Real-World Scenario

Diesel gelling in freezing temperatures? Diesel fuel contains paraffin wax that crystallises in extreme cold, blocking fuel filters and preventing the engine from starting. We carry fuel additives and can clear blocked filters at your door to get you moving.

What NOT to Do

Don't pour boiling water on a frozen windscreen — the thermal shock will crack the glass. Use a proper de-icer or call us if the vehicle won't start in freezing conditions.

Why Home Start Is Needed in Pendeen

Equipment We Carry

For home starts, we bring professional-grade lithium jump packs capable of starting even large diesel engines, battery testing equipment that checks both cranking amps and charging system health, and a selection of the most common replacement batteries for fitting on the spot.

Pricing — No Hidden Fees
