Dead car battery jump-started safely using proper procedure. Get your car running again without damaging sensitive electronics.
### Car Won't Start This Morning?
That horrible sound - **click click click** - or worse, complete silence when you turn the key.
Dead battery. Could be you left the lights on, or it's just old and given up, or the cold weather's killed it.
Either way, you need a jump start. You could: - Call breakdown cover (if you have it) and wait 2 hours - Ask a neighbour (if they're in, have leads, know what they're doing) - Call me and get sorted in 20 minutes
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Modern cars hate being jump-started wrong. Wrong polarity or sparks near the battery can fry the ECU (engine computer). That's a £500+ repair for a £60 mistake.

Advice on battery condition
What to Expect
### Step 1: Quick Diagnosis I check it's actually a flat battery causing the problem, not something else like the starter motor or alternator. No point jump starting if that's not the issue. ### Step 2: Safe Connection Connect jump leads in the proper order to avoid sparks or wrong polarity. Positive to positive, negative to ground point (not battery), all safe. ### Step 3: Start & Test Get your engine running, let it charge a bit, check alternator's actually charging the battery. Tell you honestly if the battery's likely to die again or if it's fine.

Good to Know
> 🔋 **Battery keeps dying?** If you've jump-started it twice in a week, your battery or alternator is knackered. Jump starting again won't fix it - you need the actual problem sorted. **Got breakdown cover?** Use them if you're not in a rush - they're free. Call me if you need it sorted now or your cover doesn't include home starts. **Old battery?** If it's 5+ years old and struggling, it's on borrowed time. I can replace it while I'm there if you want it sorted properly - saves another call-out.
Frequently Asked Questions about Car battery jump start in Exmouth
Why call someone for a jump start?
Honestly, if you've got jump leads and another car, you probably don't need me. But if you're stuck at home alone, don't have leads, or you're nervous about doing it wrong on a modern car with sensitive electronics, I can sort it safely. Plus I can tell you if your battery's actually dead or something else is wrong.
Can you jump start my car at my house?
Yes - I come to you with proper jump leads or a jump pack. As long as I can get to your car (not blocked in a garage), I can start it wherever it is in Exmouth and surroundings.
Will jump starting damage my car?
Not if done properly. Modern cars have sensitive electronics that can be damaged by wrong jump start procedure (wrong polarity, sparks near battery). I know the safe method - connect in right order, no damage to your car's systems.
What if the jump start doesn't work?
Then your problem's not just a flat battery. Could be the starter motor, alternator, or something else. I'll tell you what I think it is and whether it's worth calling a proper mechanic or if there's a simple fix.
Should I replace my battery after a jump start?
Depends - if it's just been drained by leaving lights on, probably fine once recharged. If it's old (5+ years) and struggling to hold charge, time for a new one. I'll give you my honest opinion on whether it needs replacing.
