Power
A dead battery at an hour when the car park is empty
Lights left on. A car that sat through a cold night. You turn the key and get a click. We come with a pack, start it if the battery will take a start, and tell you if it needs replacing rather than another hopeful boost.
How this one runs
- 01Pack start first — we are not going to jump from a stranger’s car
- 02If it will not hold a start, we say so and price a battery
- 03Night jobs for cars that have to move, not for ‘it was a bit slow this morning’
- 04We will not keep boosting a dying battery and sending you onto the M25
Questions on this job
Can I just get a boost and go?
If the battery takes a charge and the car stays running, yes. If it dies again in the first minutes, it needs a battery, not another pack. We will not wave you onto a dual carriageway on a prayer.
It is a start-stop car.
Tell us. Some of those batteries do not like a casual jump. We will still attend; we just need the car, not a surprise AGM when we arrive.
I am in an underground park.
Height, signal, and access. Send the entrance. If we cannot get the van next to the car we will say so rather than wander three levels with a pack and no signal.
