Car won't start in a LaPlace parking lot or your driveway? Book a jump start in the Hopper app and follow the driver on the map.
Louisiana heat shortens battery life. If you needed a jump, have the battery tested before your next commute across the swamp on I-10 or I-55.
Long shifts at the plants along the river mean a lot of cars sit all day in big lots in the heat. If yours won't start after a shift, note the gate or lot in the app so the driver can get to you.
What to expect
A jump start is for a car that clicks, cranks slowly or shows dim dash lights. The driver connects to your battery and gets the engine running so you can drive to a shop or home. If the battery is old or the car dies again soon after, plan to have the battery and charging system tested. A jump gets you moving; it doesn't fix a failing battery.
A tip for LaPlace drivers
The elevated I-10 and I-55 crossings around LaPlace have little room to stop. If your car can keep moving safely, get to the next exit before you pull over.
