Mobile Jump Start in Van Nuys and the Valley: We Come to You

Dead battery in a driveway, a parking structure or on the street. We bring the truck, get the car started, and you hear the price before we roll.

What a jump start costs

One price, quoted on the call before we roll, and the same price when the car is running. We take credit and debit cards.

Every job is quoted up front. Call or text (213) 431-9420 with where the car is and what you drive. You get a real number in minutes, confirmed before we roll, and it is the same number at drop-off. How instant quotes work.

How it works

  1. You call or text. Tell us where the car is, the year, make and model, and what it is doing. If you are in a parking structure, tell us the level and the posted height at the entrance.
  2. We quote. One number, and an ETA for your address.
  3. We hook up. We connect to the battery or the car's jump points, and you start the car.
  4. You get going. Leave it running and drive it for a good while, not around the block. Driving is what charges the battery back up.

Is it the battery?

Most of the time a car that will not start is a battery problem, and these are the signs:

If the engine cranks hard and fast but never catches, that is usually not the battery. Tell us on the call and we say so honestly, before we drive over.

When a jump will not be enough

A jump gets the car running, but it does not fix a battery that is finished. If the car needed a jump and then dies again the next morning, the battery is done, or the car is not charging it. We can bring a new one: battery replacement, installed where the car is parked and quoted on the call.

If there is smoke, a burning smell, steam, fluid under the car or a stop-now warning light, do not jump it. Call for a flatbed tow instead.

Jump start questions

How much does a mobile jump start cost in Van Nuys?

We quote it up front: call or text (213) 431-9420 with where you are and what you drive, and you hear the number before we roll. It is the number you pay when the car is running.

How long until you get to me?

Our posted numbers are 15 to 20 minutes in the core Valley and under 30 minutes on average across the wider area, day or night. If the truck is on another job, you hear that, with a real ETA for your address.

Can you jump a hybrid or electric car?

A hybrid or electric car has a regular 12-volt battery that runs the computers, the locks and the start-up, and when it dies the car acts dead. Many of them can be jumped, but the place to connect is different on each model. Tell us the year, make and model on the call, and look in the owner's manual for the jump points if you can.

What if the car will not start after the jump?

Then something besides the battery is wrong, or the battery is too far gone to hold a charge. We can bring a new battery and install it where the car is parked, quoted on the call. If it is something else, the car needs a shop and we can tow it there.

Do I need to be with the car?

Yes. We need the keys and someone who can sit in the car and start it once it is hooked up.
