Does Rapid Recovery cover Great Easton?

Yes. Vehicle recovery in Great Easton is part of our regular work, even though the village sits over the county line in Leicestershire. Rapid Recovery Corby is based on the Northamptonshire side of the Welland valley, and we cross it day and night to reach drivers here. The county boundary makes no difference to how we work or what we charge.

We have been in vehicle recovery for over five years. Our fleet of five-plus vehicles includes spec lift tow trucks, beavertail tilt-and-slide transporters and a van with dollies and skates. We are PAS 43 accredited and ISO 9001 certified.

A village shaped by the valley

Great Easton faces Rockingham and Cottingham across the valley, with Caldecott and Eyebrook Reservoir close by. That setting brings problems that town drivers rarely meet:

• Narrow lanes. Squeezing past a van or a tractor can put a wheel into a soft verge or a ditch.
• Low roads that flood. After heavy rain, water can lie on the lower roads around the village, and cars get caught out.
• Visitors. Eyebrook Reservoir draws anglers and day visitors who park for hours and come back to a car that won't start.
• Cars that sit. Second cars on drives, short local trips and older vehicles kept for best all end up with flat batteries or as non-runners.

Caught in flood water near Great Easton

If the water is deeper than you expected and the engine cuts out, do not try to restart it. Turning the engine over with water inside can cause serious damage. Put your hazards on, get out only if it is safe, and move to higher ground. Then call us. We can winch the car clear and take it to a garage or our secure storage yard to be checked.

If you can't tell how deep a flooded stretch is, the safest choice is to turn round and find another way.

What we can do for you in Great Easton

How quickly can you reach Great Easton?

Great Easton is a short run from our Corby base. When you call, we tell you a realistic arrival time based on where our nearest truck is at that moment. We always answer the phone, so you are not left talking to a voicemail at midnight.

Helping us find you

Country lanes can all look alike in the dark. The quickest way to guide us in is to send your WhatsApp live location to 07598 314366. A what3words reference works too. Failing that, tell us the nearest landmark, which way you were heading and what you can see around you. Our guide on what to do if you break down covers the rest.

Anglers and day visitors at Eyebrook Reservoir

A long day by the water often means lights left on, a phone charging through the dash, or a tired battery that finally gives up on a cold evening. Call us with where you parked and your car's make and model. Most of the time a jump start or a new battery fitted on the spot gets you home. If not, we can recover the car back to your own area.

What does it cost?

Local breakdown recovery has a £60 minimum charge and a jump start has a £40 minimum. Every other job is priced on the phone before we set off, so you know where you stand. We take card on the day, bank transfer or cash, and business invoicing can be arranged. Scrap cars are always paid for by bank transfer. Full details are in our costs section.

Who we work for

Most calls from Great Easton come from private drivers, but we also work for garages, car dealers, fleets and insurance and accident management companies. Whoever is calling, we are careful with every vehicle and fair with every price.
