A car battery can die for many reasons, including cold weather, extended lack of use, or when you leave the headlights on overnight. Any such reason can drain the battery to the level where it won’t be possible for the battery to power the car ignition. A dead battery can get you stuck virtually anywhere, such as parking lot, car garage, driveway, or the worst of all, in a remote location. You’ll be thinking, who to call for a jump start service? Or who can jumpstart my car near me? You don’t need to worry. Get a swift and reliable free jump start service from Flag towing, a much better alternative for roadside assistance now available throughout the north Dallas area.

When I try to start my car, it’s just clicking but won’t start. Could it be my battery?
In case your car is clicking but won’t start, it seems like you have got a dead battery. You can charge your battery or check the battery terminals, as they could be loose.
How to know if your car’s battery is dead?
There are many indications of a dead battery like low battery fluid, swelled battery case, slow engine crank, battery leak, and likely old age of the battery.
If my battery terminals are corroded, what should I do?

After getting a jump start, let your car run for 10-15 minutes to let the battery charge from the engine.
How do I jumpstart my car if I have jumper cables?
Suppose you have access to jumper cables and another vehicle with a good battery. To jump-start your car, both cars should be in neutral and shut off the ignition in both cars. Please take one of the red clips and clip it to the positive terminal of both vehicles and the black clip to the negative terminal of both cars. Make sure to start the working vehicle and let the engine run for a few minutes before cranking the car with a dead battery.
I am trying to jump-start my car but cannot see the battery under my car hood. How can I jump-start in this case?
Attach the jump box or cable to the positive pole under the hood and undyed metal (ground). If this doesn’t work, some batteries are hidden in the trunk and would require professional assistance to jump-start the vehicle.
It’s not always easy or convenient to get help from other vehicles; not many people are willing to help. Should that situation arises, the starter stops responding, and you are stranded on the side of the road. Call your closest reliable towing service or roadside assistance company for help with an emergency jump start. In some cases, the battery may be completely drained and dead. If that’s the case, you will need to tow your car to the mechanic shop of your choice.
