no problem - she has the booster.... but then i learn "i took it out becuz i had a brand new battery and it should be fine". ok... now i'm choked... and she knew it!
she opted to call a tow truck instead of having me leave work AGAIN. the tow truck driver gets to her, sees the wonky gauges, pulls out a battery booster and whammo - her car starts. that was $100. the battery booster sitting in our house... $105. yea - i'm sooo not impressed.
she went and got her new battery checked and sure enough - it's a dud... so now we're onto another battery... but the booster is finally back in her car!
Do you have AMA in your area? It’s a god send for me.
