Where we get called most in Huntsville
Work parking lots are the big one. A car that sat through a ten hour shift at Cummings Research Park or on Redstone Arsenal is a car that finds out its battery is done. We can meet you in the lot. For the Arsenal, we meet you outside the gate unless you can arrange access.
Parking decks downtown and at the hospitals are next. A tow truck cannot always get into a deck, but we carry a jump pack and a battery by hand, so clearance is never a problem.
Then shopping centers: Bridge Street, Parkway Place, MidCity and the lots up and down University Drive. You come out with a full cart and the car will not turn over. That is a 15 minute fix.
Flat tires on the Parkway and I-565
Memorial Parkway and I-565 carry most of the city's traffic, and both collect debris. If you pick up a flat on either one, the safest move is to ease off at the next exit or into the nearest lot if the tire will hold that far.
If you are stuck on the shoulder, turn on your hazards, stay clear of the traffic side of the car and call. Tell us which direction you are heading and the last exit you passed.
Why batteries die here
Heat does the damage. A north Alabama summer bakes a battery from the inside, and the weakness shows up months later on the first cold morning in the fall. That is why so many Huntsville cars fail to start in the same week every year.
If your battery is past four years old and the engine has started turning over slowly, a $59 visit with a test will tell you where you stand before it strands you.
Nights and Sundays
Cars do not check the clock before they quit. We run 24 hours a day, every day, including Sundays. After 11pm and on Sundays there is a $25 surcharge, and you hear the full price before we roll.
