Workplace & Staff Car Park Battery Replacement — Selly Oak
Staff vehicle dead at a Selly Oak workplace? We attend business sites and staff car parks, including shift changeover. Battery Replacement with card or invoic
A car that has sat all day in a staff car park with a boot light on or a dashcam wired to a permanent live will not start at five o'clock, and the whole shift-change car park empties around it.
If your battery in Selly Oak is more than 4 years old and keeps going flat, you're past jumpstart territory — you need a proper replacement, fitted and coded on your driveway.
The wrong battery in a stop-start car will show a warning light within days and drain itself trying to charge to spec. We fit the OEM chemistry every time.

Workplace callout questions
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.Do I really need OBD coding when the new battery goes in?
On post-2012 BMW, Audi, VW, Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot and Citroen — yes. Without coding, the alternator will overcharge the new battery and kill it in under a year.
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.
Q.Do you cover Selly Oak and the B29 area for this?
Yes. Selly Oak is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via A38 Bristol Road, roughly 3 miles from Birmingham. We cover it alongside Birmingham and the surrounding streets.
