Corby's own recovery company

Rapid Recovery Corby is a local vehicle recovery business run by George Mitchell. We have been recovering vehicles for over five years, and Corby is where our trucks start every shift. That is why vehicle recovery in Corby is the job we do fastest: typical arrival here is 30 to 45 minutes.

We answer the phone around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. If you are stuck, you speak to someone who knows the town, not a call centre reading a script.

What we cover across the town

We work every part of Corby, from the older streets around the town centre to the newer estates on the edges. A few of the places we are called to most often:

• Estates: Kingswood, Lodge Park, Danesholme, Beanfield, Oakley Vale and Hazel Leys, where most calls are driveway breakdowns, flat batteries and non-runners.
• Town centre: the Elizabeth Street shopping area and the car parks around it, where a car that won't start after a shop is a common call.
• Corby railway station: commuters who come back in the evening to a flat battery or a warning light.
• Industrial estates and business parks: Earlstrees, Oakley Hay and the Phoenix Parkway area, where we help fleets, vans and staff cars.

The roads in and around Corby

Corby's roads shape the work we do. The A6116 bypass carries traffic round the town through a long run of roundabouts, and a car that cuts out on one of them needs moving quickly and safely. The A43 heads out towards Kettering one way and Stamford the other. The A6003 runs north to Rockingham and south to Kettering, and the A427 goes west towards Market Harborough.

These are fast roads with heavy commuter and lorry traffic at peak times. We use PAS 43 working practices on every roadside job, which is the national safety standard for breakdown and recovery work, so the scene is set up properly before anyone touches your car.

What can we do for you in Corby?

We offer four services across the town. Each has its own page with Corby-specific detail.

Every other job is priced on the phone before we set off, so you know the cost before a truck moves.

Our trucks and kit

We run a fleet of five-plus recovery vehicles from Corby. That includes spec lift tow trucks, beavertail tilt-and-slide transporters, and a van with dollies and skates. The van is the one we send to low multi-storey car parks, tight garages and cars with seized wheels. Some trucks can carry one car and tow a second on a dolly, which is useful for two-car accidents or dealer moves.

We recover cars, vans up to 3.5 tonnes, 4x4s and SUVs, motorbikes, campervans and classic cars. When we bring your vehicle back to Corby and it can't go straight to a garage, it can stay in our secure storage yard.

Who uses us

Most of our calls come from private drivers, but a good share comes from businesses on Corby's industrial estates. We work with garages, car dealers, fleets and companies, and we handle insurance and accident management recoveries. Business invoicing is available by arrangement.

People tell us they choose us because we turn up quickly, charge fair prices, are friendly and local, and look after their cars carefully. We hold ISO 9001 for quality management and carry goods in transit, public liability and road risks insurance.

If you break down in Corby right now

Stay safe first. If you are on the A6116, A43 or another fast road, pull as far left as you can or into a lay-by, put your hazards on and get everyone out on the side away from traffic. If you can't get out of a live lane safely, call 999.

Then call or WhatsApp us on 07598 314366. Sending a WhatsApp live location gets us to you fastest. Our full guide on what to do if you break down covers the rest, and our costs page explains how we price.
