Jump Start Sandy Utah

There are all kinds of reasons why you might need to jump start your vehicle.

• You Left Your Lights On. If you’ve gone out to your car on your drive and found that it won’t start, it could be because you left your lights on overnight. The lights on your vehicle rely on the power supplied by the battery which itself relies on electricity generated by the engine. When the battery runs down, it cannot provide sufficient energy to turn the starter motor to begin the internal combustion process. A jump start from a roadside assistant offers the power you need to start the engine so that you can then recharge your battery to normal levels.
• The Alternator Has Failed. Alternators are an essential component that helps the battery to charge. When they don’t work, your battery can run flat over time. Usually, problems with the alternator are easy to resolve (sometimes all that’s required is to tighten the connecting bolts), but sometimes you may need to replace the entire unit. A jump start can help get your engine running, allowing you to check your car in at the repair shop.
• Cold Weather Damaged Your Battery. Cold weather can negatively affect batteries, reducing their power output. In extreme circumstances, you may need a jump start to get you on your way.
• The Battery Is Old. Over time, car batteries can become degraded. It usually has nothing to do with manufacturing issues: it’s simply a byproduct of battery chemistry. After several hundred cycles of charge and discharge, batteries lose their ability to hold energy and, eventually, can no longer provide enough power to kick start the engine. When this happens, the vehicle fails to start, and you can be left stranded.
