VEHICLE BOOSTING
Get Back on the Road with a Battery Boost
You’re in a hurry or in an isolated location when the worst happens: your vehicle’s battery is dead and you need a battery boost. You don’t see anyone around who might have battery cables, and even if there were, who wants to approach a stranger for help? Don’t worry; Gravenhurst Towing & Recovery is ready to assist with 24/7 vehicle boosting in Gravenhurst and surrounding areas, including Bracebridge, Port Carling, Minett, Bala, Mactier, Kilworthy, Washago and Severn Bridge. Within minutes of your call we can dispatch an experienced technician to your location and get you back on your way.
Some of the signs that you may need a battery boost or a new battery include:
- A “clicking” noise or silence when you turn the ignition key
- Corroded battery terminals
- You notice the presence of oxidized sulphur on or near the battery
- You notice stains or signs of seepage on the top of the battery
When NOT to Boost a Battery
Sometimes a battery is simply too far gone for a boost to be effective. If you detect the odour of sulphur, or if your car battery appears to be swollen or the caps have popped off, do not attempt a battery boost. Give us a call and we will either tow you to the repair facility of your choice or provide a replacement battery.
