Portable jump starters are your go-to compact lifesavers for those unexpected battery needs. They are small enough to fit in your glove compartment but pack enough power to jump-start your car multiple times if needed. These work much like traditional jumper cables, essentially serving as a replacement. With a portable jump starter, you won’t need another car to “jump” your vehicle; the battery within the portable jump starter will do that itself. You can find these jump starters online or at your local automotive store. Purchasing one is an easy way to get your vehicle started, whether you just began to encounter battery issues or you’re being proactive.

If you don’t own jumper cables or a portable jump starter, your best option will be calling a towing provider like AAA. When you call, the towing company will send a driver out to your location to assist. Here, you will get expert help. They will first try to jump-start your car, and if that does not work, will be able to tow your vehicle to a location that can help. With a towing provider, you will be in the hands of automotive experts and won’t have to worry about jumping your vehicle yourself. This is an excellent option if you are unfamiliar with the process.

Not always, but sometimes, the inability to start your car points to a need for a new battery. The only way to know for certain is to have your battery tested. Here at our service center, we can test your battery for you and determine whether the battery just needs a charge or needs to be replaced altogether.
