What Our Jump Start Service Includes

Our local jump start service drivers provide much more than a simple pair of jump leads. When you book through TowMyCar, your driver arrives with professional-grade equipment and a structured process to get your car started safely:

What's Included

  • ✓ Professional jump pack — no second car needed
  • ✓ Battery voltage and health check
  • ✓ Alternator charge check
  • ✓ Advice on whether battery needs replacement
  • ✓ Safe for all 12V vehicles including modern ECU cars

When Jump Start Isn't Enough

  • → Battery is old and failing — needs replacing
  • → Alternator fault — car won't hold charge
  • → Electrical drain fault — needs diagnosis
  • →If so, see our breakdown assistance service

Important: Electric vehicles and 12V hybrids should NOT be jump started using standard methods. Our drivers are trained to handle EV battery situations correctly and safely.

Common Causes of a Flat Battery

Understanding why your battery has gone flat helps you prevent it happening again. Our local flat battery recovery drivers can diagnose the most likely cause when they arrive. The most common reasons for a flat battery include:

Lights Left On

Interior lights, headlights, or boot lights left on overnight will drain even a healthy battery completely.

Old Battery

Car batteries typically last 3–5 years. An aged battery holds less charge and is more vulnerable to cold weather.

Faulty Alternator

The alternator recharges your battery while driving. If it's failing, the battery will deplete even when the engine is running.

Infrequent Use

Cars that sit unused for weeks, particularly in winter, will naturally lose battery charge through passive drain.

Cold Weather

Cold temperatures significantly reduce battery efficiency. A battery at 50% health in summer may fail completely at 0°C.

Parasitic Drain

Electrical faults or aftermarket accessories can drain your battery even with the ignition off. Requires diagnosis.
