Jump Start Leicester
Mobile jump start service across Leicester. Fast, safe battery boosts for cars, vans and light 4x4s — day, night and weekends.
A flat battery is the most common breakdown in the UK, and cold winter mornings in Leicester make it even more common. MwR Recovery runs a dedicated mobile jump start service across every LE postcode, so you don't need to wait hours for a national breakdown club or take a chance with jump leads from a stranger.
We use professional lithium jump packs designed for modern vehicles, including stop-start, hybrid and diesel engines with high cranking requirements. Most jump starts are completed in under fifteen minutes from arrival.
What our jump start includes
When we arrive we don't just get the engine running and drive off. We check the battery voltage before and after the jump, test the charging system to make sure the alternator is doing its job, and inspect the terminals for corrosion or loose connections that might be causing the problem.
If the battery is genuinely at end-of-life, we'll advise you on replacement — either at your usual garage or, if you'd prefer, we can supply and fit a new battery on the spot for many popular vehicles.

Where we operate
We cover the whole of Leicester and Leicestershire — city centre, Highfields, Aylestone, Oadby, Wigston, Glenfield, Braunstone, Beaumont Leys, Syston, Birstall, Blaby, Enderby, Narborough, Hinckley, Loughborough, Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough.
We reach driveways, workplace car parks, supermarket bays and roadside breakdowns with equal ease. Multi-storey and underground car parks are fine — just tell us the height restriction when you call.
Why not just use jump leads?
Traditional jump leads can be risky with modern cars. Connecting to the wrong terminal, reverse polarity, or a voltage spike from a healthy donor vehicle can damage sensitive electronics and cause faults that cost hundreds to repair. Our lithium jump packs have built-in reverse-polarity, spark and overload protection, so your car's ECU stays safe.
Simple, honest pricing
We quote a flat local price on the phone before we dispatch. If we arrive and the fault turns out to be something other than the battery, we'll tell you honestly rather than pushing an unnecessary tow.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a jump start take?
Usually under 15 minutes from arrival, including testing the battery and charging system.
Do you carry replacement batteries?
We can supply and fit new batteries for most popular cars and vans on the spot.
Is jump starting safe for hybrid cars?
Yes, when done with the right equipment. Our lithium packs are designed for hybrid 12V systems and stop-start vehicles.
What if the jump doesn't hold?
Then the battery or alternator is likely failing. We'll test both and recommend the cheapest safe fix — sometimes just a new battery, sometimes a tow to a garage.
