Dead battery at the office garage in Jersey City, a parking lot in Astoria, or outside your apartment in Park Slope? We'll come jump you fast — and run a quick battery test so you know whether it's a one-off or time for a new battery.
Modern cars are picky about jump starts. Touch the wrong terminals, get the polarity reversed, or apply too much current through a sensitive electrical system and you can fry control modules that cost thousands to replace. That's why we use commercial-grade portable jump packs with polarity protection and surge protection — not a sketchy pair of cables from somebody's trunk.
Our process: connect, test voltage, get your engine running, and then do a quick check on the charging system to see if the alternator is actually recharging the battery. If your battery is dead because you left the lights on, no big deal — you'll be fine once you drive a bit. If the battery is at the end of its life, we'll tell you straight so you don't get stranded again in two days.
For vehicles where a jump isn't enough — truly dead battery, bad cells, corroded terminals — we can help you sort a replacement without a dealer-priced tow.
Battery Jump Start across all six of our service zones. Tap your area for specific coverage details and local response info.
The classic dead-battery signs: dash lights dim or don't come on, a rapid clicking sound when you try to start, or complete silence. If the engine cranks but won't catch, that's usually not a battery issue — tell us what you're hearing when you call and we can often diagnose it over the phone.
If the battery is healthy and you just left a light on, driving for 20–30 minutes should recharge it. If the battery is failing, a jump can get you to your next stop but won't solve the underlying problem — and you'll likely be dead again soon. We'll tell you which situation you're in.
Most hybrids and EVs still have a conventional 12-volt auxiliary battery that handles things like the computers and the power-on sequence. We can jump those 12V batteries the same way as a regular car. For the high-voltage traction battery in an EV, that's a different situation that requires a tow.
Then you need a new battery. We can often get a replacement to you without going through a dealership, or advise the nearest trusted shop for proper installation on your specific vehicle.
With the right equipment, yes. We use polarity-protected commercial jump packs that are specifically designed not to damage sensitive electronics. The horror stories you've heard are almost always from old cable-to-cable jumps done wrong.
