- Alternator output tested at idle and at 2000 rpm before we leave, so we know the recharge will actually work

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.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.

No blind callout fee. You get a fixed price on the phone based on your postcode and vehicle before we set off — no surprises at the driveway.
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.

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.
