Berkshire · open 24/7
Bracknell is one of the closest towns to our Reading base, roughly 11 miles along the A329(M). If your car will not start at home, at work or in a town-centre car park, call us and, subject to availability, a technician will come to you with a jump pack.
Being a short run down the A329(M) from Reading means Bracknell is often one of the more practical places for us to reach. We still check availability on every call, because a busy night or an accident on the motorway can change things quickly, and we would rather give you an honest estimate than a hopeful one.
Bracknell was planned as a new town, so many homes sit in estates with garage courts, shared bays and allocated spaces, and the roads are linked by a long chain of roundabouts. Lots of people also drive a short distance to an office on one of the business areas and back again. Short trips like that are hard work for a battery, especially once the clocks go back.
Where cars let people down
Cars left for an afternoon or an evening in the multi-storeys serving The Lexicon can struggle if the battery was already weak. Tell us which car park you are in, the level and a nearby lift or stairwell so the technician can head straight to you.
Bracknell has a lot of office buildings and units around the Western and Southern Industrial Areas. Cars that sit in the staff car park all day, often with a phone charger or dash camera still plugged in, can be flat by home time.
On estates such as Jennett's Park, Warfield or Great Hollands, cars are often parked nose-first in a garage or tucked into a tight allocated space. A jump pack only needs access to your battery or jump points, but tell us how the car is parked so we know what to expect.
If a car dies on one of the town's many roundabouts, it is stressful and exposed. Put your hazard lights on, get everyone out to a safe spot away from the traffic, and then call us. If the car is causing a danger to other drivers, call the police on 999.
An electric car can have plenty of charge in the main battery and still refuse to switch on because its small 12V battery is flat. Where the manufacturer allows it, we can boost the 12V battery so the car powers up again.
Services
Our core service for Bracknell drivers. The technician connects a professional jump pack to your car, restarts it and checks the battery and charging system, so you know whether the problem is likely to come back.
More about jump start serviceIf the battery is clearly failing, we talk you through what your car needs. Where we have a suitable battery with us, we can fit it at your home or workplace and test the start before we leave.
More about car battery replacementIf the car still will not run, or the problem is not electrical, we can help arrange recovery to a Bracknell garage, your home or another address you choose.
More about breakdown recoveryIf you are not sure what is wrong, tell us what the car is doing and which warning lights are on. We will be honest about whether it sounds like something we can deal with on the spot.
More about roadside assistanceTell us where you are, the vehicle and what happens when you try to start it.
We confirm the price and give you a realistic arrival estimate before anyone sets off.

Coverage
Subject to availability, we can attend the town centre and the neighbourhoods around it, including Easthampstead, Great Hollands, Hanworth, Birch Hill, Crown Wood, Harmans Water, Bullbrook, Priestwood, Wildridings and Martins Heron.
We also take calls from Binfield, Warfield, Jennett's Park and Winkfield Row. From Reading we usually arrive along the A329(M), and we also use the A322 towards Bagshot and the M3, the A3095 towards Crowthorne and the A329 towards Ascot. If you are near the edge of town, give us your postcode and we will confirm whether we can reach you.
No surprises
The price depends on where you are, the time of day and your vehicle. We tell you the price on the phone and confirm it before any work starts.
Bracknell is close to our base, but closeness alone does not guarantee a quick arrival. The A329(M) can back up at rush hour, and we may already be on another job. We check both when you call and give you a realistic estimate before a technician sets off.
