Yes — we offer jump start support and car battery help as part of our roadside assistance, not only full car recovery. If your vehicle won’t start at home, work or on the roadside, we can attend for a safe jump start and basic checks, and in some cases arrange on-the-spot battery replacement. If the car still won’t run safely, we can then provide car recovery or towing service to your home, workplace or trusted garage.

To jump start a car safely, you must connect the jump leads in the correct order — positive to positive first, then negative to a solid metal earth point on the disabled vehicle, never the battery negative. Start the booster car, let it run for a minute, then try the vehicle with the flat battery. Once started, remove the leads in the reverse order. If the car doesn’t crank, clicks, or shows warning lights, stop immediately to avoid electrical damage. The safest option is to call London Auto Towing for jump start support or electric car recovery.
