What to do

  • Dim lights, weak dash power, clicking, or slow cranking can be associated with a weak 12-volt battery.
  • A jump may not help if the starter, alternator, fuel system, battery, wiring, or another component has failed.
  • Avoid repeatedly cranking the vehicle if it will not start.
  • A roadside jump start is an attempt to get the vehicle started, not a full diagnosis.
  • Call Bristol Roadside for direct jump-start assistance and an upfront quote.
