Tow Recovery — 24/7 Towing & Vehicle Recovery

Jump Start

A dead battery on the school run or after work. We jump it, test it and tell you the truth.

A flat battery is the most common reason a car will not start, and the cheapest to fix if you catch it early. We arrive with a professional booster pack, jump the vehicle and then test the battery and alternator so you are not left guessing whether it will start again in the morning.

More than a pair of jump leads

Consumer jump leads can damage modern ECUs. We use a current-limited booster designed for start-stop and hybrid 12-volt systems, then confirm the charging voltage before we leave.

When a jump is not enough

If the battery will not hold a charge, or the starter is clearly failing, we tell you on the spot. You can then choose a recovery to a garage rather than being stranded again two streets later.

Start-stop, hybrid and EV 12-volt batteries

The 12-volt battery in a hybrid or EV still goes flat, and it still leaves you locked out of the car. We treat those systems as a specialist job, not a pair of crocodile clips on the terminals.

FAQs

Questions about Jump Start

Still unsure? Describe the fault on the phone. We would rather send the right truck than the nearest one.

How long does a jump start take?
Most jobs are finished in under twenty minutes once we arrive, including the charging-system test. You stay with the vehicle and we talk you through the reading.
Will you replace the battery at the roadside?
If we carry a matching battery and you want it fitted now, yes. Otherwise we jump the car and recover it to a garage of your choice. We never fit a battery you have not agreed to.
Can you jump start a van or motorbike?
Vans, yes. Motorbikes need a different clamp position and a lower current, which we also carry. Tell us the vehicle type when you book so the right pack comes out.
