Access, timing and payment
- Work is carried out in the bay with portable equipment, so vehicles do not need moving or towing.
- Site access requirements, permits and barrier arrangements are agreed on the phone before dispatch.
- Battery registration via OBD for BMW, Audi, VW, Mercedes, Ford, Vauxhall and Peugeot/Citroen where required
- Every car jumpstart finishes with a charging-system reading, so the same fault does not reappear next week.
Why workplace car parks generate calls
Ladywood's food manufacturing and distribution employers run large staff car parks where vehicles sit unmoved for ten or twelve hours at a stretch.
Locally that means the streets between Ladywood and Smethwick, with access via M5 J1/J2 and A457 and a practical radius reaching Smethwick (~2 mi) and Bearwood (~1 mi).
Workplace callout questions
Q.Do you cover Ladywood and the B16 area for this?
Yes. Ladywood is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M5 J1/J2, roughly 2 miles from Smethwick. We cover it alongside Smethwick 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.
Q.Can the employer pay rather than the employee?
Yes. Tell us at booking and we invoice the business rather than taking a card at the vehicle.
Q.Do you need a site induction?
For most car parks, no. For secure or industrial sites we will follow whatever access process you have — just tell us in advance.
Q.Can you attend at shift changeover?
Yes, including evening and overnight handovers. That is when most of these calls come in.
