Shirley Fleet Battery Support & Fleet & Business Jumpstart
Running vehicles from a Shirley depot? Scheduled battery health checks stop morning no-starts. Fleet & Business Jumpstart with fleet terms.
Depot work runs to a different rhythm — batch testing between shifts, overnight visits, and reporting that a transport manager can actually use.
Business account jumpstart and battery replacement across Shirley — priority response, single monthly invoice, no per-job admin, no chasing drivers for card payments.
Fleet vans die from parasitic drain more than anything — trackers, dashcams, tail-lifts, refrigeration. We identify the drain, not just recharge the battery.
Operators we support
Transport and facilities managers running vehicles from Shirley and the wider Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council area.
Commercially, Shirley leans toward aerospace and airport services, which is where most of this work comes from locally.
Depot patterns we see
Shirley's aerospace and airport services activity means depots, yards and shared compounds where several vehicles sit unused over weekends.
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).
Recent fleet work nearby
Recent job nearby: a 26-vehicle depot near Shirley batch tested in one evening. Five batteries graded "replace" and swapped before Monday, with no morning no-starts that quarter.
Recent job nearby: a courier operator off M42 J4/J5 with recurring Monday failures — traced to weekend tracker drain across the fleet rather than battery age.
Batch testing and grading
- Out-of-hours depot visits avoid taking vehicles off the road during operating hours.
- Mixed fleets are handled: car-derived vans, 3.5t panel vans, tippers and welfare units all take different specifications.
- Vehicle register held on file — one call gives us the reg, spec, battery history and yard location
- Fleet & Business Jumpstart work here is judged against the vehicle's own specification rather than a generic pass mark.

Fleet and account questions
Q.Do you offer account terms?
Yes — account invoicing, consolidated monthly billing and named contact dispatch for fleet customers.
Q.Can you attend outside operating hours?
Overnight and weekend depot visits are standard for fleet work, precisely so vehicles are not pulled out of service.
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.Do you do preventative fleet audits?
Yes — quarterly on-site checks: voltage, load test, alternator output, terminal condition on every vehicle. Reports emailed to your fleet manager.
Q.How do we open a business account?
One phone call and a fleet list. First job on account can go the same day; formal terms confirmed by email overnight.
Q.Can you test a whole fleet in one visit?
Yes. Batch testing is quick per vehicle and produces a written grading for each one, so replacements can be planned across a budget cycle.
