Edgbaston Roadside 24/7 Emergency Jumpstart — Priority Response
Roadside breakdown around B15? We prioritise live-traffic jobs. Fast 24/7 Emergency Jumpstart, no tow required in most cases.
Roads around Edgbaston carry heavy commuter flow, and a stalled vehicle in the wrong lane creates risk for everyone. That is why these callouts are dispatched differently.
Late shift, night out, early flight — batteries pick the worst moments to die. If you're stranded anywhere from B15 to the A38 we're on it round the clock.
We're based in Oldbury, minutes from the M5 and M6, so night response into Edgbaston is genuinely quick — no waiting until morning like some breakdown clubs.

How we work safely in traffic
- If the vehicle will not run reliably, we say so immediately rather than sending you back into traffic on a marginal start.
- On A-roads and dual carriageways the priority is a boost and a short relocation to a safe pull-in, with full testing done there.
- Priority triage for vulnerable situations: with children, elderly passengers, unsafe locations
- 24/7 Emergency Jumpstart work here is judged against the vehicle's own specification rather than a generic pass mark.

Roadside emergency questions
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.Is there a night surcharge?
No. Same price at 3am as at 3pm. We think surcharging people who are already stranded is bad business.
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.
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.
