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.

Why Home Start Is Needed in Roche

Roche's roads tell their own story. The B3274 handles far more traffic than it was designed for. Near B3274 through village, narrow bends and limited visibility create hazards. Visitors heading for Roche Rock often underestimate the local driving conditions. Roche Rock's ruined chapel perches dramatically on a granite outcrop — the surrounding clay roads are equally dramatic when wet, turning to a slippery white paste. It all adds up to consistent demand for reliable home start.

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

Home start costs are straightforward — you pay for the call-out and any replacement parts (usually a battery). There are no hidden fees. If we can't get your vehicle started at home, we'll discuss recovery options and adjust the price accordingly.
