Dead Battery? We'll Get You Back on the Road.
A dead battery has a way of happening at the worst possible time. Maybe you're leaving work after a long day, heading out on an early morning commute, or preparing for a weekend trip when you turn the key and hear nothing. Instead of waiting for a friend or hoping another driver has jumper cables, call Riggs Towing & Recovery.
We provide fast, dependable jump start services throughout Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Fairfax, and surrounding Eastern Iowa communities. Our roadside assistance team is available 24 hours a day to help drivers get their vehicles started safely and back on the road with minimal disruption.
Whether your battery died overnight, was drained by cold weather, or simply reached the end of its lifespan, we'll respond quickly and determine the safest solution.
Reliable Roadside Assistance When Your Battery Fails
A dead battery doesn't always mean you need a tow truck. In many cases, a professional jump start is all that's needed to get your vehicle running again.
When you contact Riggs Towing & Recovery, we'll dispatch an experienced operator equipped with professional jump-start equipment. We'll assess your battery, safely perform the jump start, and verify your vehicle starts properly before you continue your trip.
If your vehicle won't restart or another mechanical issue is preventing it from running, we can also tow your vehicle to the repair shop or dealership of your choice.
Our goal is to solve your roadside problem safely, efficiently, and with as little inconvenience as possible.
