Jump start in Alamo
A dead battery in Alamo gets the same $140 + tax jump start as anywhere in the McAllen 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 Alamo: about $230–$250 + tax to central McAllen.
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 (78516).
- In a parking garage, tell the operator the level and the nearest entrance.
- If you feel unsafe or are in traffic, call 911 first.

$140 + tax, the same as across the McAllen 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 Alamo?+
