Broken Down On The Road In Knowle? Fast emergency jumpstart
Roadside breakdown around B93? We prioritise live-traffic jobs. Fast 24/7 Emergency Jumpstart, no tow required in most cases.
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.
Late shift, night out, early flight — batteries pick the worst moments to die. If you're stranded anywhere from B93 to the M42 J4/J5 we're on it round the clock.
Emergency calls are logged, timestamped and priced up-front. What you pay at 4am is what you'd pay at 4pm — no exploitation.

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.
- Card, contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay accepted on the driveway — no cash-only surprise
- Every emergency jumpstart finishes with a charging-system reading, so the same fault does not reappear next week.
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 Knowle and Solihull, with access via M42 J4/J5 and A34 Stratford Road and a practical radius reaching Solihull (~4 mi) and Shirley (~2 mi).

Roadside emergency questions
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.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 Knowle?
Roadside calls are prioritised. From our Oldbury base most Knowle 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 Knowle and the B93 area for this?
Yes. Knowle is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M42 J4/J5, roughly 4 miles from Solihull. We cover it alongside Solihull and the surrounding streets.
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.
