Car recovery in Wilbarston, day or night
Breakdown recovery in Wilbarston is usually one of three things: a car that has died on the road towards Market Harborough, a car that has left the road on a wet or frosty lane, or a car that simply won't move from a driveway. Rapid Recovery Corby handles all three, around the clock, from our base just to the east in Corby.
We have been in vehicle recovery for over five years. Our work is PAS 43 accredited and ISO 9001 certified, and every job is covered by goods in transit, public liability and road risks insurance.
Is it safe where you are?
Before anything else, think about where the car has stopped.
- On the main road, get as far left or onto the verge as you safely can, hazards on.
- At night or in fog, add your sidelights.
- Get everyone out on the side away from traffic. If there is a barrier, stand behind it.
- Put on a high-vis if you carry one.
- If you can't get out of a live lane safely, call 999.
Then ring us on 07598 314366. A WhatsApp live location or what3words reference saves time, especially on unlit stretches outside the village where there are few landmarks.
The jobs we do around Wilbarston
Commuter breakdowns
Plenty of people drive between Corby and Market Harborough every day. Cars that do this run day in, day out pick up faults: timing belts, clutches, coolant leaks, electrical problems. When one stops on the way to work, we recover it to your garage, your home or our secure storage yard.
Cars in ditches and verges
Wilbarston sits on a ridge above the Welland valley, and the lanes around it rise and fall. In rain, frost or mud, a car can slide onto a soft verge or into a ditch. We use a winch to bring it back onto firm ground carefully, then check whether it can be driven or needs to come away on the truck.
Accident recovery
After a collision we recover damaged vehicles and clear the road. We take on work for private drivers and for insurance and accident management companies. If anyone is hurt, call 999 first.
Non-runners at home
A car that has sat for a long time, failed its MOT or has seized brakes can be recovered from a driveway or garage. Our van with dollies and skates moves cars that won't roll, including from tight spaces where a truck can't reach.
How much does breakdown recovery in Wilbarston cost?
Local breakdown recovery has a £60 minimum charge. Every other job is priced on the phone before we set off, so there are no surprises.
| Situation | How it is priced |
|---|---|
| Local breakdown recovery | £60 minimum |
| Winch recovery from a ditch or verge | Priced on the phone |

| Recovery across the border or further afield | Priced on the phone |
You can pay by card on the day, bank transfer or cash. Business invoicing is available by arrangement. The breakdown recovery cost guide explains what affects the price.
Vehicles we can recover
Cars, vans up to 3.5 tonnes, 4x4s and SUVs, motorbikes, campervans and classic cars. Farm-area 4x4s that have gone further off-road than planned are within our scope too. Tell us what you are driving and whether it is loaded, and we send a suitable truck.
Crossing the county line
Wilbarston is close to the Leicestershire border, and plenty of local drivers use garages on either side. That doesn't matter to us. We recover anywhere in the UK, so if your usual garage is in Leicestershire, or you need to get home to another part of the country, we price it on the phone and take you there.
Before you call
Try to note:
- What the car did just before it stopped, such as a warning light, a noise or a smell.
- Whether it will roll, steer and brake.
- Whether you have passengers who need a lift.
- Where you would like the car to go.
If the engine has stopped after driving through deep water, don't try to restart it. If it has overheated, let it cool and don't open a hot radiator cap.
Maybe it is just the battery
If the car is on your drive and the starter is only clicking, a jump start in Wilbarston may be all you need. Our car won't start guide can help you work out which it is.
