Jump Start Service in South Lake Tahoe, Done Right
Cold weather drains batteries fast, and a car that sits for days in a parking lot often will not turn over. We bring a professional jump pack, connect it the safe way, and check that your car keeps running. If the battery or alternator is the real problem, we will tell you.
When to call us for jump start service
- The engine clicks or will not crank
- Dash lights are dim or flicker
- You left the lights or a charger on
- The car sat for days in a ski lot or vacation rental
- The battery is more than four or five years old
How it works
- Call (530) 725-5386 with your location and vehicle.
- We send a service truck with a jump pack.
- The driver jumps the car and checks that it keeps running.
- If it will not hold a charge, we can tow it to a shop.
Before you drive in winter, check road conditions and chain controls on Caltrans QuickMap.
Jump Start Service FAQs
Can a jump damage my car?
Not when it is done right. We use a jump pack with surge protection and connect in the correct order.

The battery may be dead or there may be another problem. We can tow your car to a shop.
