He was a great guy, he came and towed our son's car. He was very fast, efficient, and very affordable. I will definitely use his service again. He also came on a Sunday night (Fathers Day). Couldn't be happier that I called him. Thank you again 💓

About Jump-Starts & Battery Service

Common questions and tips from our work with Leaf River customers.

Is it my battery or my alternator?
If the car starts on a jump and then dies again shortly after, the charging system is the likely culprit. If it starts and keeps running normally, the battery probably just lost charge. Jeff tests both at the scene so you know which repair you are actually facing before deciding whether to drive it or tow it.
Can you replace my battery on the spot?
On-site battery replacement is available in the Leaf River service area. Jeff will test the existing battery first, because a battery that failed once after leaving a dome light on may be perfectly fine after a proper charge. If it does need replacing, ask about availability for your specific vehicle when you call.
Why do batteries die so often in Ogle County winters?
Cold thickens engine oil and cuts the chemical output of a battery at the same time, so a battery that starts fine in October can fail on the first subzero morning. Short trips around Leaf River and Mount Morris make it worse, because the alternator never gets enough run time to fully recharge.

Tip

Skip the roadside jump from a stranger

Modern vehicles carry sensitive electronics, and reversed or sloppy cable connections can cost you a control module. If you are not certain about polarity or where the manufacturer's designated jump points are on your engine, wait for a truck with proper equipment. A twenty minute wait beats a repair bill.
