Service Overview
Mobile Battery Jump Start Service
What This Service Is
Dual Action Roadside provides mobile battery jump starts for vehicles that won’t start due to a flat or discharged battery, a situation I regularly attend for motorists who are stuck at home, at work, or roadside.
Using professional jump-starting equipment, I safely boost the battery using professional Noco & Topdon boosters with internal surge protection to allow the engine to start and assess whether the battery is likely to recover or if further action may be needed. A jump start is often a practical short term solution and can help identify whether the underlying issue is battery related or something more serious.
How a Mobile Battery Jump Start Works
1. Initial battery and system assessment.
We check the battery condition and look for signs of electrical or charging faults.
2. Safe jump start procedure
Professional equipment is used to protect modern vehicle electronics.
3. Charging system check
Once running, the alternator and battery performance are observed.
4. Clear advice before you drive away
You’ll be advised whether the battery is likely to hold charge or needs replacing.
Common Causes of a Dead Car Battery
Some of the most common flat battery causes:
Short or infrequent journeys
Cold weather reducing battery capacity
Electrical systems left on
Parasitic battery drain
Ageing or worn batteries
Alternator or charging issues
If the battery continues to go flat, a jump start may only be a short-term solution.
