Battery Boost Calgary: Dead Battery in Winter? We Restart You Fast

The most prevalent vehicle emergency in Alberta is a dead battery in which the winter temperature can drop below minus 20 degrees Celsius. Cold conditions decrease the battery output by up to 60 percent. A battery that is charged during the summer can completely fail during a Calgary January.

We offer battery boost service in Calgary that employs commercial grade lithium jump packs and heavy-duty cable boosters that have a rating of all vehicle types such as compact sedans to diesel pickup trucks.. In Calgary, a car battery jump start usually takes a period of less than 15 minutes by the technician when he is on the ground.

A battery boost is used to make a connection between an exhausted vehicle battery and a fully charged power source to supply sufficient current to start the engine. When the engine is started, the alternator of the vehicle will start to recharge the battery. When the battery fails to retain a charge following the boost, then it needs to be replaced and this is a service that our technicians can examine and finish on the road.

Signs your vehicle needs a battery boost

  • Engine clicks over and over again without starting typical of inadequate battery current.t
  • There is a no-start condition that is preceded by dim dashboard lights.
  • Car not used in two or more weeks in cold weather.
  • Lights on the inside or on the headlights were left on at night.
  • Over three years old and Calgary winters have been harsh.

In case the boost does not start the car, or the engine shuts off once more in a short period of time, the battery probably requires replacement. Most popular vehicle makes and models have on-site battery replacement.

Car Lockout Service Calgary: Locked Out? Non-Destructive Entry Only

The Calgary vehicle lockout is more disruptive as compared to warmer cities. When it is at minus 30 degrees Celsius, it is not only inconvenient but also a safety issue to be outside waiting to be assisted. Our car lockout service in Calgary involves professional slim-jim, air wedge kits and long reach entry systems to unlock the vehicle without leaving any form of damage to the door frame, weather stripping, locking mechanism or window glass.

The most crucial thing that you can do in case you have locked your keys in your car in Calgary is to prevent the improvised entry attempts. Coat hangers, pry bars and screwdrivers destroy door panels, bend frames and break the seals that keep the water and winter drafts out. The service fee of repairing such a damage is recurrently over $300 to 600 much more than a professional lockout call.

A car lockout technician puts an air wedge on the top of the door, and inserts a long-reach tool and presses the interior door handle or unlock button, without ever touching the glass or breaking any seals. Most standard passenger vehicles require between 5 and 15 minutes to do the process.

What to do when locked out of your vehicle in Calgary

  • Get to a safe and secure place close to the vehicle particularly when in cold weather.
  • Request the services of a lockout service provider and provide him/her your precise location, car make, model and color.
  • Do not strive to gain access through some home-made tool.
  • Keep close to the car until the technician comes.

It supports all common makes and models, such as foreign and domestic cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, minivans and light commercial vehicles.
