You turn the key and get a click, or nothing. Often the battery is simply drained, and a portable booster brings it back without a tow. Quick Tow ATL connects you with independent roadside operators who travel to Atlanta driveways, apartment lots and office decks with a jump pack. We own no trucks, and the line takes calls 24/7. If the boost fails, the same operator can move the car.
Heat speeds up the chemical wear inside a battery, and Atlanta asphalt can top 140 degrees in summer. A battery that handled January fine can quit in July. Drivers often assume cold is the culprit, but heat does more long-term harm.
Long enough to give the alternator time to recharge the battery, which usually means a steady drive rather than a short hop. If the car will not start again after you shut it off, the battery or the charging system needs a shop visit.
Many will boost the 12-volt battery, which is the small one that runs the electronics. Say what you drive on the call. For a drained high-voltage pack, a flatbed to a charger is the usual route.
You can, and many people do. Check that the donor car is the same voltage, connect the leads in the right order, and keep the leads away from moving parts. If that makes you uneasy, call the line.
The line connects drivers with independent operators in 25 cities and neighborhoods. Choose yours to see local roads, lots and impound details.
