Need a jump or more?
 
My visitors just left to meet a realtor. They could not get my car to start and took the cart instead. Who should I call to get a jump?

I have AAA so I would call them. I would guess that any towing service could give you a jump. Try calling a few of them that are close by.

Sorry I can't be more specific.

Thanks Caveman, My sister, who is visiting, just called from the cart and said she had AAA. When they get back, we'll call them. Thanks again.

If the problem is the battery you could also buy a battery charger if you have a few hours to let it charge. I think auto stores also have a hot charge system that you would keep in your car and when you need a charge you hock it up. Might be cheaper than a service call and you will have it if you need it again.

Forgot, check with a neighbor and if they do not have battery cables go to the store and get a set. I keep a set in each of my cars. I don't think I ever used them for myself but I have used them a few times.
Be sure to read the instructions as one of the cables goes to the metal on the car for the ground and not the negative on the battery.
