It’s a situation almost every driver faces sooner or later. You go to start your car, and nothing happens. A dead car battery is one of the most common roadside problems, especially during colder months or after a vehicle has been sitting unused. If you need a battery jump start service, Pro-Tow by FleetEasy is there to help.
Storytime: Ford Focus Dies at Maple Valley Shopping Center
Recently, a customer called Pro-Tow for help when their Ford Focus wouldn’t start in the parking lot of Maple Valley Town Square, located on Black Diamond Road in Maple Valley. Our operator arrived quickly and attempted a jump start, which is often enough to get a dead battery working again. In this case, the battery jump start service wasn’t successful. Clearly, something else was wrong with the vehicle, and it needed to be brought in for repairs.
Because Pro-Tow offers complete roadside assistance in Washington, the driver wasn’t left stranded. Instead, our team provided a towing quote on the spot. The customer chose to have their car delivered safely to their home. Most people want to take their car to a shop for repairs. Pro-Tow can also tow directly to a trusted repair shop, such as Motorplex, our full-service auto repair partner.
Why Quick Roadside Assistance Matters
A dead battery is more than an inconvenience. It can be a safety risk, especially if your car stalls in a busy area or remote stretch of highway. That’s why Washington drivers need a reliable roadside assistance company they can call 24/7.

Even if it’s not a safety risk, a dead car battery can be stressful and annoying. If we can get to you quickly, we know we can help resolve the issue so you can start having a better day.
Dead Battery? How to Troubleshoot
When your car won’t start, a few things could be happening:
Weak or dead battery: The most common issue, often solved by a jump.
Alternator failure: If the alternator isn’t charging the battery, the vehicle won’t restart even after a jump. Or, it will start and quit again shortly after.
Electrical issues: Loose connections or wiring problems can mimic a dead battery.
Starter problems: If the car won’t turn over, but your electrical accessories light up when you turn the key, it could indicate a problem with your starter.
When Pro-Tow arrives, we can check your voltage and your entire charging system to help rule out any issues. If the battery jump start service doesn’t work, and we are unable to repair the vehicle to get it running on the spot, we’ll tow you to somewhere that can.
