When is a Car Jump Start Required? 


If the battery in your car is too weak to provide the power to start your engine, you will either need to replace the battery or have the car jump started. Jump starting is the best and most highly recommended option until you are certain that the problem is actually a failing battery. There are other mechanical problems that can prevent a car from starting. An electrical shortage can drain the battery. A failure of the ignition system may also be the cause of the clicking sound or lack of vehicle response. Unless you are a mechanic it could be difficult to diagnose the problem on your own. Purchasing a battery before you know what the problem is for certain, may lead you to incur an expense that is unnecessary.

​How Jump Starting Works 


When a car battery is presumed to be dead, one of our technicians can conduct a quick check of the vehicle charging system. This allows him or her to know if there is a problem that exists beyond the battery. Our company dispatches a service truck with the capacity for generating high current so that there is ample power to jump start any vehicle with a dead or severely weakened battery. 

First, the cables and connection posts are checked for looseness or excessive amounts of corrosion and build up. The technician may clean them with special tools if required. This allows for a better flow of energy when the jump is administered. A set of jumper cables is used to connect the power source to your battery so that the power can be transferred, giving you the energy that is needed to start your car. You'll be told if any other problems have been identified at the time of service.

Options When Battery Jump Start Option Does Not Work 


It's always good to have a backup plan in case the first strategy doesn't work. If there are additional mechanical issues, simply charging the battery may not be enough to get the car running again. When this is the case, it may be necessary to move the vehicle to a more suitable or desirable location. Our tow service can safely transport your vehicle to your home, a repair shop or wherever else is needed, without the need for additional phone calls or waiting. When we arrive we are prepared to provide any additional services that you may require.

Dangers of Trying to Jump Start Your Own Vehicle 

If you do not have the knowledge or experience needed to safely jump start a car battery, you should not attempt it by yourself. There is a risk of electrical shock and burns or eye damage from flying sparks if it is done incorrectly. Corrosive compounds that collect on the battery terminal posts can cause chemical burns on the skin. It can not only bring harm to you, it can cause damage to your vehicle, so the best practice is to rely on professionals who are experienced in the delivery of jump start services. 

How to Stay Safe While Waiting For A Service Technician to Arrive 

When a vehicle won't start, it's important to call for help as quickly as possible. Be prepared to give our company’s dispatcher your location, the nature of the problem, and a complete description of the vehicle. This helps us reach you more quickly and come prepared. If you're unsure of the name of the road you're on, give the dispatcher a few landmarks which are nearby. After you've secured help, keep your car doors locked and the windows rolled up. Avoid letting your guard down if strangers offer assistance. Crack the window just low enough to let them know that help is on the way. If you're in a high traffic area, turn on your four way flashers to alert passing traffic that your car is disabled. This can also help the roadside technician to more quickly identify your car.
