Battery Boost & Jump Starts in Calgary
A dead battery is one of the most common roadside calls, especially through a Calgary winter. We come to you and get your engine running again on the spot.
Cold weather is hard on batteries. One that's been fine all summer can fail the first cold snap of the season. If your engine cranks slowly or not at all, a boost usually solves it in a few minutes.
If the battery won't hold a charge after the boost, that's usually a sign it needs replacing rather than another jump. We'll tell you honestly what we're seeing.
The jump start itself is quick: we connect a portable booster pack directly to your battery, no need to find another running vehicle to jump from. Most calls are done in under ten minutes once we're on-site.
We run battery boost calls across Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, and Chestermere, year-round, with more calls in winter than any other season.
After a successful boost, try to keep the engine running for a while, ideally with a short drive, rather than shutting it straight back off. That gives the alternator a chance to put some charge back into the battery before it's asked to start the car again.

Battery boost questions.
A slow or clicking crank usually points to the battery. If the engine cranks fine but won't start, or the battery dies again shortly after a boost, that's more likely the alternator or starter, and we'll tell you honestly which it looks like.
No. We carry portable booster packs, so we can jump your vehicle without needing a second car around.
Often enough that it's our most common winter call. Cold weather reduces a battery's effective capacity, so one that was fine all summer can suddenly struggle the first hard freeze.
Most hybrids have a standard 12-volt battery that can be boosted the same way as any other vehicle. Fully electric vehicles are different, so let us know what you're driving so we bring the right approach.
