A dead battery often brings up the question, &ldquo;Does my auto insurance policy cover a dead battery?&rdquo; The answer to the question is &ldquo;No.&rdquo; Unfortunately, auto insurance policies do not cover car batteries that die from wear and tear.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">Though your auto insurance does not cover your dead battery, call our agents at Sound Choice Insurance Agency Inc to learn what is covered.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\"><strong>Car Battery Costs<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">Depending upon the vehicle and brand of battery purchased, it can cost between $50 and $200 to replace a dead battery. This amount is typically far less than most deductibles, which means that it would not be worth filing a claim even if your auto insurance policy covered it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\"><strong>Roadside Assistance<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">If you have roadside assistance with your car insurance company, should your battery die, you do have coverage for help jump-starting your vehicle or towing it to a repair shop. However, there may be a mileage limit to your roadside assistance towing coverage, which means you may have a bill to cover any additional mileage.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">In addition to helping jump your battery or tow your car, roadside assistance also covers fuel deliveries, lockout services, and changing a flat tire. Purchasing roadside assistance with your insurance plan can range from $20 to $40 or more per year, with prices varying by car insurance plan and company.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">Though you cannot buy car insurance to cover a dead battery in Lynnwood, WA, the experts at Sound Choice Insurance Agency Inc can help you find the best car insurance available for your vehicle.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Car batteries tend to die when you least expect it, sometimes leaving you scratching your head wondering how you can afford to fix it in Lynnwood, WA.
