Jump Starts in Knoxville

Jump Start

Packs on the trucks cover passenger cars and diesel pickups. A booster that wakes a sedan can sit down on a work truck. Say which you have, especially on Oak Ridge Highway and Western Avenue, where the diesels are.

The usual scenes are garage rows at UT, hotel lots near the Alcoa Highway airport exits, and cars that sat for days in an apartment line off Kingston Pike or Clinton Highway.

When the engine fires and then quits as soon as the cables come off, dispatch will say so before the job changes from a jump to a tow. The shop is one you name.

Open the hood if you can do it without standing in a lane. A corroded terminal, or a battery buried under a cover, is worth mentioning. It saves time once the truck is there.

The same work runs in the towns on this dispatch: Farragut Powell Halls Karns Oak Ridge Maryville Alcoa Lenoir City.
