Roadside emergency questions
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 Rugeley and the WS15 area for this?
Yes. Rugeley is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via A51, roughly 6 miles from Cannock. We also cover the surrounding neighbourhoods on the same run.
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.Will you come out in bad weather?
Yes — snow, ice, heavy rain, we still go. Batteries fail more often in bad weather, not less.
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 Rugeley?
Roadside calls are prioritised. From our Oldbury base most Rugeley jobs are reached inside the hour, faster off-peak via A51.
