Real-World Scenario
After a jump start, the engine died again immediately? This usually means the alternator isn't charging — the jump got the engine running, but it can't sustain itself. We test your charging system on the spot and can often diagnose whether it's the alternator, a wiring fault, or just a failed battery.
What NOT to Do
Never jump-start a vehicle using household mains electricity via an improvised setup — it's potentially lethal. Our professional jump packs are safe and effective.
Why Home Start Is Needed in Roche

Visitors heading for Roche Rock often underestimate the local driving conditions. Roche Rock's ruined chapel perches dramatically on a granite outcrop — the surrounding clay roads are equally dramatic when wet, turning to a slippery white paste. It all adds up to consistent demand for reliable home start.
