My car won't start?

Battery Boost Service in Mississauga & Brampton

A dead battery is the most common reason a car will not start — especially on a cold Ontario morning. Request a battery boost in the RoadLift app and a driver comes to you with jumper cables or a portable booster pack to get your engine running again, in your driveway, at work or in a parking lot.

When to request battery boost

Clicking, but the engine will not turn over

Rapid clicking or a dim dashboard when you turn the key is the classic sign of a weak battery. A boost usually fixes it.

Lights or accessories left on

A dome light or headlights left on overnight will drain most batteries. After the boost, drive for at least 20 minutes to recharge.

A cold snap

Ontario winters are hard on batteries over three years old. A boost gets you going — then have the battery tested.

The boost does not work

If the car still will not start, the starter, alternator or fuel system may be the problem. Request a tow to a mechanic.
