Shirley Roadside 24/7 Emergency Jumpstart — Priority Response
Roadside breakdown around B90? We prioritise live-traffic jobs. Fast 24/7 Emergency Jumpstart, no tow required in most cases.
Roads around Shirley carry heavy commuter flow, and a stalled vehicle in the wrong lane creates risk for everyone. That is why these callouts are dispatched differently.
Late shift, night out, early flight — batteries pick the worst moments to die. If you're stranded anywhere from B90 to the M42 J4/J5 we're on it round the clock.
Off-peak, we don't queue behind a hundred other members. One call, one van, one job — you're not number 87 in a queue.
Where roadside calls come from
Common spots are the approaches to M42 J4/J5 and A34 Stratford Road, plus the junctions where traffic queues and engines get restarted repeatedly.
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).
Who needs priority response
Commuters and delivery drivers caught out on the main routes through Shirley.
Domestically, 1930s semis and retail-park units dominate around here, which shapes how these jobs are accessed and worked.

How we work safely in traffic
- Live-traffic jobs are dispatched ahead of routine bookings.
- If the vehicle will not run reliably, we say so immediately rather than sending you back into traffic on a marginal start.
- Genuine 24/7 — nights, weekends, Christmas Day, New Year — same price as daytime
- On a emergency jumpstart the equipment is matched to the vehicle — cranking current, terminal layout and battery location all change the approach.
Roadside emergency questions
Q.How fast can you reach a roadside job in Shirley?
Roadside calls are prioritised. From our Oldbury base most Shirley jobs are reached inside the hour, faster off-peak via M42 J4/J5.
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 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.I'm on my own and don't feel safe — can you stay on the phone?
Yes — we do this all the time. We'll stay on the line until we arrive, and you can share your live location if that helps.
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.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.
