Try the boost first. That's the easiest fix. I'm in southwestern Ontario and my car wouldn't start this morning since it's -16 and -23 with the windchill. People are the only thing affected by the cold. In my case, my battery's four years old so it's getting towards the end of its life with this type of cold.

Ask them how much they would charge as it does not matter what we think is a tow charge. The operator can give you an idea.

Windchill does not impact vehicles as it is only used for people.Gregorich wrote: ↑ Try the boost first. That's the easiest fix.

If the boost doesn't work, getting towed to a dealer or your house is a personal decision. I'd get mine towed to my house or towed to the mechanic I trust. I've been going to my mechanic for years, so I often drop my car off and put my keys, a note with what's wrong and contact info. through their mailbox. Most places have a set up like this. Shops will also be open tomorrow if you want to get it towed home instead.

Sign that the battery is not providing enough cranking power, once it reaches -5C even some OEM battery will not start the car within 4-5 years.
