If you are searching for a jump start near you in Corby, you are in our home town. Our vehicles are based here, so we usually reach you within 30 to 45 minutes, at any hour. We jump start cars and vans, supply and fit new batteries on the spot, and change a flat tyre onto your spare or space saver.

When Corby drivers call us
Cold mornings on the estates
On frosty mornings across Kingswood, Lodge Park, Danesholme, Beanfield, Oakley Vale and Hazel Leys, tired batteries give up. A car that turned over slowly the day before often won't start at all after a cold night. We get you going so you can still get to work.
Corby railway station
Commuters who leave a car at Corby station all day sometimes come back in the evening to a flat battery, usually after leaving an interior light on or because the battery was already weak. Call us from the car park and we will come to you.
Town centre and shopping
Short trips into the Elizabeth Street shopping area don't give a battery much time to recharge. If your car won't start when you come back to it, we can usually jump it where it is.
Industrial estates
Vans sitting idle over a weekend at Earlstrees, Oakley Hay or around Phoenix Parkway can have flat batteries on a Monday morning. We help fleets get vehicles moving before the working day starts.
What happens when we arrive
- We check the battery and connections before connecting anything.
- We jump start the car using a professional jump pack.
- If the car starts, we check whether the battery is charging properly.
- If the battery is failing, we tell you, quote for a new one, and fit it there and then if you want it.
- If the car still won't start, it may not be the battery, and we can recover it to a garage.
That last step matters. Because we are a recovery company, a failed jump start doesn't leave you stuck. We can tow you instead, with the £60 minimum charge for local breakdown recovery priced up before we move the car.
Mobile battery fitting in Corby

Flat tyre in Corby?
If you have a puncture, we can change the wheel onto your spare or space saver. If your car has no spare, or the wheel won't come off, we can recover the car to a tyre fitter instead.
Signs your battery is on its way out
- The engine turns over slowly, especially in the cold.
- Dashboard lights flicker or dim when you start the car.
- The battery warning light comes on while driving.
- You have needed a jump start more than once recently.
- The battery is several years old and has never been replaced.
If you notice any of these, a new battery fitted at home in Corby saves you a call-out at a worse moment.
Why do batteries go flat?
Most flat batteries we see in Corby come down to a handful of causes:
- Short journeys. A trip from Danesholme to the shops and back doesn't give the alternator long enough to top the battery up.
- Cold weather. Low temperatures reduce how much power a battery can deliver, which is why winter mornings are our busiest for jump starts.
- Lights or accessories left on. An interior light or a phone charger left plugged in overnight can drain a weaker battery.
- Cars left standing. A car parked for a couple of weeks, perhaps while you are on holiday or working away, can lose charge.
- Age. Every battery wears out eventually, and an old one will let you down at some point whatever you do.
After a jump start
Once we have started your car, keep it running. A good drive of half an hour or so on a mix of roads gives the battery a chance to recharge. Avoid switching off straight away at the end of your road. If the car won't start again the next morning, the battery is likely to be the problem and replacing it is the sensible fix.
Do not keep jump starting a battery that has failed. It puts strain on the charging system and leaves you exposed to another breakdown, possibly somewhere less convenient than your own drive.
Staying safe while you wait
If your car has stopped on a fast road such as the A6116 or A43 rather than at home, treat it as a breakdown. Pull as far left as you can, hazards on, and get everyone out on the side away from traffic. At night, keep sidelights and hazards on. Our guide on why a car won't start covers the most common causes.
