Common Questions
BATTERY FAQ
A jump start restarts your car but doesn't fix a failing battery. If your battery is old or damaged, it will likely go flat again. We'll test it and tell you honestly if replacement is needed.
Yes — when done correctly with the right equipment. Our technicians use professional lithium jump packs designed for modern vehicles with sensitive electronics, not household jump leads which can cause damage.
Mild hybrids (12V battery) can be jump started normally. Full EVs and plug-in hybrids cannot be jump started — if you're in an EV and stuck, call us and we'll advise the best option available.
Drive for at least 20–30 minutes at varying speeds to let the alternator recharge the battery. Avoid turning the engine off shortly after a jump start as the battery may not have recharged enough.
