The car that sat all week on a street with no driveways

Much of Stapleton and Clifton is older housing without off-street parking, which produces a specific pattern: the car is not a daily driver. It moves for alternate-side, it moves on the weekend, and otherwise it sits at the curb for six or seven days at a stretch.

A modern car sitting still is not doing nothing. The alarm, the key-fob receiver, the telematics module and anything plugged into a socket keep drawing the whole time. Add a battery over three years old and a cold week, and the car that started fine last Sunday will not start this one.

What makes it awkward here is where those cars sit. The blocks off Van Duzer and Targee are narrow, often one-way, and frequently on a grade — near Tappen Park, along the Bay Street corridor, and up toward Grymes Hill. A second vehicle usually cannot get alongside you. Our packs mean it does not need to.

What we can tell you about a battery that keeps doing this

If your car lives at the curb and dies more than once a season, a jump start is treating a symptom. Three things cause that pattern, and the test we run tells them apart.

The battery is simply worn out and no longer holds a charge through a week of standing. Or the charging system is not fully replacing what short trips take out. Or something is drawing more current than it should while the car is asleep — a badly fitted accessory being the usual culprit.

You get told which one the numbers point to. We do not sell batteries and we do not tow, so that answer is not the opening move in a sale.

Getting in and out of the narrow blocks

Bay Street is the spine and we use it for anything close to the water, including the newer waterfront buildings and the Stapleton and Clifton railway stations. Above that, Van Duzer Street and Vanderbilt Avenue are the practical ways in.

Grymes Hill is its own case. The approaches are steep and several roads only make sense in one direction, so the fastest way up depends on exactly where you are. Give us the cross street and we will pick it — guessing costs more time here than anywhere.

Jump start questions from Stapleton & Clifton

The street is too narrow for another car to pull alongside. Is that a problem?

No, and it is why we work off packs rather than a donor vehicle. Most of the blocks off Van Duzer and Targee are one lane in practice once both kerbs are parked. We only need to get a person to your battery, not a second bumper to your bumper, so a tight one-way is a completely normal call here.

My car sits at the curb all week. Is that why it keeps dying?

Very likely. A parked modern car keeps drawing for the alarm, the key-fob receiver and the telematics, and nothing replaces it while the engine is off. Add a battery over three years old and a cold spell and a week of standing is enough. The test tells you whether the battery is worn out or something is drawing more than it should.

Can you get to a car parked on the hill in Grymes Hill?

Yes. The approaches are steep and several roads only work in one direction, so the fastest way up depends on exactly where you are. Give us the cross street and we will pick the route. One thing we will not do is roll a car on that kind of grade to get at it, because that is never safe.

Do you cover the streets around Tappen Park and the Bay Street corridor?

Yes, along with Tompkinsville Park, Vanderbilt Avenue and the newer waterfront buildings on Bay Street. All of it is the same $125 and the same hours as anywhere else on the Island. Street parking around the park fills up, so the cross street and the side you are on matter more to us than the house number.

Not sure the battery is the problem? Telling the battery, the alternator and the starter apart goes through the sounds and the voltage numbers.
