My car battery is dead and I'm sitting around waiting for the rip-off tow
service. What's the going rate for a jump start these days?

What a nice way to start the week. I think I may have left my satellite radio on all night. Think this is enough to drain the battery?

1. Does $55 sound reasonable for a jump? n/t

2. Sounds about right
Highway robbery, yes, but seems to be the going rate.

3. Sucks! I just hate spending money on something so simple, but
all my neighbors and nearby friends are at work.

4. Just a helpful pointer
A basic AAA membership costs around $50 and would cover such mishaps...

Meant in the spirit of helpfulness.

5. Thanks for the tip. The whole thing took less than 2 min.
Now, I'm off for my long ass commute.

Have a lovely day.
