Dead battery? Looking for a battery boost price in Laval for 2026? At Taxi Chomedey, our battery boost service costs $35 to $80, depending on vehicle, time, and location. Response in under 15 minutes, 24/7, throughout Laval and the North Shore. This article explains what affects the price and why our service is safer than traditional jumper cables.
Why a pro Boost Pack instead of cables?
Traditional jumper cables can cause irreversible damage to onboard computers and electronic components of modern vehicles (especially hybrids and EVs). A poorly regulated current spike can fry a $1500 module.
Connecting cables backward (+ on −) can destroy your alternator, engine computer, even trigger an airbag. Our intelligent Boost Packs prevent this risk with automatic current regulation.
Our Boost Packs are compatible with all vehicle types, including:
- Sedans and gas SUVs (majority of calls)
- Hybrid vehicles (Toyota Prius, RAV4 hybrid, Honda Insight, etc.) — specialized protocol
- 100% electric vehicles (Tesla, Chevrolet Bolt, Hyundai Ioniq, etc.) — to start the 12V auxiliary system, not the traction battery
- Light trucks and vans
- Heavy vehicles (diesel) — on request, possible surcharge
What affects the price ($35 to $80)
| Factor | Price impact |
|---|---|
| Vehicle type | Sedan ~$35–50, SUV ~$45–60, hybrid ~$50–65, EV ~$60–80 |
| Time | Day (5am–11pm) = standard, Night (11pm–5am) = +20% typical |
| Location | Laval/North Shore = standard, highway or remote = +$10–20 |
| Access difficulty | Accessible battery = standard, complex under-hood = +$10 |
| Heavy vehicle (diesel, RV) | Possible surcharge, quote on-site |
If multiple neighbors have dead batteries (often the case after a cold snap), call us — we can do multiple boosts back-to-back at the same unit price.
Tips for Quebec winter
Winter in Laval (December to March) is hard on batteries. A 4-year-old battery has a 50% chance of not starting at −20°C. A few tips to avoid needing a boost:
- Plug your vehicle into a Quebec electrical outlet (block heater) — protects engine and battery
- Run the engine 10 minutes per day if the vehicle is rarely used
- Replace your battery every 4–5 years (before it fails)
- Keep cables in the trunk — but only use them as last resort
- If you must boost yourself, double-check polarity before connecting
If after our boost your car won't start again after being shut off, the battery is probably dead (not just discharged). It will need replacement. We can drive you to the nearest garage.
When to call vs DIY
Call us if: you don't have cables, you have a hybrid/EV, you're on the road, or you don't know how to safely connect cables. DIY if: you're experienced, your cables are good quality, your vehicle is a simple gas sedan, and you're at home.
