Broken Down On The Road In Edgbaston? Fast car jumpstart
Stopped at the roadside in Edgbaston? Priority car jumpstart with hazard-aware working near A38. 24/7 dispatch from Oldbury.
Roadside jobs are prioritised above driveway work for obvious reasons. The fix itself is often quicker than a home visit, because the aim is to get the vehicle to a safe place first and diagnose properly second.
If you're stuck with a flat battery anywhere from Birmingham to the centre of Edgbaston, we come to the vehicle, jump it properly and tell you whether the battery has life left or needs replacing.
Near Edgbaston Cricket Ground, we regularly cover car parks, driveways, kerbsides and residents-permit streets across the B15/B16 area.
Where roadside calls come from
If you are on a motorway carriageway or hard shoulder, that is a Highways England matter first — call 999 or use an emergency phone, then call us once you are safe.
Locally that means the streets between Edgbaston and Birmingham, with access via A38 and A456 and a practical radius reaching Birmingham (~2 mi) and Smethwick (~3 mi).

Roadside emergency questions
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.
Q.How fast can you reach a roadside job in Edgbaston?
Roadside calls are prioritised. From our Oldbury base most Edgbaston jobs are reached inside the hour, faster off-peak via A38.
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 Edgbaston and the B15 area for this?
Yes. Edgbaston is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via A38, roughly 2 miles from Birmingham. We cover it alongside Birmingham and the surrounding streets.
Q.Can you help if my key fob won't unlock the car?
Yes — that's usually the key battery, not the car. We carry common CR2032/CR2450 cells and can jumpstart via a physical key or the OBD port if needed.
Q.How long should I drive after a jumpstart?
Ideally 30–45 minutes of continuous driving, not stop-start town use. But if the battery is old and the alternator can't get it above 12.6V at rest, it'll go flat again in days.
