Vehicle recovery in Rushton when you need it
Vehicle recovery in Rushton means working on narrow village lanes, often with little room either side. Rapid Recovery Corby has been recovering vehicles for over five years and covers Rushton 24 hours a day from our base in Corby. Call 07598 314366 and we will tell you what we are sending and what it costs before we leave.
We recover cars, vans up to 3.5 tonnes, 4x4s and SUVs, motorbikes, campervans and classic cars, and we can take them anywhere in the UK.
Breakdowns on narrow lanes
A car that stops on a narrow lane blocks the road for everyone. Other drivers may come round a bend and find you without warning. Your first job is to make yourself visible and get people out of the car and away from the road.
- Hazards on. If it is dark or misty, sidelights on as well.
- Everyone out on the side away from traffic.
- Wait in a field gateway, on a verge or behind a barrier, well back from the lane.
- Put on a high-vis if you carry one.
- Call us with your location. A WhatsApp live location or what3words reference is the quickest way to pinpoint a lane.
If you are on a busier road and stuck in a live lane where it is not safe to get out, call 999 first.
Near the River Ise after heavy rain
Rushton sits by the River Ise. Any road near a river can collect water after heavy rain, and it is easy to misjudge depth. If your engine stalls in floodwater, don't try to restart it. Doing so can draw water into the engine and turn a recovery into a much bigger repair. Get to safety and call us. We will winch the car out and take it to a garage.
Off the lane and into a ditch
Pulling over for an oncoming vehicle on a narrow lane is a common way to end up with a wheel in a ditch or on soft ground. We carry out off-road and ditch recovery with a winch, so the car can be pulled back without further damage. Tell us whether the car is upright, how far it has gone in, and whether anything is caught underneath.
Heading to the A6 or A14
Desborough and Rothwell are both on the A6, and the A14 is close to Rothwell. If you break down on those roads on your way to or from Rushton, we can come to you there too. On fast roads, get as far left or onto the verge as you safely can before stopping, and wait behind any barrier. Our A14 breakdown advice explains what to do on a busy dual carriageway.
Accident recovery
We recover accident damaged vehicles for drivers, insurers and accident management firms. After a collision, the car can go to a repairer, to your home or into our secure storage yard. If anyone is hurt, ring 999 before you ring us.

Day visitors and classic cars
The Triangular Lodge brings visitors to Rushton, some in older or classic cars. If a classic stops, we load it on a beavertail with a gentle angle and strap it down securely. If you are a long way from home, we can recover the car all the way back.
Non-runners at home
Not every breakdown happens on the road. If a car has failed on the drive or been standing too long to move, we can winch it onto a beavertail and take it to the garage. Our van with dollies and skates handles cars with seized wheels in tight spaces.
Tell us these when you call
- Make, model and registration.
- Where you are, and which way you were heading.
- What happened before the car stopped.
- Whether it rolls, steers and brakes.
- Where you would like it taken.
