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 repeatedly crank the engine when it won't start — you'll drain the battery completely and may damage the starter motor. Three attempts maximum, then call us.
