A dead battery can leave you stranded anywhere - in your apartment parking, office complex, shopping mall, or on busy Bangalore roads. MyMechanic's battery jump-start service brings professional help directly to your location, getting your car started quickly and safely.
Our technicians use proper jump-start procedures and equipment to protect your vehicle's electrical system while getting you back on the road. We also provide battery condition assessment and recommendations for replacement if needed.

Bangalore's driving conditions and weather can be tough on car batteries. Understanding common causes helps prevent future issues, but when your battery dies, MyMechanic is ready to help immediately.
- Long periods parked in apartment basements without driving
- Extreme heat draining battery charge faster
- Short city trips not allowing full battery recharge
- Leaving lights, AC, or accessories on when parked
- Old battery reaching end of lifespan (typically 3-4 years)
- Alternator or charging system issues
