Dead Car At Work in Cradley Heath? On-Site van jumpstart
Employer-arranged van jumpstart across Cradley Heath. Fast on-site attendance so staff are not stranded after a shift. 24/7 dispatch.
Employers increasingly arrange these callouts directly. It costs very little, resolves in under an hour and avoids an employee waiting three hours for a breakdown provider after a twelve-hour shift.
If your work van is stone dead around Cradley Heath, don't book recovery yet. Most van no-starts near the A459 corridor are cured with a mobile jump and a proper alternator/battery health check on the driveway.
We cover the B64 area regularly for trade customers running Ford Transits, Mercedes Sprinters, VW Transporters, Vauxhall Vivaros, Renault Trafics and Peugeot Boxers.

Access, timing and payment
- Site access requirements, permits and barrier arrangements are agreed on the phone before dispatch.
- Multiple vehicles at the same site are handled in one visit where the timing allows.
- AGM and EFB stop-start vans handled correctly — no fitting a standard flooded battery in an AGM slot
- Every van jumpstart finishes with a charging-system reading, so the same fault does not reappear next week.
Why workplace car parks generate calls
Sites near A459 are straightforward for us to reach at shift changeover, including evening and night handovers.

Workplace callout questions
Q.Do you need a site induction?
For most car parks, no. For secure or industrial sites we will follow whatever access process you have — just tell us in advance.
Q.Can you attend at shift changeover?
Yes, including evening and overnight handovers. That is when most of these calls come in.
Q.Do you cover Cradley Heath and the B64 area for this?
Yes. Cradley Heath is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via A459, roughly 2 miles from Halesowen. We also cover the surrounding neighbourhoods on the same run.
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.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.
Q.Can the employer pay rather than the employee?
Yes. Tell us at booking and we invoice the business rather than taking a card at the vehicle.
