Monday mornings are busy enough—your car should not add more stress. If your vehicle will not start before work, school, or a trip through Minneapolis–St. Paul, here is what to do. WHEN YOUR CAR WILL NOT START: If you hear clicking, dim lights, or the engine turns slowly, the battery may be weak. Turn off the lights and accessories, move to a safe position, and call MSP Towing & Recovery for a professional jump start. Do not keep trying if you smell fuel, see smoke, or notice damaged cables. WHEN A JUMP START IS NOT ENOUGH: A jump start may not solve the problem if the battery is completely failed, the alternator is not charging, the vehicle has mechanical damage, or the car will not stay running. In those situations, towing is safer than repeatedly trying to drive. MSP Towing & Recovery provides 24/7 towing and roadside assistance near MSP Airport, Downtown Minneapolis, North Loop, Uptown, Dinkytown and the University of Minnesota, Downtown St. Paul, Roseville, Richfield, Fridley, Robbinsdale, and surrounding Twin Cities communities. STAY SAFE WHILE WAITING: Turn on your hazard lights, stay away from traffic, and tell the dispatcher exactly where you are. Landmarks such as MSP Airport Terminal 1 or 2, Target Field, Target Center, Mall of America, Como Park, or a nearby parking ramp can help the driver find you faster.
