Vehicle transport for Kettering
Car transport in Kettering is ideal when a vehicle needs to get from A to B but can't, or shouldn't, be driven. With the A14 running past the town, Kettering is well placed for collections and deliveries in every direction, and our Corby base is a short run away.
We use beavertail tilt-and-slide transporters for open car transport. Low cars, track cars and non-runners load easily on the gentle angle.
Who books car transport in Kettering?
Private buyers
Bought a car from a seller in another part of the country? We collect it and bring it to you in Kettering, Barton Seagrave or Burton Latimer. It saves a long journey out and a long drive back in a car you don't know yet.
Auction buyers
We collect auction purchases and deliver them to your home or business. Tell us the auction site, the lot and the release arrangements.
Garages and dealers
Kettering has plenty of motor trade businesses. We move stock between sites, deliver sold cars to buyers and take vehicles to specialists. Some of our trucks can carry one car and tow a second on a dolly, which keeps costs down when you have two to move.
Businesses near the A14
Companies on the business parks near the A14 use us to move pool cars, vans and broken-down fleet vehicles to their service provider. Business invoicing is available by arrangement.
Motorsport and classic owners
Track cars, rally cars and classics often aren't road legal or shouldn't rack up miles. We transport them to events, workshops and restorers. We offer open transport only, not enclosed, and we load and strap with real care.
Moving house to or from Kettering?
If you are moving home and have a car that doesn't run, a project car or one more car than drivers, we can move it as part of your plans. Give us both addresses and your moving date, and we will fit the collection around it.
What affects the price?
Every car transport job from Kettering gets a fixed price agreed before booking. We work it out from:
- the collection and delivery addresses
- the size and weight of the vehicle
- whether it runs, rolls, steers and brakes
- access at each end, such as narrow streets, gated yards or low car parks
- whether we are moving one vehicle or two
| Type of job | What we need to quote |
|---|---|
| Private sale collection | Seller's postcode, your postcode, car details |
| Auction collection | Auction site, lot details, release arrangements |
| Dealer delivery | Both addresses, vehicle details, delivery window |
| Non-runner move | Whether the wheels turn and handbrake releases |

How a Kettering collection works
- Call or WhatsApp 07598 314366 with the details.
- We give you a fixed price and a collection window.
- We collect, check the vehicle and secure it by the wheels.
- We deliver to the agreed address and hand over the keys.
If a delivery can't happen straight away, the vehicle can wait in our secure storage yard.
Insured and accredited
We carry goods in transit, public liability and road risks insurance. We are PAS 43 accredited for safe roadside and recovery operations and hold ISO 9001 for quality management. Most importantly, we are known for being careful with the cars we carry.
Checks before collection
A little preparation makes the day smoother:
- Confirm the car is paid for and released, especially from an auction.
- Make sure the keys are available at collection.
- Remove loose items from the car.
- Let the seller or garage know when to expect us.
- Tell us about anything unusual, such as a low splitter, flat tyres or a dead battery.
If you are buying a car that hasn't started in a while, our guide on why a car won't start can help you ask the seller the right questions.
Planned moves versus breakdowns
Car transport is for moves you can plan. If the car has just broken down on the A14 or in town, use breakdown recovery in Kettering instead, and we will treat it as urgent. If the car only needs a jump start in Kettering before you drive it away, we can do that too.
Other areas
We also offer car transport from Corby, Rothwell and Desborough.
