ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE / JUMPSTART SERVICES
We can provide all types of roadside assistance services, which include towing, jumpstarts, flat tires, fuel delivery, electric vehicle charging, lockout service, and more. Towing services and lockout requests are probably the most common requests we get, but we do also specialize in a few more services than just those two. Some other ones we would like to provide you some more information about are our jumpstart services and our electric vehicle services.
Flatbed towing, which is also referred to as rollback or car carrier towing, involves transporting a vehicle using a specialized truck that is equipped with a hydraulic bed or flatbed capable of tilting or lowering to the ground. This type of truck is typically equipped with a winch or hydraulic system that facilitates the easy loading and unloading of vehicles. In the process of flatbed towing, the disabled or immobilized vehicle is either driven onto the flatbed truck or lifted onto the bed using a hydraulic system.
Even if you are in a tough or unique situation, we can still assist you. We do our best to provide detailed work while also ensuring a competitive price for all our customers. Towing Burbank CA is the one to call if you are stuck or in need of any assistance in or around the Burbank area. Just give us a call now and we can come help you out. Or if you are planning ahead and need to schedule a tow for another reason, you can fill out the form here and we will be in touch with you soon. Have you ever broken down somewhere remote or maybe late at night, and you have trouble finding a reliable towing service to come assist you? Maybe the first one you call does not answer, or the next one says you are too far away for them to come assist you.
That will never happen with us. We can provide you the exact area we serve, and we are also open 24/7, so we are here for you no matter what. It may not be something that is at the top of your mind or on your to-do list, but when accidents happen, it really is good to know that you have someone strong by your side. If you ever need a jumpstart, just give us a call and we will be there to assist you. Of course you could jumpstart your car yourself, if you have another car handy to use or a battery. You need jumper cables, and make sure both cars are parked and turned off. The cars can be brought close together as long as they are not touching.
Then attach the red cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery, and the other end of the red cable to the positive terminal of the charged battery. Then connect the black cable to the negative terminal on the charged battery, and the other end of the black cable to a metal, unpainted part of the car with the dead battery. This can be any clean, solid metal surface, such as a bracket or bolt, away from the battery and fuel system. Then start the car with the charged battery and let it run for a minute to charge the dead battery. Then you can start the vehicle with the dead battery. Obviously if you need any help with this or if that does not work, just call Towing Burbank CA so we can take it from there. Once the dead battery is revived, you can remove the jumper cables in the reverse order that you put them on in.
And then you can be on your way. Also remember to drive the vehicle that had the dead battery for at least 5-10 minutes, to allow the battery to charge. Or else you risk a likely chance of the vehicle’s battery dying again the next time you try to drive it. It's important to note that if the battery fails to hold a charge or the jumpstart does not work, there may be an underlying issue with the battery or the electrical system of the vehicle. In such cases, it's advisable to call us for assistance or just have the battery tested and potentially replaced.
You can also get even more prepared for these situations by acquiring a jump box or a portable jump starter device as an alternative to having another vehicle with a charged battery. This way you can help yourself out if these emergency issues arise, and you do not need to call someone to provide an additional vehicle to help jumpstart the car. These portable devices contain a battery that can supply the necessary power to jumpstart your car. They are compact, easy to use, and don't require a second vehicle. This is typically what Towing Burbank CA would use to give you a jumpstart. So if you need an opinion on which one to get, just ask us. Or if you need us to come jumpstart your car, give us a call now.
