Breakdown recovery in Brigstock, on main roads and country lanes

Breaking down near Brigstock can mean two very different situations. On the A6116 you are dealing with fast traffic heading between Corby, Thrapston and the A14. On the lanes around the village you might be on a single-track road, with a soft verge, no street lights and no other cars for a while. Our breakdown recovery covers both.

We recover cars, vans up to 3.5 tonnes, 4x4s and SUVs, motorbikes, campervans and classic cars. After loading, we can take your vehicle home, to a garage of your choice, to our secure yard or to anywhere in the UK.

A6116 breakdowns between Corby and Thrapston

The A6116 is the main route through Brigstock and a link between Corby and the A14 at Thrapston. Long-distance drivers and commuters both use it, which is why a lot of our calls come from people who do not know the area. Typical faults include:

• Overheating. Turn the engine off and leave the radiator cap alone while it is hot.
• Clutch, gearbox and driveshaft failures.
• Punctures and tyre blowouts.
• Electrical faults and warning lights followed by loss of power.
• Collisions, including with wildlife on the rural stretches.

What to do if you break down near Brigstock

1. Move as far left as you safely can, onto a verge or into a lay-by.
2. Hazards on, and sidelights on if it is dark.
3. Get out on the side away from traffic. Stand behind a barrier if there is one.
4. Put on a high-vis if you have one.
5. If you are stuck in a live lane and cannot get out safely, call 999.
6. Call us on 07598 314366, or send a WhatsApp live location.

If you were heading to or from the A14, our A14 breakdown advice is also worth reading. The what to do if you break down guide covers general roadside safety.

Off-road, verge and ditch recovery

The lanes around Brigstock and Fermyn Woods are narrow, and verges can be soft, especially in winter. Cars slide off on wet or icy bends, or drop a wheel when pulling over for oncoming traffic. Our trucks are fitted with winches, so we can recover a vehicle from a ditch or field edge in a controlled way, then load it for transport.

If your car has left the road, do not keep spinning the wheels to get out. Switch the engine off, get clear of the vehicle and call us. We will ask how the car is sitting so we can bring the right equipment.
