Battery died at work and I’m tired of bothering people, is a paid jumpstart wort

My car wouldn’t start when I left work today and I ended up sitting in the parking lot for almost an hour waiting for my dad to show up with cables. He was nice about it but I felt bad pulling him away from dinner and he had to drive across town. It got me thinking about what I’d do if he wasn’t around next time, like if I was out somewhere far from home or it was late at night. A coworker mentioned she once used one of those car jumpstart pros services and said it was quick and easy, which sounds appealing honestly because I’m not great with car stuff and I’d rather not risk messing something up. But I’m wondering how much these things usually cost and if they charge extra for evenings or weekends because that’s probably when I’d need them most. Also do they test your battery after or just get you running and leave? My battery is probably on its last legs so I’d like to know if they can tell me whether I need a new one soon. I don’t want to pay for a jumpstart and then have the same thing happen two days later. If you’ve used a service like this before I’d love to hear how it went and whether you’d do it again. I’m just trying to figure out if it’s worth having that number saved in my phone for emergencies. Thanks.
