A dead Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro or Crafter on a B64 driveway usually isn't a garage job. A proper mobile jumpstart with a 2000A+ pack gets you running in minutes without a recovery truck.
Cradley Heath sits about 2 miles from Halesowen, and we cover both without minimum job values or postcode restrictions.

What's included on a van jumpstart in Cradley Heath
- Heavy-duty 2000A+ lithium jump pack rated for diesel commercials up to 7.5t
- Alternator output tested at idle and at 2000 rpm before we leave, so we know the recharge will actually work
- Battery voltage and cold-cranking amps measured with a proper Midtronics-style tester, not a cheap voltmeter
- We check tail-lift, refrigeration, dashcam and tracker draw for parasitic drain that kills fleet batteries
- AGM and EFB stop-start vans handled correctly — no fitting a standard flooded battery in an AGM slot
- Battery registration/coding done on the OBD for vans that need it (Sprinter, Crafter, T6, Custom)
Van Jumpstart — common questions
Q.Do I need to register a new van battery to the ECU?
On Sprinters, Crafters, T6 Transporters and newer Custom Transits — yes. We carry the OBD tool and code it as part of the fit.
Q.Can you jumpstart a large diesel van?
Yes — our packs are rated for LCVs and small trucks up to around 7.5 tonnes. A booster designed for petrol cars won't do it; ours will.
Q.Can you invoice a fleet directly?
Yes — 30-day account terms and single monthly invoice for multi-vehicle operators. Just send us the fleet list.
Q.My van cranks slowly then dies — is that the battery?
Usually yes, but sometimes it's the starter drawing too much current or a bad earth. We test all three on the driveway before recommending a replacement.
Local context — Cradley Heath
Diesel vans need real cranking amps — a jump pack designed for cars won't spin a 2.0 or 2.2 diesel that's been standing cold. Our kit is spec'd for commercials.
We cover the B64 area regularly for trade customers running Ford Transits, Mercedes Sprinters, VW Transporters, Vauxhall Vivaros, Renault Trafics and Peugeot Boxers.

Q.How quickly can you get to me?
Typically 45–60 minutes across the West Midlands from our Oldbury base — faster off-peak and at night when the roads are empty.
Q.Can you help if I'm not with the car?
Sometimes — a driveway job with keys posted through the letterbox works. For car parks and depots we need someone at the vehicle for keys and payment.
