A dead Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro or Crafter on a B70 driveway usually isn't a garage job. A proper mobile jumpstart with a 2000A+ pack gets you running in minutes without a recovery truck.
Most van jumpstart jobs around West Bromwich come from the B70 and B71 postcode areas, plus the surrounding villages toward Oldbury.
Local context — West Bromwich
Sandwell borough town on the A41 spine between Birmingham and the M5. — 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.
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.
What's included on a van jumpstart in West Bromwich
- 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.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.
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.
