Battery jump and replacement in Pinetop-Lakeside
A battery that was fine in September is not fine at 7,000 feet in January. We jump it, test it, and tell you straight whether it is coming back.
$35 plus $1/mile after 10 miles · Prices are the floor. We set a fair number with you.
Cold-soak is the White Mountain battery killer. A car that sits outside overnight at 10°F loses close to half its cranking amps by morning, and a battery past its third winter will not have the margin. We bring a proper jump pack, not a pair of cables and hope, and a tester that reads state of health, not just voltage.
If the battery tests bad we can usually fit a new one on the spot from the truck for common group sizes, at cost plus the hourly rate for the swap. If it tests good you pay the jump and go. We will also look at the alternator belt and terminals while the hood is up, because a jump that works twice is not a repair.
Trailheads, forest-road pullouts, and cabin driveways are all fine. If you are somewhere a two-wheel-drive truck cannot reach, say so when you call and we will figure out the walk-in.
When you call, have this
- The cross street or the cabin name
- Year, make, and model
- Whether it clicks, cranks slow, or does nothing
