Jump starts in Rothwell, wherever the car is
A flat battery is one of the most common reasons we are called to Rothwell. Whether your car is on a driveway, a residential street or in a town centre car park near the Market House, we come to it. Our base in Corby is a short run away, and we give you a realistic arrival time when you call.
A jump start has a £40 minimum charge, and we work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What we do
- Jump start cars and vans using professional jump packs.
- Supply and fit a new battery on the spot if yours has failed.
- Change a flat tyre onto your spare or space saver.
- Recover the car to a garage if none of the above gets you going.
Why batteries fail in Rothwell
Short town journeys
Plenty of Rothwell trips are short: to the shops, to school, to the edge of town and back. The alternator doesn't get long enough to recharge the battery, and over weeks it runs down.
Cold mornings
On frosty mornings a battery delivers less power. A car that started slowly yesterday may not start at all after a cold night.
Cars that stand
A second car on the drive, a car left while you work away, or a car parked up for a holiday can all lose charge.
Old batteries
Batteries wear out. If yours is several years old and starting to struggle, it is probably near the end.
Before heading onto the A14
Many Rothwell drivers use the A14 or A6 for work. A battery that just about started the car on the drive may not restart it after a stop. When we jump start your car, we check whether the battery is holding charge. If it isn't, we tell you honestly and can fit a new one before you set off, rather than risk a breakdown on a fast road.
Mobile battery fitting in Rothwell
We supply and fit batteries where your car is parked. The price depends on the battery your vehicle needs, and we always confirm it with you before fitting.

Flat tyre in Rothwell
If you have a puncture, we will change the wheel onto your spare or space saver. If there is no spare, or the locking wheel nut key is missing, we can recover the car to a tyre fitter. On the A6 or A14, don't attempt a wheel change next to moving traffic. Get to safety, hazards on, and call us.
When a jump start isn't the answer
If the engine turns over well but won't fire, the battery probably isn't the problem. Fuel, ignition or sensor faults are more likely. Our guide on why a car won't start runs through the causes. We won't keep charging you for jump attempts that won't work. Instead, we offer breakdown recovery in Rothwell to a garage.
Signs a battery is close to failing
- The starter turns slowly, especially first thing in the morning.
- Dashboard lights dim or flicker when you turn the key.
- The battery warning light comes on while you are driving.
- You have needed more than one jump start in recent weeks.
Spotting these early means you can book a battery fitting on your drive in Rothwell at a time that suits you, instead of waiting for it to fail somewhere less convenient.
Waiting safely
At home, stay in the house until we arrive. If your car has died on a road, especially at night, keep sidelights and hazards on and wait somewhere safe away from traffic.
Tips to avoid another flat battery
- Drive for longer than a few minutes at least once a week.
- Turn off lights, heaters and phone chargers before switching off.
- Fit a battery maintainer if the car will be parked for a long time.
- Replace an ageing battery before winter.
