Real-World Scenario

After a jump start, the engine died again immediately? This usually means the alternator isn't charging — the jump got the engine running, but it can't sustain itself. We test your charging system on the spot and can often diagnose whether it's the alternator, a wiring fault, or just a failed battery.

What NOT to Do

Never jump-start a vehicle using household mains electricity via an improvised setup — it's potentially lethal. Our professional jump packs are safe and effective.

Madron sits on high ground above Penzance, and its exposed lanes can ice over in winter when the coast stays mild. That's why we keep Madron well within our response area.
