Dead battery? This is a mobile roadside service: we drive to the car — your driveway, a parking garage, an office lot or a highway shoulder — boost it with a professional jump pack, and stay long enough to see whether it holds. No second car, no cables, no flagging down strangers at eleven at night.
Signs it really is the battery
- Rapid clicking when you turn the key, and nothing else happens.
- Dashboard lights come on but the engine will not crank.
- Completely dead — no lights, no sound, no dome light.
- The engine turns over slowly, like it is tired, and never catches.
- You left the headlights, the dome light or a door ajar overnight.
- The battery is over three years old and has been slow to start for a while.
How it goes
- 1Call and tell us where the car is, what it is, and exactly what happens when you turn the key.
- 2We come out to you with the jump pack. No need for you to find cables or a second car.
- 3The driver connects, you crank it, and in most cases it fires within seconds.
- 4We let it idle and watch whether the alternator is actually charging. This is the part people skip, and it is why a car jumped by a passer-by dies again two blocks later.
- 5If it holds, you drive away. If it does not, the truck is already there and we can tow it.
What it costs
A jump start starts at $65. That covers coming out to you and the boost.
You get the figure before the driver sets off, and it does not change on arrival.
If the battery will not hold and the car has to be towed instead, a local tow starts at $95 — and we tell you the price before loading.
No night, weekend or holiday surcharge. We will not give you an arrival time over the internet that we might not keep — call and we will tell you where the truck actually is.

Jump Start — common questions
Where do you come out to?
Anywhere the car is — driveways, parking garages, office and store lots, and highway shoulders across Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Temple Terrace, Lutz, Oldsmar, St. Petersburg and Clearwater.
What if the engine cranks fast but still will not start?
Then it is probably not the battery — fuel, spark or the starter are more likely. Describe what you hear when you call. If a boost is not going to fix it, we would rather say so on the phone than charge you to find out.
Will a jump start damage my car?
Done properly, no. We use a jump pack rather than another vehicle, which keeps the voltage controlled and avoids the surges that come from a bad cable connection.
Do you sell and fit batteries?
No. We get you started so you can drive to a shop, or we tow you to one. We do not carry batteries to sell.
It started, then died again the next morning. What now?
That usually means the battery is no longer holding charge, or the alternator is not replacing it. At that point another jump just buys you one more day — the car needs a shop, and we can take it there.
