Common questions about battery boost in Metcalfe
Why does my car battery die in Metcalfe winters?
Cold temperatures slow the chemical reaction inside a battery's cells, cutting the starting power it can deliver. A battery's cold-cranking amps (CCA) — its rated starting power — are measured at -18°C, and at that temperature a typical battery delivers far less than it does when warm. Ottawa winters regularly drop to -20°C or colder, which makes battery failure one of the most common roadside incidents in the region from November through March.
Can I damage my car by boosting the battery incorrectly?
Yes. Connecting jumper cables in the wrong order — or to the wrong terminal — can damage your ECU, airbag modules, and other sensitive electronics, and modern vehicles are particularly sensitive to voltage spikes. The safe method is positive to positive, then negative to a bare metal engine ground (not the battery's negative terminal) on the vehicle being boosted. If in doubt, call Most Valuable Towing — our technicians follow manufacturer-approved boost procedures every time.
How long should I drive after a battery boost in Metcalfe?
At least 20 to 30 minutes of steady driving to let the alternator recharge the battery. If the battery is marginal, even that may not fully restore it, and the car may not restart in cold conditions. Most Valuable Towing runs a load test after the boost — so you know your battery's real condition before we leave, rather than finding out the next morning.

Customer Reviews
What Metcalfe customers say about Battery Boost
"Towing service and power boost were very helpful, took care of everything. Would recommend."
"My car lost battery power out of nowhere. Moe arrived within 5 minutes of me calling and gracious enough to give me a discount because he wasn’t far. He answered all my questions with a smile and was genuinely a kind person. Highly recommend !"
"Had issues with my car starting twice and he was very helpful both times. The first time I just had a dead battery and he had a jump kit which saved me a bit of money, the second time I definitely needed a tow. Will keep him in mind if I ever need a tow again!"
