Licensed Vehicle Fleet & Business Jumpstart in Coundon — Minimal Downtime
Private hire vehicle down in Coundon? High-cycle duty needs EFB or AGM, not the cheapest battery. Fast fleet jumpstart with same-visit fitting.
Every hour off the road is measurable income, so the job is judged on turnaround as much as on diagnosis.
Fleets working out of the CV6 area — courier, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, letting agents — call us daily. We know your vans, we know your yard, we know when your first drop is.
Fleet vans die from parasitic drain more than anything — trackers, dashcams, tail-lifts, refrigeration. We identify the drain, not just recharge the battery.
The duty cycle behind the failures
Airport and station runs from CV6 mean long waits with the engine off and the cabin systems on — the exact conditions that flatten a marginal battery.
Locally that means the streets between Coundon and Coventry, with access via M6 J2/J3 and M69 and a practical radius reaching Coventry (~2 mi) and Nuneaton (~9 mi).
Specifying for high-cycle use
- Charging output is verified under full cabin load, not at idle with everything switched off.
- Accessory load from terminals, cameras and mounts is measured, since permanently-live wiring is common on hire vehicles.
- Single monthly invoice, VAT-compliant, per-vehicle breakdown ready for your fleet accountant
- On a fleet jumpstart the equipment is matched to the vehicle — cranking current, terminal layout and battery location all change the approach.

Private hire questions
Q.Do you cover Coundon and the CV6 area for this?
Yes. Coundon is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M6 J2/J3, roughly 2 miles from Coventry. We cover it alongside Coventry and the surrounding streets.
Q.What if a driver is stranded outside our depot?
That's what account customers get priority for — one call from the driver, we handle it and bill your account, no card payment at the roadside.
Q.Can you supply and fit batteries at trade price?
Yes — Yuasa, Varta, Bosch and Exide at proper trade rates for account customers, fitted on your yard with OBD coding included.
Q.Why does my taxi eat batteries faster than a private car?
Because it cycles far more. Fifty starts a day plus long idles with cabin load is several times the duty a standard battery is designed for.
Q.Is AGM worth the extra for a hire vehicle?
Usually yes. Under high cycling the longer service life normally outweighs the higher purchase price well before the second year.
Q.How fast can you turn a job around?
Hire vehicles are prioritised alongside trade vans. Most Coundon jobs are completed within the hour of arrival, often much less.
