A battery boost, right where you are
Dead battery in a driveway, a parking lot or an underground garage? Send one request and a certified operator near you comes to jump-start it, usually with no tow needed.
Unsafe, or anyone hurt? Call 911. On a 400-series highway or the QEW? Call 511.
When you need a boost
- A click, or nothing at all, when you turn the key
- Lights left on, or the car sat for a while
- The first hard frost of the year
- Dash lights flicker, then everything dies
From your request to back on the road
Send the request
In a garage, add the level and spot number.
An operator takes it
Their ETA and price come to you by text.
Jump-started
With a jump pack or cables, then checked.
If it won't hold
They can tow it instead, at a price they tell you first.
It helps the operator to know
- Exactly where the car is: garage level and spot number if underground
- Make and model
- Whether the hood opens normally (some electric cars and hybrids differ)
- Your keys
Before you call
Underground garage?
Low ceilings stop big tow trucks. Say it is underground so an operator with a service vehicle or a low-profile truck takes it.
Once it starts
Let it run or take a drive before switching off, and get the battery tested soon. A battery that dies twice usually needs replacing.
Hybrids and EVs
They still have a small 12-volt battery that can go flat. Say the make and model so the operator knows what to bring.
If it turns out to need a tow
The operator will tell you. A tow is between you and a certified tow operator, under their own consent form and published rates. How to get a tow.
Can you boost a hybrid or an electric car?
Many can be boosted through their 12-volt battery. Say the make and model and the operator will tell you before they come.
What if it still will not start?
The operator can tow it, at a price they tell you first. You never have to say yes.
