Service overview

Everything you need to know about our jump starts.

A modern jump start isn't cables and a running car anymore. Vehicles with start-stop, hybrid systems, and sensitive electronics can be damaged by voltage spikes from an improper jump.

Go Ape technicians carry regulated lithium jump packs designed specifically for late-model passenger vehicles — safe, fast, and always successful when the battery is the issue.

Every jump includes a quick battery and charging-system health check so you know whether it will happen again tomorrow.

FAQ

Jump Starts — questions we hear often.

How much does a jump start cost?

Our jump-start service is priced per call for non-members, and is included in the Go Ape annual membership. Ask dispatch for the current rate when you call.

Will a jump start damage my car?

Not when done properly. Our professional jump packs regulate voltage safely for modern vehicles, including hybrids and start-stop cars.

What if the jump doesn't work?

If the battery won't hold a charge, we can install a replacement battery on site during the same visit — no second dispatch.

Do you jump hybrids and EVs?

We jump the 12V accessory battery in hybrids and EVs, which is what usually causes a no-start. We do not service traction batteries.

Can I schedule a jump for the morning?

Yes — call ahead if you know your battery is weak and we can pre-schedule a specific arrival window.
