Jump Start Service
Flat battery? We attend with professional jump packs and get you started at the roadside, no tow needed in most cases. Part of our standard breakdown response across Glasgow, Edinburgh and Central Scotland. Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
A flat battery is one of the most common breakdown calls we get, and in most cases it is also the quickest to resolve. Our recovery vehicles carry professional-grade jump packs capable of starting anything from a small hatchback to a larger diesel engine, so in the majority of cases you are back on the road within minutes, no tow required.
If the battery turns out to be beyond a simple jump start, perhaps it is old, damaged or the alternator is not charging, we will explain what we have found and arrange recovery to a garage from there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a jump start definitely get my car going?
In most cases, yes. If the issue is genuinely just a flat battery, our jump packs will get you started. If the battery or alternator is faulty, we will let you know and arrange recovery.
Is a jump start included in a normal call-out?
Yes, it is part of our standard breakdown response, and there is no separate charge for attempting a jump start.
