NYC overnight lows in the teens between January and March kill any battery that's already weak. Cold thickens the electrolyte, the alternator hasn't had time to top it back up since last night's drive, and the starter draws more amps than usual to crank a cold engine.
If your battery is more than 3 years old and you've had even one slow-crank morning this winter, replace it before it strands you. Standard group sizes run $150–$250; we stock the most common ones on every truck and can swap on the curb.
If you're stranded, we run battery service at the same $249 / hour rate (1-hour minimum, $224 first hour when you book online). Driver brings a real load tester — not a $20 voltmeter — and tells you whether you need a jump or a replacement before doing anything.
