Roadside Assistance

Quick Summary: Roadside assistance is an emergency vehicle support service for drivers whose cars or other vehicles cannot safely continue their journey because of a flat or weak battery, puncture, breakdown, electrical or mechanical fault, lost keys, or other roadside problems. Crown Car Recovery provides fast 24/7 roadside assistance across Greater London and surrounding areas, helping motorists at home, work, on the roadside, or after an unexpected breakdown. What does roadside assistance include? Services can include emergency car jump starts, 12V and 24V battery assistance, vehicle recovery, wheel and tyre support, mobile diagnostics, key-related assistance, and transportation when a vehicle cannot be repaired at the roadside. For example, if your car will not start outside your workplace because the battery has gone flat, you can call Crown Car Recovery on 0208 099 9244 and a trained roadside assistance team can come to your location, assess the problem, provide the appropriate assistance, and help you get safely back on the road or arrange recovery where required.

Quick Answer & Key Takeaways: When should you use roadside assistance? Roadside assistance is suitable for drivers, commuters, families, businesses, motorcycle riders, van drivers, 4×4 owners, and other motorists who experience an unexpected vehicle problem and need professional help without arranging a traditional garage visit first. Can roadside assistance help with a vehicle that will not start? Yes, depending on the cause, assistance may include battery support, jump starting, diagnostics, minor roadside solutions, or vehicle recovery. What if the vehicle cannot be fixed at the roadside? Recovery transportation can be arranged to move the vehicle safely to a suitable destination. Crown Car Recovery focuses on fast response, practical roadside support, and safe vehicle handling, making the service useful for breakdowns, flat batteries, punctures, electrical or mechanical issues, and other situations where continuing to drive may be unsafe. Key takeaway: if your vehicle has broken down or will not start, roadside assistance provides a convenient first-response solution by bringing professional help directly to your location and, when necessary, recovering the vehicle safely.

Crown Car Recovery has extensive experience in the Automotive industry. We are reliable, experienced, knowledgeable, and skilled. We are aware that there are numerous and various reasons why a vehicle refuses to start. We aim to get your vehicle started and onwards with your journey. We generally identify the cause of your battery failure and report back to you, during our visit, so you don’t have a repeat of this unplanned expenditure and inconvenient setback. We are qualified to test the condition of your battery and associated systems (i.e. alternator, starter motor) and narrow down the cause(s) and give you answers.

• Cold Weather

  This is the number one reason why car batteries die. Even at a mild 32 degrees celsius, a battery is 35% weaker. At 0 degrees celsius, it plummets to 60% weaker.

• Time

  Just like batteries in your TV remote, eventually, there isn’t power left to bring your battery back to life. An average car battery life span is between three to five years.

• Corrosion

  Battery acid is corrosive. This is one of the other reasons why car batteries repeatedly die due to corrosion at the connections. Check under the bonnet!

• Drain

  The car interior lights, side lights, etc have accidentally been left on and drained the battery. Human error is a common cause of battery failure and a top battery killer.

• Parasitic drain

  One of the most frequent parasites is a bad alternator. Car batteries rely on the alternator to recharge it. If your alternator isn’t regenerating, your battery will die.

When a car battery is weak even your interior lights can become a challenge to illuminate. Keep an eye out for symptoms that your battery may be losing power. If you notice your headlights dimming while your car idles or start/stop cars are difficult to start on occasion, these could be good indicators. A vehicle’s dashboard battery symbol may illuminate and appear once in a while too, whilst driving. To affirm that a battery is losing power, you can either test your battery yourself or ask Crown Car Recovery to assist. Some garages include this test as part of the annual service. It is obviously better to renew the battery when it is becoming weak, rather than be inconvenienced when your vehicle fails to start.
