Jump Starts

Jump Starts

A flat battery doesn't always mean you need a new one — most of the time a proper jump start with the right equipment gets you straight back on the road, and that's exactly what this service is: quick, roadside, no fuss.

What's included
Roadside jump start with professional equipment
Battery health check while we are there
Honest advice if the battery itself needs replacing
Works on cars, vans and motorbikes
No recovery needed in most cases

Left an interior light on overnight, or the cold's caught your battery out? Most of the time that's all it is — a flat battery that just needs a proper jump start, not a replacement and not a full recovery. We carry the right equipment to do this safely on modern cars, including ones with sensitive electronics that a bad jump can actually damage.

While we're there, we'll check the battery's general health so you know whether it's a one-off or a sign it's on its way out. If it turns out you do need a new battery, we can often fit one there and then — see Battery Replacement for that side of things.
