From the cobbles by Cathedral Green to the trading estates at Marsh Barton, a dead battery freezes the whole day
Exeter packs a lot into a small area. Short hops from Heavitree into the centre, slow crawls along Topsham Road, and cars left for days near Princesshay or the university all leave a battery undercharged. When the engine will not turn, we come to the exact spot rather than asking you to reach a garage.
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 Exeter and the EX postcodes. A battery check once the engine is running is included, and you hear the cost before a technician sets off.
Call or WhatsApp with your postcode, vehicle and symptoms. We confirm we can attend, give a realistic window, and head to your bay, quayside parking or safe roadside location.
Who we help across the city
Cars, vans, SUVs, stop/start petrol and diesel, plus hybrids and EVs with a 12V fault. Plenty of hybrids and electric cars on Exeter driveways rely on a small 12V battery to wake the locks, screens and start-up electronics.

Staying safe while you wait
If you stop on the A30, A38 or near M5 Junction 29, get well away from moving traffic before anything else. Park as far left as you can, switch on hazard lights, and stand behind a barrier rather than beside the car. In a car park or on a quiet residential street there is far less to worry about.
Cathedral city drivers ask us this
How soon can you reach me?
We aim to arrive within 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and availability. Tight spots like the Topsham Road at rush hour can add a little time, and we will give you a realistic window when you call.
Do you cover EX1 to EX5 and the surrounding villages?
Yes. That includes the city centre, Heavitree, Pinhoe, St Thomas, Topsham and the routes towards the M5 and A30.
Can you attend Marsh Barton or Sowton trade units?
We regularly help vans and work vehicles across Marsh Barton, Sowton and Rydon Lane, day or night.
My hybrid is completely dead at the university. Can you help?
Often yes. Many hybrids appear lifeless when the 12V battery is dead, and a safe boost is frequently enough to bring everything back to life.
What should I have ready when I call?
Your postcode or what3words, the make of vehicle, and what happens when you turn the key. That helps us arrive prepared.
Cost and arrival time?
From £70, confirmed before dispatch. Typical ETA is 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and availability.
