University City has a large student and hospital-staff population, which means a high volume of vehicles that sit parked for weeks between uses and a lot of unfamiliar drivers navigating one-way streets and garages. Dead batteries after a break and lockouts in garages are the two calls we take most often here.
Areas we cover in University City: Powelton Village, Spruce Hill (north), Drexel campus area, Penn campus area.
12V jump starts from $100; 24V jump starts from $150 for light-duty vehicles.
We arrive with professional-grade portable jump packs for both 12V and 24V starting systems, so there are no cables strung across traffic and no risk to your vehicle's electronics. 12V service starts at $100; 24V jump starts start at $150.
Flat tire assistance and spare tire installation, roadside.
We swap your flat for a properly inflated, road-legal spare and torque it to spec so you can get to a tire shop safely.
Non-damaging vehicle entry when you're locked out. Entry only — we are not a locksmith.
We use non-marring entry tools to safely open a locked passenger vehicle. Valid photo ID and proof of ownership or authorization are required on scene.
Emergency gasoline delivery, up to 10 gallons, when you run out on the road.
We bring gasoline directly to your vehicle in an approved container, up to 10 gallons. The service call and the fuel are billed separately.
Mobile battery replacement assistance for a battery that won't hold a charge.
If your battery won't hold a charge, we can install a replacement battery you already have, starting at $100.
We are a light-duty passenger vehicle specialist. We do not provide towing, winching, or heavy-duty recovery. We do not cut, duplicate, or program keys — we are not a locksmith. We do not service semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, buses, RVs, motorhomes, or motorcycles. If your vehicle is outside what we can safely service, we'll tell you on the call before dispatching.
