Why Choose Tow Mesa
for Jump Start Service?
Professional
Equipment for Modern Vehicles
Today’s vehicles are packed with sensitive electronics and computer
systems that can be damaged by improper jump-starting techniques. Our
technicians use professional-grade battery boosters and jump packs
designed for safe use on modern vehicles. This equipment includes surge
protection and proper voltage regulation to protect your car’s
electrical system.
Asking a stranger with a pair of old jumper cables to jump your car
might seem convenient, but connecting cables incorrectly or using a
vehicle with voltage spikes can fry expensive electronic components. Our
professional approach eliminates this risk while ensuring a successful
start.
Expert Diagnosis Beyond the
Jump
A dead battery is often a symptom, not the root cause. When our
technician arrives, they don’t just jump your battery and drive
away—they take a moment to assess why your battery died in the first
place.
Was it user error (lights left on)? Normal battery aging? A failing
alternator not keeping the battery charged? A parasitic drain from a
malfunctioning accessory? Understanding the cause helps you avoid being
stranded again.
If our technician suspects an issue beyond a simple dead battery,
they’ll let you know what to watch for and can recommend next steps. If
you need further diagnosis or repairs, we can tow you to Thompson’s Auto
Repair or the shop of your choice.
Fast Response in Mesa’s
Extreme Heat
Mesa’s summer temperatures are brutal on car batteries. Extreme heat
accelerates battery degradation, and a battery that was fine in the
morning might fail by afternoon when the pavement temperature hits
150°F. That’s why dead battery calls spike during Mesa’s summer months,
and why our rapid response matters.
We understand that being stranded in Arizona heat isn’t just
inconvenient—it can be dangerous. Our dispatchers prioritize jump start
calls based on conditions, and our technicians arrive prepared to work
efficiently in the heat to get you on your way quickly.
24/7 Availability You Can Count
On
Batteries don’t check the clock before they die. Whether you discover
your dead battery at 7 AM before work, 10 PM after dinner, or 3 AM
arriving home from a late shift, Tow Mesa is available to help. Our jump
start service operates around the clock, every day of the year, because
we know roadside emergencies don’t take holidays.
Honest Assessment and Fair
Pricing
Some services will jump your clearly failing battery knowing you’ll
be calling again in a few hours. That’s not how we operate. If your
battery is truly at the end of its life and will just die again, we’ll
tell you honestly and discuss options—including getting you to a parts
store or shop for a replacement.
Our jump start pricing is straightforward and competitive, and we
provide your quote before dispatching. You’ll know exactly what to
expect, with no hidden fees.

Step 4: Safe Jump Start Using proper techniques and
equipment, your technician will jump-start your vehicle while protecting
sensitive electronics. They’ll ensure your engine is running smoothly
before proceeding.
Step 5: Quick Diagnosis Once running, your
technician will briefly assess battery condition and alternator function
to identify any underlying issues. They’ll advise you on next steps if
needed.
Step 6: On Your Way With your car running and any

at least 15-20 minutes to help recharge your battery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a jump start take? Once our technician
arrives, most jump starts are completed within 10-15 minutes, including
time for a brief battery assessment.
Will a jump start fix my battery permanently? A jump
start restores charge to your battery so you can start the car, but if
your battery is old, damaged, or failing, it may not hold a charge
long-term. Our technician will advise if your battery appears to need
replacement.
Can you jump-start all types of vehicles? We can
jump-start most passenger vehicles including cars, SUVs, and trucks.
Some vehicles have batteries in unusual locations (trunk, under seats),
but our technicians are trained to handle various configurations.
Is jump-starting safe for my car’s electronics? Yes,
when done properly with professional equipment. We use surge-protected
equipment designed for modern vehicles with sensitive electronics. This
is safer than DIY jumps with potentially faulty cables or improper
technique.
What if the jump doesn’t work? If your car won’t
start even with a jump, the problem may be more serious than a dead
battery—possibly a failed starter, alternator, or other issue. Our
technician will assess the situation and we can provide a tow to a
repair facility if needed.
Should I get my battery tested after a jump? Yes, we
recommend having your battery tested, especially if it died without an
obvious cause (like leaving lights on). Most auto parts stores will test
batteries for free, or Thompson’s Auto Repair can do a complete charging
system test.
How long should I drive after a jump start? Drive
for at least 15-20 minutes to help your alternator recharge the battery.
Highway driving at steady speeds is more effective than stop-and-go city
driving.
Why do batteries die more often in Arizona? Extreme
heat accelerates battery degradation. While cold weather gets blamed for
dead batteries (cold reduces cranking power), heat actually does more
long-term damage. Mesa’s summer temperatures can shorten battery life
significantly compared to moderate climates.
Can I get a jump start if I’m on the freeway? Yes,
we provide jump start service on US-60, Loop 202, and other highways in
our service area. Pull safely off the roadway onto the shoulder if
possible, turn on your hazard lights, and we’ll come to you.
What should I do while waiting for jump start
service? Stay in a safe location near your vehicle. If you’re
in a parking lot, remain visible near your car. On a highway, stay
behind the guardrail if possible. Keep your phone charged in case we
need to call you.
Signs Your Battery Is
Failing
Watch for these warning signs that your battery may be nearing the
end of its life:
- Slow cranking: Engine turns over slowly when
starting - Clicking sound: Click but no engine turnover when
you turn the key - Dim lights: Headlights or interior lights dimmer
than usual - Warning light: Battery or charging system light
illuminated - Age: Most batteries last 3-5 years; shorter in
Arizona’s heat - Corrosion: White or blue buildup on battery
terminals - Swelling: Battery case appears bloated or
swollen
If you notice these signs, consider having your battery tested before
you end up stranded.
