Jump start in Salem
If your car only clicks in Salem (Essex 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 Salem: about $310–$350 + tax to central Boston.
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 (01970).
- In a parking garage, tell the operator the level and the nearest entrance.
- If you feel unsafe or are in traffic, call 911 first.
