Roadside Assistance / Jumpstart Services
We offer an extensive range of
roadside assistance services, catering to various needs that may arise while on the road. Our services encompass towing, fuel delivery, assistance with flat tires, electric vehicle charging, jumpstarts, lockout service, and more. While towing services and lockout requests are among the most frequently sought-after services, we specialize in several other areas as well. Allow us to provide you with additional information about our jumpstart services and our electric vehicle services.
If you ever require assistance to jumpstart your vehicle, just contact us, and we will be available to provide help. Alternatively, if you have access to another charged battery or car, you can jumpstart your vehicle yourself. To do so, you will need jumper cables and ensure that both cars are turned off and parked appropriately. The cars can be positioned near each other without touching. Begin by attaching the red cable to the positive terminal on the dead battery, and connect the other end of the red cable to the positive terminal of the charged battery.
Next, connect the black cable to the negative terminal of the charged battery, and attach the other end of the cable to a metal, unpainted part of the car with the dead battery. This metal surface can be any clean, solid area such as a bracket or bolt, away from the battery and fuel system. Start the car with the charged battery and let it run for a minute to charge the dead battery.
Once the vehicle with the dead battery starts, if you require any further assistance or if the jumpstart doesn't work, don't hesitate to contact KC Towing Lakewood, and we will take care of the situation. After successfully reviving the dead battery, remove the jumper cables in the opposite order of how you attached them. Finally, remember to drive the vehicle with the previously dead battery for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the battery to recharge fully. Failing to do so increases the likelihood of the battery dying again the next time you attempt to drive the vehicle.
It's essential to understand that if the battery fails to keep a charge or the jumpstart proves unsuccessful, there might be an underlying problem with the battery or the vehicle's electrical system. In such situations, it is recommended to contact our company or have the battery examined and probably replaced. Another option to be well-prepared for these circumstances is to acquire a jump box or a portable jump starter device as another option besides having to rely on another vehicle with a juiced battery.
With these portable devices, you can independently resolve emergency situations without requiring additional help to jumpstart your car. They are compact, user-friendly, and eliminate the need for a second vehicle. These are typically the tools utilized by KC Towing Lakewood for jumpstarting purposes. If you require recommendations on which portable device to acquire, feel free to inquire with us. Alternatively, if you need us to come and jumpstart your vehicle, please contact us immediately.
