Planning to drive through Newquay? Check your tyre pressures before you go — the A392 surface can be unforgiving on under-inflated tyres. Near Henver Road, be aware of pedestrians, cyclists, and farm vehicles. And if you're towing, give yourself extra braking distance on Newquay's hills.

Real-World Scenario

Car sat unused for two weeks and won't start? Modern vehicles draw a small amount of power even when parked — dashboard clocks, alarm systems, and keyless entry modules all drain the battery slowly. After two weeks, a borderline battery will be flat. We can start it and test whether you need a replacement.

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.
