Where roadside calls come from
Common spots are the approaches to M42 J4/J5 and A34 Stratford Road, plus the junctions where traffic queues and engines get restarted repeatedly.
Locally that means the streets between Dorridge and Solihull, with access via M42 J4/J5 and A34 Stratford Road and a practical radius reaching Solihull (~5 mi) and Shirley (~2 mi).
How we work safely in traffic
- Engineers arrive in high-visibility PPE with warning beacons and cones appropriate to the road type.
- Live-traffic jobs are dispatched ahead of routine bookings.
- One dispatcher, one van, one price — no third-party contractor markup like breakdown clubs use
- On a emergency jumpstart the equipment is matched to the vehicle — cranking current, terminal layout and battery location all change the approach.

Roadside emergency questions
Q.How fast can you reach a roadside job in Dorridge?
Roadside calls are prioritised. From our Oldbury base most Dorridge jobs are reached inside the hour, faster off-peak via M42 J4/J5.
Q.Will you tow me if it won't start?
We are a mobile battery and starting specialist, not a recovery operator. If the fault is beyond a battery we tell you straight away so recovery can be arranged without wasted time.
Q.Do you cover Dorridge and the B93 area for this?
Yes. Dorridge is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M42 J4/J5, roughly 5 miles from Solihull. We cover it alongside Solihull and the surrounding streets.
Q.What if my car is in a locked car park overnight?
Tell us on the call — usually a security guard or manager can let us in. We've done this in NCPs, hospital car parks and industrial estates dozens of times.
Q.Will you come out in bad weather?
Yes — snow, ice, heavy rain, we still go. Batteries fail more often in bad weather, not less.
Q.I'm on a live carriageway — what should I do first?
Get everyone out on the nearside and behind a barrier if it is safe, hazards on, and call the emergency services if you are on a motorway. Then call us.
