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.
- 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.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 Hamstead?
Roadside calls are prioritised. From our Oldbury base most Hamstead jobs are reached inside the hour, faster off-peak via M5 J1.
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 Hamstead and the B42 area for this?
Yes. Hamstead is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M5 J1, roughly 3 miles from West Bromwich. We cover it alongside West Bromwich 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.Do you really answer at 3am?
Yes — a real person answers, not an out-of-hours message service. If we're on a job we call back within minutes.
