Vehicle recovery in Corby, run by people who live here

Rapid Recovery is a vehicle recovery company in Corby, run by George Mitchell. We have been recovering cars, vans, 4x4s and motorbikes around Corby, Kettering and the villages in between for over five years. If your car has broken down, been in an accident or simply won't start, we are the local number to ring.

We run a fleet of five-plus recovery vehicles from Corby, so there is nearly always a truck free. Most call-outs in Corby are reached in 30 to 45 minutes. For the towns and villages around us, we give you a realistic arrival time when you call, and we stick to it.

24/7 breakdown recovery in Corby and beyond

Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. A breakdown at 3am on the A6116 gets the same attention as one at lunchtime in the town centre.

We also recover vehicles anywhere in the UK. If you break down on holiday or need a car brought home from the other end of the country, call us for a price.

Our services

We offer four services. Each has its own page with the details, and its own cost guide.

• Breakdown recovery: roadside breakdowns, accident recovery, non-runners from driveways, off-road and ditch recovery with a winch, low car parks and garage-to-garage moves. Cars, vans up to 3.5 tonnes, 4x4s, motorbikes, campervans and classic cars.
• Car transport: open transport for auction collections, dealer deliveries, private sale pick-ups, MOT runs, house moves, classics and non-runners, anywhere in the UK.
• Jump starts and batteries: jump starts, new batteries supplied and fitted on the spot, and flat tyre changes onto your spare or space saver.
• Scrap car collection: we buy scrap and unwanted cars, vans and motorbikes, with free collection and payment by bank transfer.

Why drivers choose Rapid Recovery

People who call us once tend to save the number. The reasons are simple:

• We answer the phone. Day or night, you speak to a person, not a call queue.
• We arrive quickly. Our trucks are based in Corby, so local call-outs are usually reached in 30 to 45 minutes.
• Prices are fair and agreed first. You get a price on the phone before anyone sets off.
• We are careful with your car. Wheels are strapped rather than chained through alloys, low cars go on a beavertail with a shallow loading angle, and non-runners are winched on, not dragged.
• We are local and friendly. We know the estates, the villages and the back roads, which saves time when you are stuck.

How it works

1. Call or WhatsApp 07598 314366. Tell us where you are, the make and model, and what has happened. A WhatsApp live location is the fastest way to show us exactly where you are.
2. Get a price and arrival time. We confirm the cost on the phone before we set off. Nothing is sent until you are happy.
3. Stay safe while you wait. If you are on a fast road, get everyone out on the side away from traffic and stand behind a barrier if there is one. Our guide on what to do if you break down explains more.
4. We recover you and your vehicle. We load it safely and take it to your home, your garage, a dealer or our secure storage yard.
5. Pay the way that suits you. Card on the day, bank transfer or cash.

Car recovery in Kettering and across Northamptonshire

Corby is home, but our day-to-day patch covers much of north Northamptonshire. We regularly attend breakdowns on the A14 around Kettering, the A43 between Corby and Kettering, the A6003 and the A6116 bypass, as well as quiet village lanes where a car has slid into a verge.

These are the areas we cover most often. Each page explains the roads and situations we deal with there:

• Corby
• Kettering
• Weldon
• Priors Hall Park
• Great Oakley
• Stanion
• Brigstock
• Gretton

How much does vehicle recovery cost in Corby?

Local breakdown recovery has a £60 minimum charge. A jump start has a £40 minimum charge. Everything else, including longer recoveries, car transport and new batteries, is priced on the phone before we set off, based on the distance, the vehicle and how easy it is to load.

Scrap cars work the other way round. We pay you, and the amount depends on the weight of the vehicle, scrap metal prices, the make and model, and its condition.

• Car transport cost guide
• Jump start and battery cost guide
• Scrap car prices guide

Accredited, insured and properly equipped

We are accredited to PAS 43, the national safety standard for vehicle breakdown, recovery and roadside operations. We are also certified to ISO 9001 for quality management. In plain terms, we work to recognised safety and quality standards at the roadside and in the office.

Every vehicle we move is covered by goods in transit insurance. We also carry public liability and road risks cover.

Our fleet includes spec lift tow trucks, beavertail tilt-and-slide transporters and a van with dollies and skates for low car parks, tight spaces and seized wheels. Some trucks can carry one car and tow a second on a dolly, which helps after a two-car accident or when moving a pair of vehicles. Find out more about us.

Who we work for

Most of our call-outs come from private drivers, but we also work for:

• Local garages that need cars brought in or moved between sites
• Car dealers who need stock collected or delivered
• Fleets and companies with vans and pool cars on the road
• Insurance and accident management companies

Business invoicing is available by arrangement. If you need a dependable recovery partner around Corby and Kettering, get in touch.
