Every hour off the road is measurable income, so the job is judged on turnaround as much as on diagnosis.

Business account jumpstart and battery replacement across Marston Green — priority response, single monthly invoice, no per-job admin, no chasing drivers for card payments.

Fleet vans die from parasitic drain more than anything — trackers, dashcams, tail-lifts, refrigeration. We identify the drain, not just recharge the battery.

Specifying for high-cycle use

  • Accessory load from terminals, cameras and mounts is measured, since permanently-live wiring is common on hire vehicles.
  • EFB and AGM units are recommended for high-cycle duty because they tolerate repeated partial discharge far better than standard flooded batteries.
  • Vehicle register held on file — one call gives us the reg, spec, battery history and yard location
  • Fleet & Business Jumpstart work here is judged against the vehicle's own specification rather than a generic pass mark.

The duty cycle behind the failures

Private hire questions

Q.Can drivers call directly?

Yes — we tag your account against your fleet's registered numbers so drivers don't need to authorise every call, and admin still sees one invoice.

Q.Do you do preventative fleet audits?

Yes — quarterly on-site checks: voltage, load test, alternator output, terminal condition on every vehicle. Reports emailed to your fleet manager.

Q.Why does my taxi eat batteries faster than a private car?

Because it cycles far more. Fifty starts a day plus long idles with cabin load is several times the duty a standard battery is designed for.

Q.Is AGM worth the extra for a hire vehicle?

Usually yes. Under high cycling the longer service life normally outweighs the higher purchase price well before the second year.

Q.How fast can you turn a job around?

Hire vehicles are prioritised alongside trade vans. Most Marston Green jobs are completed within the hour of arrival, often much less.

Q.Do you cover Marston Green and the B37 area for this?

Yes. Marston Green is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M42 J4/J5, roughly 3 miles from Solihull. We cover it alongside Solihull and the surrounding streets.

Why this is safe to book

  • Advice given on accessory wiring, which is often the real cause of repeat failure on hire vehicles.
  • Old batteries removed and recycled on every fleet jumpstart.

The short version

Hire vehicles fail batteries through cycling, not age. Fit the right chemistry and fix the accessory wiring and the problem stops recurring — usually inside one visit in Marston Green. If you would rather plan it than react to it, a fleet jumpstart can be booked for a time that suits.
