Recovery for Kettering, from just up the road
Kettering is one of the busiest places we work. Our trucks are based in Corby, linked to Kettering by the A43, so vehicle recovery in Kettering is a short run for us. When you call, we tell you a realistic arrival time rather than a guess.
We are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. George Mitchell runs the business, and we have been in vehicle recovery for over five years.
Why Kettering keeps us busy
Kettering sits where several major routes meet, and each brings its own type of call.
- The A14: a heavy freight route running past the town. Breakdowns here happen among fast-moving lorries, so safe, quick recovery matters most.
- The A43: the road between Kettering and Corby, used by commuters both ways.
- The A6: running through the area towards Rothwell and Desborough to the north-west.
- The A509: the route south towards Wellingborough.
Away from the main roads, we help drivers in the town centre, at Kettering station, on the business parks near the A14, and in Barton Seagrave and Burton Latimer close by.

Built for main road work
Most of our Kettering calls involve fast roads, so we work to PAS 43, the national safety standard for vehicle breakdown, recovery and roadside operations. That covers how we position our trucks, set up warning lights and keep you and our driver safe while we load your vehicle.
We also hold ISO 9001 for quality management, and we carry goods in transit, public liability and road risks insurance.
Our recovery fleet
Our five-plus recovery vehicles include spec lift tow trucks, beavertail tilt-and-slide transporters and a van with dollies and skates. The van is ideal for Kettering's multi-storey car parks and narrow spaces where a full-size truck won't fit. Some trucks can carry one car and tow another on a dolly, which helps clear two-car accidents in one trip.
We recover cars, vans up to 3.5 tonnes, 4x4s and SUVs, motorbikes, campervans and classic cars.
Garages, dealers and fleets in Kettering
Kettering has plenty of garages, dealers and businesses on its parks near the A14. We move vehicles between sites, deliver sold cars, recover broken-down company vans and carry out insurance and accident management recoveries. Business invoicing is available by arrangement.
Broken down near Kettering now?
Get yourself safe before anything else. On the A14 or another fast road, pull onto the verge or into a lay-by as far left as you can, put your hazards on and get everyone out away from the traffic. Stand behind the barrier if there is one. If you can't get out of a live lane safely, call 999.
Then call or WhatsApp 07598 314366. A WhatsApp live location or what3words address helps us find you straight away. On the A14, tell us your direction of travel and the nearest marker post or junction sign. Our A14 breakdown advice has more detail.
Paying for recovery
Card on the day, bank transfer or cash are all fine. We always pay for scrap cars by bank transfer. If your car needs to wait before going to a garage, it can stay in our secure storage yard.
Nearby, we also cover Geddington, Rothwell, Desborough and our home town of Corby.
