Real-World Scenario
Engine cranks slowly then stops? A sluggish crank that dies is often a partially discharged battery struggling against engine compression. In cold weather, engine oil thickens and makes it harder to turn. Our professional equipment can boost through even the most stubborn cold starts.
What NOT to Do
Don't pour boiling water on a frozen windscreen — the thermal shock will crack the glass. Use a proper de-icer or call us if the vehicle won't start in freezing conditions.
