Jump start in Evanston

A dead battery in Evanston gets the same $140 + tax jump start as anywhere in the Chicago area. Call, hear the price, and a provider in our network comes to you with a booster pack.

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 Evanston: about $300–$330 + 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 (60201).
  • In a parking garage, tell the operator the level and the nearest entrance.
  • If you feel unsafe or are in traffic, call 911 first.

Evanston jump start FAQ

How much is a jump start in Evanston?+

$140 + tax, the same as across the Chicago service area. The price is confirmed before dispatch, with no membership. Cancel free before dispatch; $50 after.

What if the jump does not work in Evanston?+

Then the next step is a tow. A tow from Evanston to a shop in central Chicago is usually 15–18 road miles, roughly $300–$330 + tax ($150 hook-up + $10/mile). A shop closer to you costs less.

Do you replace batteries?+

No. The driver jumps the car and checks the battery. If it will not hold a charge, you can be towed to a shop or buy a replacement from a shop or parts store.

Can you jump an EV or hybrid in Evanston?+

Yes, the 12-volt battery. If an EV's main battery is empty, that is mobile EV charging ($175 + tax), not a jump start.

Do you cover ZIP 60201?+

Yes. Jump starts cover Evanston mailing ZIP codes 60201, 60202, 60203, 60208.
