Jump-Start vs Full Battery Replacement: When to Call a Tow Company
Nothing ruins your day faster than walking out to your car, turning the key, and hearing… nothing. A dead battery is one of the most common roadside issues drivers face — but the big question always follows:
Do you just need a quick jump-start, or is your battery completely done for?
That’s where a reliable local team like AQA Towing makes all the difference. Their professional roadside assistance and towing services help you figure out what your car really needs — without the stress or guesswork.

When a Jump-Start Is All You Need
Sometimes a dead battery isn’t the end of the world. In many cases, a simple jump-start is enough to get your vehicle running again. AQA Towing offers fast, reliable jump-start services that can get you moving without delay.
Signs You Only Need a Jump
A jump-start might solve the problem if:
You left your lights on
The battery drained overnight
The car struggles but still tries to start
Electrical power is low but not completely gone
AQA Towing’s team uses professional-grade equipment to safely perform a proper jump-start — preventing accidental damage that can happen with DIY attempts.

When a Battery Replacement Might Be the Only Solution
If your battery is fully dead, worn out, or internally damaged, a jump-start simply won’t bring it back to life. While AQA Towing does not perform on-site battery replacements, they can safely tow your vehicle to any repair facility or service center you choose.
Signs Your Battery May Need Full Replacement
Your battery might be beyond saving if:
The car shows zero electrical power
A jump-start doesn’t work at all
The battery won’t hold a charge
You hear repeated clicking with no engine response
In these cases, repeated attempts to jump the battery can do more harm than good. Instead, have AQA Towing transport your vehicle safely to a technician who can replace the battery properly.
