It Pays to Know How to Jump Start Vehicles

Here at McLaren Scottsdale, we work hard to help our customers and other drivers stay safe and sound as they travel. One important skill that it is key for drivers to have is the ability to jump-start their vehicles if and when necessary. By following several simple steps, drivers can safely and effectively refill depleted batteries.

To begin with, the vehicle that will be providing the electrical current should be parked nose to nose with the broken-down vehicle. Doing so allows the cables to easily reach from one battery to the other. Brakes and transmissions should be secured. Next, the individual in question should begin by locating the positive and negative terminals on both batteries. Positive terminals are usually marked with a “+”, and they often also have red coloring on their terminals.

Once drivers have identified the proper terminals, they should begin by connecting the red clip on the jumper cables to the positive terminal of the dead battery. The other red terminal should connect to the positive terminal on the repair vehicle. Following this, drivers should connect the negative terminal on the repair vehicle to the black or negative jumper cable clip. Finally, drivers should connect the remaining negative cable to the frame or other out-of-the-way metal component on the broken-down vehicle. During this step, drivers should be careful to avoid placing the cables in the way of any moving objects.

To complete the process, the driver of the repair vehicle should start the engine and allow it to run for some minutes. This action will allow the repair vehicle to send electricity to the depleted battery. After a few minutes of this, the depleted battery should be full enough to allow it to start the distressed vehicle.

Bought a 720S from them. Was an easy and great experience. The owner CJ is the MAN on the track and he is a real car guy.

Just picked up my McLaren 720s for it's annual service and must say the service department is always on point. The Service Manager, Ralph, and Lead Tech, Nick, who did the actual service, walked me through the annual service and invoice. The attention to detail at this dealership has been amazing! This is my second McLaren I have purchased from the dealership. Jared and Eilon in sales/Management have always gone out of their way to make sure I knew of every option for the car and even some special MSO options to tailor each car to my wants and needs. They offer to pick up/drop off my car, etc. An overall excellent experience!

Best service I have ever experienced! Izzy at Scottsdale Mclaren is an absolute genius when it comes to knowledge about Mclaren’s. He went way above and beyond by replacing a missing blade in one of my keys and changing the batteries in each key fob. The down pipes and tune are out of this world! My 2020 720s is truly one of the best super cars! Paul, one of their high end transporters took incredible care of my car and of my wife and I. Paul reached out and helped us get several of our cars up and running. He has become a family friend. I cannot say enough great things about Scottsdale Mclaren! Definitely shop there.

Service center is great. Ralph is extremely knowledgeable and takes care of their customers at the McLaren HQ level. Always a worry with exotic car dealers / service centers but not McLaren Scottsdale.

My husband and I had just gotten our McLaren and only been for 1 short ride when a packrat had made a home in it and caused a lot of damage.Izzy and the crew at McLaren Scottsdale were absolutely great!They went above and beyond to get our car repaired and returned to us quickly. They updated me every step of the way and there were no surprises! Really a pleasure working with them.

Awesome Visit. Eilon was great, knowledgeable and not pushy. My daughter and I stopped in yesterday to look at a couple cars. Friendly greeting when we walked in and good visit all around. Easy relaxed feel where we got to see what we wanted to, got the information we needed and weren't pushed. The cars they had in the Showroom were incredible. my daughter really liked looking at them all and the different colors. While neither car we went to see is the right one for our current needs, we'll definitely check back in the future.

The McLaren Scottsdale experience starts with an amazing lineup of cars. McLaren’s racing DNA shows through each one with awesome power, stunning color pallets, and captivating aerodynamic design. These cars need to be driven. They demand it. Whether tracked on occasion or driven daily they deliver a palpable/visceral driving experience. I have been extremely pleased with all aspects of this dealership. Eilon and Jared are great ambassadors of the brand and helped me in the purchase my first then second McLaren. In the shop Ralph, Izzy, and Jaden have been extremely accommodating in keeping first my GT then my 720s spider in top condition. I have been treated very well by this dealership starting at the top with Mike Ward and also his Scottsdale GM Brett Bissey!
