What to tell us before a call-out
- Your registration, make and model, including whether the vehicle is hybrid or electric.
- Your exact location or postcode, parking level, and any height limits or barriers.
- What happens when you try to start: clicking, slow cranking, warning lights or no response.
- Whether you have the keys and can access the vehicle.
A flat battery is one possible cause of starting trouble. If a jump start is unsuitable or does not resolve the problem, we can discuss breakdown recovery to an agreed destination. For recurring starting problems, read our car battery and starting guide.
Jump-start questions
Can you help in a multi-storey or restricted car park?
Yes. Our portable super booster packs can be carried to your vehicle, including upper parking levels where a recovery truck cannot go. Give us the car-park name, level and bay, and any entry instructions. For managed or airport parking, arrange any required access with the operator.
How quickly can you get to me?
Call for current availability. Traffic, existing jobs, your exact location and car-park access affect arrival time. We will discuss an estimate before you book.
How much does a jump-start call-out cost?
Call-outs start from £60. Tell us your location, vehicle and access details for a quote, and confirm the total price and what it includes before agreeing the call-out.
What if the car still will not start?
A starting problem may need more than battery assistance. Tell us the symptoms so we can discuss suitable help. If recovery is needed, agree the destination and price with the team.
Local jump-start guides
Choose the page for where your vehicle is parked. Each explains the starting checks, location and access details that help us arrange appropriate assistance.
More than just a jump start
We use high-output portable super booster packs to get you started. Our visit also includes checking the battery and whether the vehicle's charging system is charging it properly. We investigate the likely reason for the starting problem and explain what we find.
- Battery check: assess the battery rather than assume it only needs a boost.
- Charging check: check whether the vehicle is charging the battery once it is running.
- Cause and next steps: discuss why the issue may have happened and whether to consider battery replacement or further diagnosis.
The aim is to help you leave with a clearer understanding of the fault, not simply a restarted engine. If further work is needed, we explain that so you can decide what to do next.
Help in multi-storey car parks
Parked on an upper level or behind a height barrier? Our portable super booster packs can be taken to your vehicle, even where a recovery truck cannot reach your parking level. Tell us the car park, level, bay and any access instructions so we can arrange the visit. If the vehicle needs recovery rather than a jump start, we discuss that access separately.
