Jump start in Tacoma
A dead battery in Tacoma gets the same $140 + tax jump start as anywhere in the Seattle 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 Tacoma: about $440–$500 + tax to central Seattle.
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 (98402).
- In a parking garage, tell the operator the level and the nearest entrance.
- If you feel unsafe or are in traffic, call 911 first.

Tacoma jump start FAQ
How much is a jump start in Tacoma?+
$140 + tax, the same as across the Seattle 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 Tacoma?+
Then the next step is a tow. A tow from Tacoma to a shop in central Seattle is usually 29–35 road miles, roughly $440–$500 + 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 Tacoma?+
Yes, the 12-volt battery. If an EV's main battery is empty, that is mobile EV charging ($175 + tax), not a jump start.
