How long does a jump start take?

Most jump starts take about 10 to 15 minutes from the time our driver arrives. We connect the cables, let your battery charge up, and confirm the car starts and is running properly before we leave. If the battery is completely dead and does not hold a charge, we will let you know so you can decide your next step.

What if my car does not start after the jump?

If your vehicle will not start after a jump or dies again right away, the battery is likely too old to hold a charge. In that case, we can handle a battery replacement on the spot or tow your vehicle to a nearby shop. We carry common battery sizes for many popular vehicle makes and models.

Is it safe to jump start a newer car?

Yes, when done correctly it is safe. Modern vehicles have sensitive electronics, which is why it matters who does the jump. Our technicians follow the proper sequence every time and use equipment that protects your car from power surges. We do not rush the process.

We Come to You and Get You Back on the Road

A dead battery is one of the most common reasons people get stranded. It can happen anywhere: a parking lot, your own driveway, or the side of a busy road. You turn the key and nothing happens. That is a frustrating feeling, especially if you are in a hurry or it is late at night.

Bay Shore Tow Service offers fast jump start service throughout Bay Shore, NY and the surrounding Long Island communities. You do not need to wait for a friend with jumper cables or call a tow truck to haul your car away. In most cases, a jump start gets you running again within minutes.

We send a trained technician to your location with the right equipment. We assess the battery, perform the jump correctly and safely, and make sure your vehicle is holding a charge before we leave you. If there is a bigger issue going on, we tell you straight up.

Why Do Car Batteries Die?

Understanding why it happened helps you avoid the same situation again. Here are the most common reasons batteries go dead:

Lights left on overnight or for several hours
Extreme cold or heat wearing down battery capacity
Battery that is over 3 to 5 years old and losing its ability to hold a charge
Alternator not charging the battery properly while you drive
Corroded or loose battery terminals reducing the connection
Short trips that never let the alternator fully recharge the battery
Parasitic drain from electronics drawing power while the car is off

If your battery keeps dying, a one-time jump start may not be enough. Our technician can check the battery health on the spot and let you know if a replacement makes more sense. We also offer battery replacement in Bay Shore, NY if we find the battery is no longer holding a charge.
