A dead Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro or Crafter on a DY1 driveway usually isn't a garage job. A proper mobile jumpstart with a 2000A+ pack gets you running in minutes without a recovery truck.
Dudley sits about 6 miles from Wolverhampton, and we cover both without minimum job values or postcode restrictions.
What's included on a van jumpstart in Dudley
- 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.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.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.
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.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.

General questions
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.
Q.Are you open 24/7?
Yes — genuine 24/7, including nights, weekends and bank holidays, at the same price as daytime. No unsociable-hours surcharge.
Q.What warranty comes with a new battery?
Tier-1 batteries with 2–4 year warranty depending on chemistry (standard flooded, EFB or AGM). Warranty is transferable and registered on the day.
