Things Drivers Should Know About Jump Start Services
Being prepared and informed can help our technicians provide faster service and protect your vehicle. Here’s what you should know:
Know Your Battery Location
While our professionals can locate your battery, it’s helpful if you know where it is ahead of time—especially if it’s located in the trunk. If your battery is in the trunk and you have personal items covering it, you may want to remove them before our technician arrives to save time.
Common battery locations:
- Under the hood: Most vehicles have batteries in the engine compartment—usually on the driver’s side, passenger side, or near the firewall
- In the trunk: Some luxury vehicles, performance cars, and German imports (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) have batteries in the trunk, often under the floor mat or behind a panel
- Under the rear seat: Some vehicles, particularly trucks and SUVs, mount batteries under the rear passenger seat
- In the wheel well: Less common, but some vehicles have batteries located behind a fender or in a wheel well
If you’re not sure where your battery is located, our technicians will find it. However, knowing ahead of time can help you prepare and speed up the service.
⚠️ Battery Safety Warning
Jump starting a vehicle can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Accidentally touching the wrong ends of jumper cables or metal objects to battery terminals can cause:
- Electrical sparks that can ignite battery gases
- Battery explosion causing serious injury
- Damage to your vehicle’s electrical system, computer, or alternator
- Reverse polarity damage that can cost thousands to repair
Important: If you cannot tell which battery terminal is positive (+) or negative (-), or if you’re unsure about the process, call a professional. Our trained technicians have the knowledge and equipment to safely jump start your vehicle without risking damage or injury.

Check Battery Terminal Connections
Before calling for a jump start, check to make sure there is no corrosion or loose battery terminal cables that could be preventing the battery from providing power to the starter. Sometimes, a simple cleaning or tightening of connections can resolve the issue.
Signs to look for:
- White or bluish-green corrosion buildup on battery terminals
- Loose or wiggling battery cable connections
- Cracked or damaged battery terminals
Extreme Arizona Summer Heat and Battery Health
Phoenix’s extreme summer heat can be particularly harsh on car batteries. High temperatures can cause batteries to swell, which is a sign of damage or failure.
Warning signs of a bad battery:
- Swollen or bulging battery case
- Egg-like or sulfur smell inside the vehicle cabin—this indicates battery acid leaking or overcharging
- Slow engine cranking or clicking sounds when starting
- Battery that dies repeatedly after being jump started
If you notice any of these signs, especially the egg-like scent, have your battery checked immediately. A failing battery in extreme heat can fail completely or even explode.
Important: Don’t Turn Off Your Vehicle After Jump Start
Once your vehicle has been jump started, do not turn it off until you make it to a repair facility. A vehicle could take a jump start and run for a little while, but then could die again immediately after if the alternator or battery is failing.
It’s always best after needing to jump start a car to take it directly to a local vehicle repair shop or vehicle parts store (like O’Reilly’s or AutoZone) where they can check and replace the battery. They can also check any diagnostic codes that may pop up as well.
Keep Battery Purchase Receipts
It’s always good practice to keep any receipts of battery purchases inside your vehicle. This allows you to easily check if your battery is still under warranty. Many batteries come with 2-5 year warranties, and having the receipt handy can save you money if the battery fails prematurely.

Jump Start Service FAQs
How much does a jump start cost?
We charge a flat rate of $75 for standard jump start services within our standard Phoenix metro service area. There are no hidden fees or membership requirements.
What if my car doesn’t start after a jump?
If the jump start is unsuccessful due to a mechanical issue (like a bad starter or alternator), we can convert the service call into a tow. You will only be charged for the tow, not the failed jump start.
Can you jump start a hybrid or electric car?
Yes. Most hybrids and EVs have a standard 12-volt accessory battery that can be jumped if it dies. Our technicians know the correct connection points to safely boost these vehicles without damaging high-voltage systems.
How long will it take to get here?
Our average arrival time is 15–30 minutes depending on traffic. We use GPS dispatch to send the nearest driver to you immediately.
Will a jump start fix my battery?
A jump start gets the car running, but it doesn’t fix a bad battery. You should drive the vehicle for at least 20-30 minutes to let the alternator recharge it. If it dies again, you likely need a new battery. We recommend taking your vehicle to a repair shop or parts store (like O’Reilly’s or AutoZone) after a jump start to have the battery tested.
What should I do after getting a jump start?
Do not turn your vehicle off until you reach a repair facility. Drive directly to a local repair shop or auto parts store (O’Reilly’s, AutoZone) to have your battery and alternator tested. They can check diagnostic codes and replace the battery if needed. If your vehicle dies again after the jump start, it could indicate a failing alternator or battery.
Where is my battery located?
Most vehicles have batteries under the hood, but some luxury vehicles, performance cars, and German imports have batteries in the trunk. Other locations include under the rear seat or in a wheel well. If you’re not sure, our technicians will locate it for you. However, knowing ahead of time—especially if it’s in the trunk—helps you prepare by removing personal items that might block access.
What if my jump start doesn’t work?
If we attempt a jump start and your vehicle still won’t start due to a mechanical issue (bad starter, alternator, or other problem), we will not charge you for the jump start attempt. We can convert the service call into a tow to a repair facility, and you will only be charged for the tow service. This is our Fair Price Guarantee.
Is it safe to jump start my car myself?
Jump starting can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Accidentally touching the wrong terminals can cause battery explosion, electrical damage, or injury. If you cannot identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals, or if you’re unsure about the process, call a professional. Our technicians use professional-grade NOCO GB250 jump boxes with smart protection technology to safely jump start your vehicle.
What equipment do you use for jump starts?
Our technicians use NOCO GB250 lithium-ion jump boxes with smart protection technology. These professional-grade devices prevent damage from shorts or reverse polarity and are powerful enough to jump start light-duty vehicles, medium-duty trucks, gas engines, and diesel motors safely.
Why did my battery die? Could it be the heat?
Phoenix’s extreme summer heat can be very hard on car batteries. High temperatures can cause batteries to swell, lose capacity, and fail prematurely. Signs of heat-related battery problems include a swollen battery case or an egg-like sulfur smell inside your vehicle. If you notice these signs, have your battery checked immediately. Keep your battery purchase receipts in your vehicle to check warranty coverage.
Should I check my battery terminals before calling?
Yes, it’s worth checking. Look for white or bluish-green corrosion buildup, loose or wiggling battery cable connections, or cracked terminals. Sometimes cleaning or tightening connections can resolve the issue. However, if you’re unsure or notice signs of damage, it’s safer to call a professional to avoid accidental short circuits or injury.
