When we help
We jump-start your car at any address in town, wherever it is parked: in the block's yard, on the street or in a car park.
-
A battery flat overnight
After a frosty night, after headlights or the interior light were left on, or after a few days without driving.
-
The car in the block's car park
The driver parks next to your car and connects the cables. If your car is squeezed between others, say so, so they can find a space alongside.
-
At work or at the shops
Anywhere in town, not only at home: at work, at the shops, at the market or in the car park of a block you were visiting.
-
What we do not do
We do not tow or sell batteries; an old battery needs a garage.
What it costs
All faresA call-out in town has one price, which covers the driver's trip to your car and starting the engine.

The final fare is what the meter shows: the start fee, the kilometres and the waiting. Intercity rides are counted by the road distance. Fares valid from November 2026.
How we start the car
The driver parks next to your car, connects the cables from their battery to yours and tells you when to start the engine. Before starting, switch off the headlights, the heater and the radio, so all the power goes to the starter. Once the car is running, do not switch it off straight away: half an hour's drive charges the battery better than leaving the engine idling. For a hybrid or electric car, say so when you book, and the dispatcher tells you whether it can be started with cables.
If the car will not start even with cables, the problem is usually elsewhere: the starter, the glow plugs or diesel thickened by the frost, and then it needs a garage. A battery that goes flat after every frosty night is usually at the end of its life, so have it checked before you are stuck again. A lorry or a bus, with a 24 V system, cannot be started from an ordinary car. A taxi Chisinau takes you to the garage.
How it works
Starting usually takes a few minutes once the driver arrives.
-
Send the request
The address where the car is, its make and what happens: nothing at all when you turn the key, or the engine turns over slowly.
-
The dispatcher calls
Tells you when the driver arrives and asks you to have the key with you to open the bonnet.
-
The driver connects the cables
From their car's battery to yours, in the right order: the red cable to plus first, then the black one.
-
Start the engine
When the driver says so, start the car and drive off, so the battery charges.
Questions
Do you come early in the morning?
Yes, bookings are taken day and night. On frosty mornings there are many requests, so the dispatcher tells you when the driver arrives. If you leave for work at a fixed time, send the request as early as you can.
Do you also warm up the engine?
No, we only give power from another car. If the engine is frozen, the diesel has thickened or the car will not start even with cables, it needs a garage.
Where do you come?
In town, to any address in Chișinău: home, work or a shop car park. In an underground car park give the level and the entrance, so the driver can get their car next to yours.
