A dead Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro or Crafter on a B68 driveway usually isn't a garage job. A proper mobile jumpstart with a 2000A+ pack gets you running in minutes without a recovery truck.
We work all across Oldbury — driveways, kerbside on residential streets, council car parks, retail parks (including near Sandwell Council House), and industrial units.
Local context — Oldbury
Around Oldbury the common jobs are morning no-starts on the yard, lunch-break dead batteries at customer sites, and end-of-day flatlines after tail-lift or refrigeration use.
Home base for Jumpstart Near Me — a Sandwell junction town on the M5 with dense industrial estates. — that means a mix of tight residential streets and industrial estates, and we're set up to work in both without needing a low-loader.
What's included on a van jumpstart in Oldbury
- 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 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.
Q.What if the van battery keeps going flat every week?
That's parasitic drain — usually a dashcam, tracker or aftermarket electrics wired to permanent live. We do a milliamp draw test and identify the circuit.
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.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.
Q.Are you insured?
Yes — fully insured with public liability and goods-in-transit on every callout and every battery we fit.
Q.Can you help if I'm not with the car?
