Jump start in Calumet City

If your car only clicks in Calumet City (Cook County), call (954) 539-7718. The jump start is $140 + tax, confirmed before anyone is dispatched.

Arrival is typically 30–45 minutes. The driver jumps the car, does a quick battery check and tells you whether the battery looks like it will hold a charge.

What the $140 + tax covers

  • Jump start with a booster pack (gas, diesel, hybrid and EV 12-volt)
  • Quick battery check and advice
  • No membership; price confirmed before dispatch

Not included: battery replacement. If the battery will not hold a charge, the driver can tell you, and you can be towed or buy a replacement from a shop.

When a jump start is not the answer

  • An EV whose main battery is empty needs mobile EV charging ($175 + tax).
  • A car that will not hold a charge, or has stalled in water, needs a tow from Calumet City: about $360–$400 + tax to central Chicago.

Before the driver arrives

  • Turn on your hazard lights and switch off lights, radio and chargers.
  • Have your exact spot ready: a street address, cross street or your ZIP (60409).
  • In a parking garage, tell the operator the level and the nearest entrance.
  • If you feel unsafe or are in traffic, call 911 first.
