Roadside emergency questions
Q.How fast can you reach a roadside job in Oldbury?
Roadside calls are prioritised. From our Oldbury base most Oldbury jobs are reached inside the hour, faster off-peak via M5 J2.
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 Oldbury and the B68 area for this?
Yes. Oldbury is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M5 J2, roughly 6 miles from Birmingham. We also cover the surrounding neighbourhoods on the same run.
Q.What's the difference between AGM and EFB?
AGM is a fully sealed absorbed-glass-mat battery for premium and stop-start; EFB is an enhanced flooded battery for entry-level stop-start. Fitting the wrong one is a warranty-void job.
Q.Will I lose my radio code and seat memory?
No — we use a 12V memory saver on the OBD port during the swap, so all adaptations and settings are preserved.
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.
