Where we help in Boston
12V failures are common after a car has sat for days: airport parking at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), residential streets in Allston, Back Bay and Bay Village and office garages around Financial District and Government Center.
Our technicians know where manufacturers hide 12V terminals (often under the frunk, behind a panel or in the trunk), and use proper jump packs instead of another running vehicle.
When to call in Boston
- Screen stays black and doors will not unlock
- The car will not shift into drive
- A “12V battery low” or “service 12V” warning appears
- The car sat unused for a long time

Driving conditions in Boston
Boston winters cut EV range noticeably. Cold batteries hold less usable energy, cabin heating draws extra power and DC charging slows until the pack warms up. If your range estimate drops faster than expected on a cold morning, call before you hit 0%; it is quicker to top up than to recover a fully drained car.
How it works
- Book or call. Tell us your EV and location; online booking is available.
- Safe boost. The technician connects to the manufacturer’s 12V jump points.
- Check and advise. We confirm the car powers on and tell you if the 12V battery likely needs replacing.

Tell dispatch

- Year, make and model of your EV
- Battery % and any warning on the dashboard
- Garage level and height clearance, if inside
Stay safe while you wait
