Why Is My Car Battery Dead?
It is not uncommon to find your car battery dead. It’s happening all the time. You might be asking yourself, why is it happening to you? There can be several reasons for it. It could be because you unwillingly left your lights on for a long period of time, the fuses, battery corrosion, a faulty alternator, problems with the ignition switch or the starter connection, or just your vehicle starter doesn’t want to collaborate with you. Also, keep in mind that a battery over time will slowly lose the ability to hold a good state of charge.
How Does a Battery Jump Service Work?
A battery jump service safely restores power to your car when the battery is dead or too weak to start the engine. Our professional jump-start service uses specialized equipment to deliver the right amount of power without damaging your vehicle's electrical system.
While some people might try using jumper cables and another car, this carries the risk of damaging both vehicles if not done correctly. With our service, there's no need to rely on another vehicle—our technicians use professional-grade tools to safely jump-start your car.
No matter why your car isn’t starting, whether it’s a drained battery or another issue, we’ll get you back on the road quickly and safely.
There are several other ways to start your vehicle after your car battery went dead if you decide not to call a towing company.
Using Another Car and a Jump Start Cable
If you decide to do it yourself just because you think that a jumpstart service price won’t fit in your budget, please make sure that both cars are in manual for this process. See our useful info post about how a jumpstart service is done correctly.
No matter the reason for your car not starting, we are here to take care of this problem. We are here to jump-start your car without another car, because in some cases jumping your battery car with the help of a jumpstart cable and another car can damage both of the car batteries and it’s best done by a professional.
We offer fast, reliable, and affordable jump-start service so there is no need to call a friend or a neighbor to help out. Your safety is our priority. This is the reason why our trucks are equipped with the best tools needed to get any roadside assistance jumpstart service done.
The Bump Start Method
You probably heard about the bump start method or starting your car without cables, with the “let’s get some friends or strangers to push my truck” method. While this sounds easy, it’s not and it’s definitely not recommended for automatic cars.
It might work for manual cars if you know how to do it, but most of us in North Carolina have automatic cars, so the answer to your question: “Can I push-start an automatic car with a dead battery?” is definitely NO. At least not for any automatic cars made in the last 40 years because the automatic gearbox prevents the vehicle from rolling.
Carrying a Portable Power Pack
The third method is a free jump-start if you carry around a portable power pack in your truck. These devices carry enough charge to jumpstart your car with little or no effort, but you need to spend some money upfront and invest in one. Never take it out of your trunk except to charge it from time to time. Hopefully, you won’t forget this little detail.
Never feel helpless again. Queen City Towing has years of experience helping stranded motorists. We excel at being there when you need us, and we have been helping stranded drivers since 2017.

What to Do After a Jump Start
After you battery jump your car with cables you may be wondering, “how long does a battery last after a jump start?” After you give your car a jump, you need to let your vehicle run for a few minutes to help the newly started battery charge and then drive around for at least 30 minutes before stopping your vehicle again. Otherwise, you might need another jumpstart. You should get your car battery checked by a professional after a jumpstart.
There is nothing worse than being stranded when you have somewhere important to be. Never miss a meeting or rendezvous again. Queen City Towing is ready to get you back on the road!
