From the Barbican cobbles to a shift at Derriford, the Ocean City stops fast when the battery dies
Plymouth spreads from the Hoe and Barbican up to Mutley, Lipson and Peverell, then out to Plympton, Plymstock and Estover. Hill starts around Mutley work a tired battery harder. Cars left for days while away on the ferry drain through keyless systems. When the engine will not turn, we come to your bay, waterfront parking or driveway.
Agree from £70 before we dispatch and expect us in roughly 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and availability.
What it costs and how booking works
Most call-outs are from £70, quoted on the phone before we leave. That covers a standard mobile jump start across Plymouth and the PL postcodes. A battery check once the engine is running is included.
Call or WhatsApp with your postcode, vehicle and symptoms. We confirm we can attend, give a realistic window, and head to your location on Royal Parade, the A38 Parkway or a safe roadside spot.
Ocean City motorists ask first
How quickly can you reach me?
We aim for 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and availability. A clear run is quick, while rush hour on the A38 Parkway can add a little time.
Do you cover PL1 to PL9?
Yes. That includes the city centre, Mutley, Plympton, Plymstock, Derriford and the coastal routes.
Can you attend Derriford and the hospital area?
We regularly help drivers around Derriford and the surrounding car parks, day or night.
Will a jump start work on my electric car?
Often, yes. When an EV looks dead it is frequently the 12V battery, and a safe boost can bring the systems back where appropriate.
What should I tell you when I call?
Your exact location or postcode, the vehicle type, and what happens when you try to start it.
Cost and arrival time?
From £70, confirmed before dispatch. Typical ETA is 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and availability.
Who we help across the waterfront and suburbs
Cars, vans, SUVs, stop/start petrol and diesel, plus hybrids and EVs with a 12V fault. Most hybrids and electric cars here need a healthy 12V battery before the main systems will wake.

Roadside safety on the A38 and A386
If you stop on the A38 Parkway or the A386, treat it as a fast road. Get the car onto the verge if you can, switch on hazard lights, and stand well back behind a barrier before calling. In a city car park or on a quiet street there is no such risk.
