Jump Start Services in Pittsburgh PA

We provide jump start services in Pittsburgh, PA. If your vehicle has a dead battery, chances are you need a jump start (also called a "boost") to give your engine enough power to crank the engine. This is done by connecting jumper cables to the battery to recharge it either with another vehicle's battery or a standalone battery. Once the battery has been re-charged, the jumper cables can be removed and running the vehicle will recharge the battery in most cases. Safety precautions should always be followed when using jumper cables.

T
here are a number of causes for a dead car battery. One of the most common is forgetting to turn off the headlights when shutting off the vehicle. 

Jumper cables are a pair of wires with insulation on them that have automotive clips on either side marked red for positive and black for negative. You will see on the car battery two terminals: one positive "+" and one negative "-" (see illustration above). Both vehicles should be shut off and placed in park when connecting jumper cables. If either vehicle happens to have an electric ignition mechanism, jumping the vehicle may damage it so always reference the owner's manual for further instructions before jump starting a vehicle yourself.

Our roadside technicians can safely jump start your battery to get you on your way.
