How does Auburn's climate affect this service?

Ice storms are the disruptive winter event here more than snow totals, and a commuter driving US-75 into Topeka daily needs tires and brakes rated for that swing, not just fair-weather performance..

How long should a car battery last in Kansas weather?

Is it the battery or the alternator if my car keeps dying?
A dying battery that gets jumped and then dies again within a day or two often points to the alternator not recharging it properly, or a parasitic drain pulling power while the car is off. A proper test on the whole charging system tells the difference, not just a battery swap.
