At the roadside
Won’t start? Most battery problems are sorted where the car is.
No tow, no trip to a garage. We come to you, find out why the car won’t start, and give you a clear price before anything is done.
- Jump startBack on the move when the battery has simply run flat — lights left on, lots of short journeys or a cold morning.Get a jump start
- Battery and charging testWe check the battery and the charging system properly, not just a quick boost, so you know whether it will start again tomorrow.Not sure? Start here
- Battery replacementIf the battery has genuinely failed, we arrange the right replacement for your vehicle at a price you agree first.Get a replacement price
If a jump start won’t fix it, we’ll tell you — rather than getting you going and leaving you to break down again down the road.
Signs your battery is on its way out
- The engine turns over slowly
- A clicking sound when you try to start
- A battery warning light on the dashboard
- Needing more than one jump start
Locked out, or the key itself is the problem? See our vehicle lockout assistance.

- Vehicle make, model and year
- The type of battery your vehicle needs
- Whether a jump start is enough or a replacement is needed
- Whether the charging system needs further checks
- Your location and where the vehicle is parked
- Specialist availability and timing
Motorstead confirms the proposed arrangement and price for your approval before anything is booked.

Yes. Tell us where the vehicle is and what is happening. Motorstead checks which independent specialist can attend and confirms the price before anything is booked.

We will tell you, rather than getting you going and leaving you to break down again. If the vehicle cannot be driven we can arrange breakdown and recovery, and mechanical repairs can be arranged separately with your approval.
Cover depends on the battery fitted and its manufacturer. The exact terms are confirmed in writing with your quote.
Your location, registration, whether the car is failing to start right now and whether the dashboard or ignition lights come on. If you are unsure of something, tell us what you do know. You can also reach us through our contact page.
