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.
- Alternator output measured at idle and at load so you know if a 20-minute drive will actually refill the battery
- Car Jumpstart work here is judged against the vehicle's own specification rather than a generic pass mark.
Why workplace car parks generate calls
Shirley's aerospace and airport services employers run large staff car parks where vehicles sit unmoved for ten or twelve hours at a stretch.
Locally that means the streets between Shirley and Solihull, with access via M42 J4/J5 and A34 Stratford Road and a practical radius reaching Solihull (~2 mi) and Shirley (~2 mi).
Workplace callout questions
Q.Do you cover Shirley and the B90 area for this?
Yes. Shirley is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M42 J4/J5, roughly 2 miles from Solihull. We cover it alongside Solihull and the surrounding streets.
Q.Will jumpstarting damage my car's electronics?
Not with a proper lithium pack. The old risk with jump leads and a running donor car was voltage spikes — modern lithium packs are regulated and safe on any car including hybrids.
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.
