What Is a Battery Jump Start?
A jump start gives a dead battery enough power to start the engine. Our driver connects a jump pack or cables to your battery, you start the car, and the alternator takes over from there.
Most jump start calls take only a few minutes once the truck arrives.
How to Tell the Battery Is Dead
- You hear clicking, but the engine will not crank.
- Dash lights look weak or flicker.
- The engine clicks or stays silent when you try to start it.
- The car started slowly for a few days before it quit.
- You left the lights or a door open overnight.
Why Batteries Die in North Texas
Heat is hard on car batteries. Long Texas summers speed up the wear inside the battery, and many batteries here last only a few years. Cold snaps in winter then push a weak battery over the edge.
Short trips around Allen, Plano and McKinney may not give the battery time to recharge, which also adds up.
Where We Jump Cars
- Home driveways and apartment lots
- Office parks and parking garages
- Grocery stores, malls and outlet lots
- Gas stations and highway shoulders
For cars stuck in a covered garage, see Parking Garage Towing.
If a Jump Does Not Work
Sometimes the problem is the starter, alternator or a bad battery cell. If a jump does not do it, the same truck can haul it to a mechanic or your driveway. See Flatbed Towing for AWD and electric cars.
Signs Your Battery Is the Problem
- The engine clicks or cranks slowly.
- Dash lights look weak or flicker.
- The car sat for a long time or the lights were left on.
- The battery is more than three or four years old.
Texas summer heat is hard on car batteries. If your car needs a jump more than once, have the battery and charging system tested.
