FAQ
Battery Boost questions
Answers about requesting battery boost online, local coverage, vehicle requirements and pricing.
What happens if a boost doesn't start my car?
The problem may be something other than the battery. You can request a tow to a repair shop of your choice.
Can you boost my car at home or in a parking lot?
Yes, include the exact address or parking spot and any access details, such as underground levels or gate codes.
Does a boost fix a damaged battery?
No. A boost only gets the vehicle started. A battery that keeps dying should be tested or replaced by a repair shop.
