Jump Start Service in Buffalo, NY
A dead battery can leave you stranded at the worst possible moment — in a parking lot, outside your home, or on the shoulder of a busy highway. Moss Heavy Duty Towing provides fast, reliable jump start service across Erie County, helping drivers get back on the road along routes like I-90, I-190, Route 33, and throughout Buffalo and its surrounding suburbs. No matter where you are, our team is ready to get your vehicle started again.
What Our Jump Start Service Covers
A dead battery isn’t always obvious until you’re stuck. Our jump start service includes:
- On-site battery jump starts — using professional-grade equipment to safely restart your vehicle.
- Battery testing — checking whether the issue is a simple dead battery or something more serious.
- Safe roadside positioning — making sure your vehicle and our crew are positioned safely away from traffic while the work is done.
If your battery won’t hold a charge after a jump start, it likely needs to be replaced. In that case, we can discuss options, including towing your vehicle to a repair shop or auto parts store.
Vehicles We Service
We provide jump start service for passenger cars, SUVs, vans, pickup trucks, and light commercial vehicles. If you’re driving something larger — a box truck, bus, or commercial rig — our heavy duty team is equipped to handle battery issues on those vehicles as well.
Common Signs You Need a Jump Start
A dead battery can show up in a few different ways:
- Engine won’t turn over — you hear clicking or nothing at all when you turn the key.
- Dashboard lights are dim or flickering — a sign your battery is low on charge.
- Vehicle was left with lights or accessories on — a common cause of a drained battery overnight.
- Cold weather won’t-start issues — batteries lose power faster in low temperatures, common in Buffalo winters.
Why Call for a Jump Start Instead of Doing It Yourself
Jump-starting a vehicle isn’t always as simple as connecting cables. Incorrect connections can damage your vehicle’s electrical system, and jump-starting on a busy roadside or highway shoulder comes with real safety risks. Calling for help means a trained operator handles the process safely, and you’re not stuck waiting on a stranger with jumper cables or risking a mistake that costs more than the original problem.
How It Works
When you call, let us know your location and vehicle type. We’ll get a truck on the way and use professional jump start equipment to get your engine running. If the battery doesn’t hold a charge afterward, we’ll walk you through your options, including towing to a nearby shop.

FAQ
How do I know if my battery is actually dead?
