Cornwall’s only city: Lemon Quay, a Treliske shift and the A30 all need the engine to turn
Truro is Cornwall’s administrative and hospital hub, so the days are busy and the car parks are full. Cars left near the station go silent after a few days. Slow lanes around central Cornwall keep alternator output low. When the 12V gives up at Lemon Quay, Threemilestone or Malpas, we bring professional booster equipment to your exact location.
Agree from £70 before we dispatch and expect us in roughly 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and availability.
Central Cornwall drivers ring about
How quickly can you reach me?
We aim for 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and availability. A run across the city is fast, while the A30 at peak times can add a little.
Can you reach the Treliske hospital car parks?
Yes. We regularly help staff and visitors parked around the Royal Cornwall Hospital site, day or night.
Do you cover the A30 towards Plymouth?
We cover Truro and central Cornwall plus the A30 corridor. On a live carriageway, reach a safe spot first, then call.
Will a jump start fix my hybrid?
Often, yes. A dead 12V battery is a common reason a hybrid looks lifeless, and a safe boost frequently restores power.
What details help you arrive prepared?
Your postcode or what3words, the vehicle make, 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 city
Cars, vans, SUVs, stop/start petrol and diesel, plus hybrids and EVs with a 12V fault. Plenty of drivers here run hybrids and electric cars that rely on a small 12V battery to power the locks, screens and start sequence.

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 Truro and the TR1 to TR4 area. 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 bay, hospital car park or safe roadside location.
Roadside safety on the A30
If you stop on the A30 or A390, treat it as a fast road. Get the car onto the verge if you can, switch on hazard lights, and stand back from traffic behind a barrier before phoning. On a city street or in a car park there is no such pressure.
