What Is a Battery Boost?
A battery boost (also called a jump start) is the process of using an external power source to start a vehicle with a discharged or dead battery. Instead of relying on jumper cables from another car, our roadside professionals use industrial-grade power packs that deliver clean, controlled voltage. This ensures a safe start for both your battery and your vehicle’s electronics.
How the Process Works
- Call or request help online. Our dispatcher confirms your exact location in Minneapolis or along major routes such as Minneapolis I-94, I-35W, I-35E, MN-62, US-169.
- GPS dispatch. The nearest tow truck is sent directly to your location, minimizing wait time.
- Vehicle assessment. The operator checks battery terminals, corrosion, and voltage levels before connecting equipment.
- Safe power boost. A heavy-duty lithium or AGM jump starter is connected using spark-proof, reverse-polarity clamps.
- Voltage test & confirmation. Once the vehicle starts, we check the alternator to confirm your charging system is working properly.
- Next-step guidance. If the battery needs replacement or further service, we can tow you to your preferred mechanic.
