Car & van recovery in Kettering.

Kettering sits where the A14 meets the A43, which means two very different kinds of callout: fast-moving A14 breakdowns between Junction 7 and Junction 10, and slower jobs on the town's older streets around Rockingham Road and Northampton Road. We cover both.

Roads we cover

The Kettering roads we get called to

Every town has its own trouble spots. These are the ones that come up most around Kettering.

A14 (Jct 7–10)

The main artery through Kettering and the one we get called to most. If you've stopped on the A14, get behind the barrier — it's a fast dual carriageway with limited hard shoulder in places.

A43

Our usual route up from Northampton via Broughton. Also the road most Kettering-bound breakdowns happen on when people are heading towards Corby.

A6003

The Kettering–Corby–Uppingham road, running past Rockingham. Rural, unlit in stretches, and a common spot for late-night calls.

A509 & A6

Links down to Wellingborough and Isham. Roadworks and single-carriageway sections here can slow us down at peak times.

Villages & surrounding area

Where we go around Kettering

Kettering General Hospital sits just off the A14, and we're often asked to move a car left in the hospital car parks after someone's been admitted or discharged and can't drive. We also do regular runs to and from the industrial estates off Telford Way and Orion Way.

We cover Kettering itself and the villages around it. If you're somewhere not listed here, ring anyway — the list isn't a boundary, it's just the places we end up most often.

Kettering questions

Before you call

How long will you actually be?
Kettering is about 16 miles from us, A43 then the A14. In normal traffic that's 35–50 minutes from the moment you ring. You'll get a real estimate on the call — if we're already on another job and it'll be longer, we'll say so rather than leave you waiting.
Where will you take my vehicle?
Wherever you want it — your home, your own garage, a repair shop you've already spoken to, or a dealer. We don't have a garage we push people towards, so the choice is genuinely yours. If you're not sure yet, we can take it home and you can decide later.
Do you take low or modified cars?
Yes. We run a flatbed with ramps rather than a spec lift, which is what you want for anything lowered. Mention the ride height when you call so we bring the right approach.
What if I'm on a motorway or dual carriageway?
Get the vehicle onto the hard shoulder or into a refuge if you can, get everyone out on the passenger side, and stand behind the barrier — then call. Don't stay in the car on a live carriageway.
Do you cover the villages as well as the town?
Yes, including the smaller lanes. If you're somewhere tight where a rig can't easily turn, tell us the exact spot — a what3words location or a postcode plus a landmark is ideal — and we'll plan the approach before we set off.
