Jump Start Richmond upon Thames

“I take the District line to work, so the car sits in the permit bay most weeks. First proper drive of the month and nothing, not even a click. The engineer was there inside half an hour with a booster pack, no need to bother a neighbour for jump leads. He tested it and said the battery was fine, it had just sat too long.”

“Our hybrid was completely dead on the hill: no lights, no locks, the fob did nothing at all. I was convinced the main battery had gone and was already dreading the dealer bill. He explained it was the little 12V one, had it awake in minutes and charged the same £49 as any other car. Enormous relief.”

“Came back from a walk in the park at about four in the afternoon and the car would not turn over, with the gates due to close. I said on the booking that I was inside the park and they clearly took that seriously. Engineer arrived with plenty of light left and we drove out well before the gate.”

“High spring tide coming in and everyone along the riverside shifting their cars, except mine would not start. Not the moment you want a flat battery. Booked it, engineer came straight down, started it where it stood and gave me the cranking amps reading, which told me the battery has one winter left in it at best.”
