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.

  • Dim Headlights 
This is a clear indicator that your car battery is compromised and may not have a lot of life left. Most likely you will notice this issue while driving at night. If it’s at that point already, it usually means that your battery is experiencing a massive lack of power and you should act on this immediately.  
​
  • The Engine
The most obvious hint from your engine is when it is struggling to start, this is most likely connected to battery issues.
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. 

  • Turning on the car
The other sounds you need to watch out for are clicking sounds that can appear when you turn your key. These can actually indicate that your battery issue is already quite bad and it may already be too late.
