NJ battery serviceWhat we do
The fastest way out of a dead battery, and the one most calls end with. We bring a professional jump pack to wherever the vehicle is parked, get it running, then test the battery and the charging system so you are not back in the same spot tomorrow.
When the battery is finished, replacing it should not mean a tow and a garage appointment. We carry replacements on the van, fit yours at the curb or in the garage, take the old one away, and you drive off on the same call.
If you have bought a battery yourself and would rather not fight a corroded clamp in a parking garage, we will install it for you. Same visit, same care, and we still test the charging system afterwards so you know the new battery is not about to be drained by an old alternator.
A battery that keeps going flat usually is not the whole story. Something is either draining it while the car sits or failing to recharge it while you drive. We find out which, so you stop paying for the same problem twice.
You do not have to diagnose it before you call. A dead battery is the most common reason a car will not start, but it is not the only one, and telling them apart at the roadside is part of what we do. We come out, work out what is actually wrong, and are straight with you about whether we can fix it.
A person answers. You say where you are and what the car is doing.
We tell you the cost before anyone is dispatched. No meter running.
The nearest van heads out with the tools and the right battery loaded.
Jump start or new battery, tested, and you are back on the road.
Pricing
That is the starting price for a jump start in our coverage area. A replacement battery is quoted separately, because it depends on the vehicle. The final number depends on the vehicle, the battery, and the access, and you hear it on the phone before we move.
Prices can change. The price you are quoted on the call is the price for that job.
Mainstream and OEM replacement lines, stocked on the van. What actually goes into your car is decided by the group size, terminal layout, and cranking rating the vehicle needs, not by what we would rather move.
What we work on
Newer cars need the replacement battery registered to the management system. We do it on site, so the car charges the new battery properly.
BMW · Mercedes-Benz · Audi · VW · Volvo · Land Rover
The small 12V battery still strands a hybrid or electric car when it dies. Most roadside outfits will not touch one. We will.
Toyota · Lexus · Honda · Tesla · Hyundai · Kia
Big engines and AGM start-stop batteries. The right cranking rating goes in, not whatever is on the shelf.
Ford · Chevy · Ram · Jeep · GMC · Nissan
Memory saver on every swap, so the radio presets and the clock survive the battery coming out.
Honda · Toyota · Nissan · Subaru · Mazda

One number covers the five boroughs and northern and central New Jersey. Every area page lists the ZIP codes we cover there.
If a jump start is all you need, that is what you get. Nobody is sold a battery to hit a number.
The van carries the batteries and the tools, so the fix happens on the first visit instead of the second.
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A dead battery does not wait for opening time, and neither do we.
More than 100,000 batteries fitted across two states, in driveways, garages, commuter lots, and on the shoulder at three in the morning. Long enough to know that the fastest way to lose a customer is to sell them something they did not need.

We do not take cards at the roadside. Worth knowing before we arrive.
Use this for a battery you already know is dying, a second vehicle, or a job you want booked for later today. If you are stranded right now, call. The phone is always faster.
By sending this you are asking us to call or text you about this job. See the privacy policy at the bottom of the page.
It depends on where you are, the traffic, and how many jobs are already running. Put your ZIP code into the live ETA box at the top of this page for an estimate right now. The dispatcher confirms the real time on the call, and we call you if it changes.
Cash or Zelle at the roadside once the work is done. We do not take cards.
We test the battery and the charging system before we sell you anything. If the fault is the alternator, the starter, or something else, we tell you that and point you at a workshop.
Yes, on the 12V battery, which is the one that leaves the car unable to start. The traction pack is a workshop job.
Written so you can work out what is wrong before you spend anything.
Most car batteries last three to five years, but where you park and how far you drive matter more than the number on the label. What shortens a battery, and how to tell yours is near the end.
A light left on is the obvious one, but most dead batteries are killed by something less visible: short trips, a parasitic drain, corroded terminals, or a charging system that has quietly stopped keeping up.
If a new battery goes flat within days, the battery was never the problem. What a failing alternator looks like from the driver seat, and how it differs from a battery at the end of its life.
One heavy click and silence is the classic. How to tell a starter fault from a flat battery before you spend money on the wrong one.
The battery symbol on your dashboard is a charging system warning, not a battery warning. What it means, how long you have, and where to stop.
Cold does not kill a healthy battery, it exposes a weak one. The chemistry behind the first hard freeze, and why a battery that was fine in November fails in January.
Tell us where you are. You hear the price before we drive, then the nearest van comes to you.
