Areas we cover for vehicle recovery

Recovery across north Northamptonshire

Our trucks are based in Corby, which puts Kettering, the A14 and the villages around Rockingham Forest a short run away. Most call-outs within Corby itself are reached in 30 to 45 minutes. For everywhere else, we give you a realistic arrival time when you call.

Each area page explains the roads and situations we are called to most there, and links to all four of our services in that area.

Corby and the new neighbourhoods

• Corby: our home base. From Kingswood and Lodge Park to Oakley Vale, Danesholme and the industrial estates, plus the A6116, A43, A6003 and A427.
• Priors Hall Park: the large new neighbourhood between Corby and Weldon, full of families and new homes.
• Great Oakley: the old village on Corby's southern edge beside Oakley Vale and the Oakley Hay industrial area.

Towns along the A14 and A6

• Kettering: on the A14 freight route, with the A43, A6 and A509 all meeting nearby.
• Rothwell: the market town on the A6 west of Kettering, close to the A14.
• Desborough: the growing town on the A6 between Kettering and Market Harborough.

Villages east of Corby

• Weldon: right next to Corby on the A43 towards Stamford.
• Deenethorpe: a small stone village off the A43 east of Weldon, among farms and tracks.
• Stanion: on the A6116 south-east of Corby.
• Brigstock: a larger village on the A6116 towards Thrapston, near Fermyn Woods Country Park.
• Geddington: between Corby and Kettering just off the A43, home to the Eleanor Cross and the ford over the River Ise.

Villages north and west of Corby

• Gretton: the hilltop village above the Welland valley, with steep lanes that turn icy in winter.
• Rockingham: home of Rockingham Castle, on the A6003 with the steep Rockingham Hill.
• Cottingham: on the A427 west of Corby, with a steep, bendy road through the village.
• Middleton: joined to Cottingham along the A427 on the edge of the Welland valley.

How do I tell you where I am in a village?

Village breakdowns are harder to pin down than a town street. Share your WhatsApp live location if you can, or give us a what3words address. Failing that, tell us the road you are on, the nearest village or junction, a landmark such as a church, pub or farm entrance, and which way you were heading. If you are on a dual carriageway, the small marker posts at the roadside carry a reference that helps us find you.

Why our base in Corby helps

Because our trucks start the day in Corby rather than a distant depot, the towns and villages on this page are all a short run away. We know which lanes are too narrow for a big transporter, which hills catch people out in frost, and where the safe places to load are. That means fewer wasted minutes when you are waiting at the roadside.

Rural call-outs often involve narrow lanes, verges, mud and steep hills. Our van with dollies and skates and our winch-equipped trucks are useful there, as are our beavertails for low cars. If you have broken down on a fast road near one of these places, read what to do if you break down or our advice on breaking down on the A14.

Outside these areas?

We still recover and transport vehicles anywhere in the UK, from a breakdown further along the A14 to a car collection at the other end of the country. Call 07598 314366 with the location and we will give you a price and an honest arrival time. You can also contact us for non-urgent jobs.
