Explain the no-start
Tell the operator whether lights turn on, the engine clicks, cranks slowly, or stopped while driving. Mention hybrid or electric models, as their procedures may differ from a conventional car.
Check access to the vehicle
Provide the parking level, posted clearance, gate instructions, and whether the hood can open. Do not attempt a jump near a visibly damaged, leaking, or frozen battery.
Plan if it will not start
Ask what the roadside charge covers and whether a separate tow can be arranged if the jump fails. Confirm the receiving destination and tow quote before dispatch.
Know the parking level
