Flat battery help
Car won't start? A jump start may get you moving again.
A flat battery can leave you stuck at home, outside work, in a car park or at the roadside. FTS provides mobile jump start assistance across Dublin, so help comes to the vehicle.
Call with your location and vehicle details. If the problem is a discharged battery and a jump start gets the vehicle running, you may be able to continue your journey without needing recovery.
If the vehicle still will not start, FTS can discuss battery replacement, roadside assistance or recovery depending on the situation.
Call for jump start assistance →When you may need a jump start
Flat battery at home, work or roadside?
Batteries can lose charge for several reasons. You do not need to know exactly why it happened before calling FTS. Tell us what the vehicle is doing and where you are.
Car Won't Start at Work
If you return to your vehicle and it will not start, mobile jump start assistance can come to your workplace.
Stuck in a Car Park
Tell us where the vehicle is parked and mention barriers, underground parking or height restrictions that could affect access.
Vehicle Left Unused
A vehicle that has been sitting unused can lose battery charge. A jump start may help get it running again.
Lights Left On
Lights or other electrical equipment left on while the engine is off can discharge a battery and leave the vehicle unable to start.
Van Won't Start
FTS also provides jump start assistance for vans. Give us the vehicle details and your location when you call.
Calling for assistance
Tell us where you are and what the vehicle is doing.
You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. A car that will not start can have a flat battery, but there can also be other causes.
Give FTS the basic vehicle information and describe what happens when you try to start it.
Useful information when you call
- Your exact location
- Vehicle make and model
- Vehicle registration
- Whether the engine turns over
- Whether you hear clicking when trying to start
- Whether the dashboard lights come on
- Any recent battery or starting problems
- Any access restrictions around the vehicle
Which battery service?
Jump start or replacement battery?
A flat battery does not automatically mean you need to buy a new one. The immediate problem may simply be that the battery has lost enough charge that it can no longer start the engine.
Jump Start Assistance
If the battery has lost its charge, a jump start may provide enough power to start the vehicle and get you moving again.
This page is for drivers who need immediate help getting a car or van started.
Call for a jump start →Battery Replacement
If the battery itself is failing or no longer holding charge properly, replacing the battery may be the better solution.
FTS also provides mobile battery replacement in Dublin for cars and vans.
Car Battery Replacement Dublin →Still won't start?
A flat battery is only one possible reason.
If a jump start does not get the vehicle running, that does not automatically mean another jump attempt is the answer.
The battery may need replacing, or the starting problem may have another cause. FTS can discuss the situation with you and the appropriate next step.
If the vehicle cannot continue its journey, FTS also provides roadside assistance, breakdown recovery and towing across Dublin.
You are not left with only one option
If the vehicle cannot be started, FTS can discuss mobile battery replacement or, where necessary, recovery to an agreed destination.
