No one plans on having their battery up and quit on them. This is why jumper cables seem to be a rare commodity when you do have issues. Your battery was probably working fine- until it wasn’t. The hot NV summers can cause battery fluid evaporation which leads to a dead battery by the time winter arrives. Colder weather can slow down the chemical reaction required to start your car and prevent your battery from working up the required juice. This is why a lot of older batteries just plain work better in warmer weather and also why we find ourselves with a lot of dead batteries when the weather gets cold!

But don’t worry; Cedar Rapids Towing & Roadside Assistance has got you covered. Our tow truck drivers will quickly and correctly connect the jumper cables to your vehicle to get you on the road. Maybe you are even well prepared with your own jumper cables but your vehicle is parked so tight you can’t connect the two batteries. We still got you covered! We can send the nearest tow truck equipped with a jump box which will allow us to jump start your battery from any angle.

When you are not sure of dead battery help, then call us to inspect the situation. If you find that the automatic lights, alarms and other features that normally function without the engine running are not working then we are almost certainly dealing with a dead battery.
