Jump start your vehicle |
Nowadays we are getting busier and busier, a simple problem like getting a flat battery on your car can really throw things out of whack. And of course, by Murphy’s law, it always tends to happen when you need to get to some urgent matters.
If this happens at home, it may not be such a big issue. A quick knock on the neighbour’s door might do the trick, surely they can spare five minutes to give your car a spark.
However, if you are not at home and get a flat battery, you will need some help to get your car started.
Luckily, our towing company also provides a jump start service, so you can get moving on your own again. It would probably be a good idea to take it to a mechanic later and get it checked.

How to avoid a flat battery?
We know how frustrating it is to get a flat battery and get your plans ruined.
Even though we are there to help out as soon as possible, you’d probably rather avoid this scenario in the first place.
Here are some tips for recognising if your car battery may have some problems.
It is also a good idea to learn to listen to your car’s engine. It can really talk to you if you listen.
How to listen to your engine?
Carefully lean over the engine compartment - be mindful of clothing and hair.
Listen carefully, even close your eyes to better focus on the sounds. Listen out for sounds that are not part of the usual hum of the engine, sounds like metal against metal, squeaks, clanging and clicking, clattering all indicate different problems.
For a weakened battery, you are looking out for a bit of a sluggish crank type of sound. Like the usual hum of your engine is a bit lagging.
