivalent battery to ensure the correct size and capacity. This attention to detail helps maintain the car’s original performance and reliability.
