Why jump start pricing costs what it does in Medford
A dead battery around the campus density around Harvard, MIT and Tufts and the low bridges on Memorial and Storrow drives is quoted before the truck rolls, and some operators test the battery on scene so you know whether it was a flat charge or an alternator underneath it. Boston's hard freeze-thaw winters are rough on batteries, which is why this is a steady call here.
Medford runs on the I-93 and Route 16 interchange with Tufts on its southern edge and the Mystic River through the middle. Highway breakdowns and commuter volume drive most of the work, and a tow here goes to Medford's own lot at the state-capped rate.
How we work Medford
Medford runs on two engines. Tufts University's main campus straddles the Medford and Somerville line, so student move-in, event parking and the September rush all land here. And the interchange of I-93 and Route 16 along the Mystic River puts highway breakdown and crash recovery in the mix. As a separate city, Medford's tows follow the state DPU maximum rates rather than the Boston lot's fees, a base tow up to $132 and storage up to $35 a day. Away from the campus and the highway it is ordinary residential work, lockouts and dead batteries on quiet streets. The operator we send covers the I-93 corridor, the campus and the neighborhood, and points you to the right municipal process for the car.
