How we keep jobs to one visit
- ETAs are given from the engineer's actual position, not from a call centre average.
- If we are going to be late, you get a call — not silence.
- Parasitic drain diagnostics standard — trackers, dashcams, refrigeration, tail-lifts, aftermarket wiring
- Fleet & Business Jumpstart work here is judged against the vehicle's own specification rather than a generic pass mark.

Response time questions
Q.What is a realistic ETA for Dorridge?
Typically 45–60 minutes in normal traffic, quicker off-peak, longer if we are mid-job when you call. You get an honest figure on the phone.
Q.Is there a fee for a faster response?
No priority surcharge. Emergency and roadside jobs are prioritised by risk, not by payment.
Q.Do you carry batteries or come back later?
Stock is on the van, covering standard flooded, EFB and AGM in the common sizes, so most jobs complete on the first visit.
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.Can drivers call directly?
Yes — we tag your account against your fleet's registered numbers so drivers don't need to authorise every call, and admin still sees one invoice.
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.
