Breakdown and accident recovery
Our main service, available 24/7. We recover cars, vans up to 3.5 tonnes, 4x4s, motorbikes, campervans and classic cars from the roadside, after accidents, from driveways, ditches and low car parks. Local recovery has a £60 minimum charge, and anything further is priced before we set off. See the breakdown recovery cost guide.
Car transport
Open transport for auction collections, dealer deliveries, private sale pick-ups, garage and MOT runs, house moves, classics and non-runners. We cover the whole UK and agree a fixed price before booking. See the car transport cost guide.
Jump starts and batteries
If your car won't start, we can jump start it, or supply and fit a new battery on the spot if the old one has had it. We also change flat tyres onto your spare or space saver. Jump starts have a £40 minimum charge, and batteries are priced by the battery your car needs. Read car won't start? and the jump start cost guide.
Scrap car collection
We buy scrap and unwanted cars, vans and motorbikes, including non-runners and cars with no MOT. Collection is free and payment is by bank transfer. Every vehicle goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility. Our guide on how to scrap a car explains the paperwork, and the scrap car prices guide explains what affects the value.
What we can move
Our fleet of five-plus recovery vehicles covers most jobs up to 3.5 tonnes:
- Cars, from city cars to executive saloons and estates
- Vans up to 3.5 tonnes
- 4x4s and SUVs
- Motorbikes
- Campervans
- Classic and prestige cars
Spec lift trucks handle quick roadside recoveries. Beavertail tilt-and-slide transporters have a shallow loading angle for low cars. Our van with dollies and skates gets into low car parks and tight spaces, and moves cars with seized wheels.
Who uses our services
Private drivers make up most of our work. We also help garages that need cars brought in, dealers moving stock, fleets with vans off the road, and insurance and accident management companies. Business invoicing is available by arrangement.
The same standards on every job
Every job is carried out under our PAS 43 accreditation and ISO 9001 quality management, with goods in transit insurance on every vehicle we move. You get a price before we set off and a realistic arrival time. Services are available across all the areas we cover, from Corby to Kettering and beyond. To book or ask a question, contact us.

Can you help with something not listed here?
Probably. If it involves moving a vehicle that can't move itself, call us and describe the job. We will tell you straight away if we can do it.

Often, yes. For example, if a jump start doesn't work we can fit a new battery or recover the car to a garage on the same visit, once you have agreed the price.
Do you recover vans and motorbikes?
Yes. We recover vans up to 3.5 tonnes, motorbikes, 4x4s, campervans and classic cars as well as ordinary cars.
Do you offer enclosed car transport?
No. Our car transport is open transport on our recovery trucks and beavertail transporters.

Breakdown recovery and jump starts are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Car transport and scrap collections are booked at a time that suits you.
