Jump Start in Lamar, TX.

Jump Start for Lamar drivers, done by licensed Coastal Bend operators.

Quick Tow Corpus Christi matches dead-battery calls across the Coastal Bend to operators who can jump you, because the majority of them never need a tow at all.

Why is jump start different in the Coastal & Outer Corridor?

Jump starts out here lean on the NAS Kingsville and Texas A&M-Kingsville lots and the lower-income older-vehicle towns on US-77. Long distances mean both cables and a high-amp pack ride along so one failure doesn't strand you twice. Calls are taken in Spanish.

What is jump start like in Lamar, TX?

Park Road 13 is a dead-end peninsula road, a breakdown anywhere between the causeway and the Big Tree has one way out.

The Lamar Peninsula juts northeast into Copano and Saint Charles bays from its connection to SH-35. FM 1781 crosses the Copano Bay causeway to reach the peninsula, and Park Road 13 runs northeast from that junction to the entrance of Goose Island State Park, about two miles in. There is no through-route. One way in, the same way out. A camper or boat trailer that breaks down on Park Road 13 is stranded on a two-lane park road with no alternate exit, the tow truck has to come from Rockport, back it out, and haul it the full 12 miles south to any service. Goose Island State Park has 101 campsites, 44 bayside with water and electric, 57 under live oaks with water and electric, and 25 walk-in tent sites. The park draws RVers year-round, peaking in spring during bird migration and fall during Whooping Crane season. Large Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels navigate Park Road 13 to reach bay-side sites. A motorhome slide that seizes, a blown tire, or a diesel that won't restart after a cold night creates a recovery problem on a narrow park road with no shoulder to speak of. The Big Tree is a Coastal Live Oak the Texas Forest Service designated as the State Champion in 1966. Its circumference is 35 feet, its crown spreads 90 feet, and it's thought to be over 1,000 years old. It survived Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Carla, and every storm before them. It is the most visited single natural landmark on the Lamar Peninsula, and the combination of the Big Tree, the state park boat ramp, and Aransas Bay access draws anglers, birders, and kayakers from across Texas who are unfamiliar with the peninsula's dead-end geography.
