No Click, No Crank? Fleet & Business Jumpstart, Shirley
Turn the key and get nothing at all in Shirley? Mobile fleet jumpstart with on-site voltage and load testing. 24/7 across B90. Call 07886 626640.
A car that makes no noise whatsoever is often assumed to be "totally dead", but the vehicle itself is usually fine. Nine times out of ten it is a battery that has dropped below the voltage needed to pull in the starter solenoid, which is exactly what a proper booster pack solves in seconds.
Fleets working out of the B90 area — courier, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, letting agents — call us daily. We know your vans, we know your yard, we know when your first drop is.
We invoice monthly with full PDF breakdown per vehicle — clean for accounts to file, VAT-compliant, no per-job card fiddling.
Similar jobs nearby
Recent job nearby: a hatchback on a B90 residential street, dead silent after three days parked. Resting voltage 9.1V, recovered on the boost pack, load test passed, owner advised to take a 30-minute run rather than buy a battery.
Recent job nearby: a saloon at a workplace car park close to M42 J4/J5, no crank at all. Battery held 12.6V at rest but collapsed to 5.8V under load — replaced on-site during the same visit.
What we measure before touching the leads
- Earth straps and the main positive feed are checked for corrosion, because a bad earth mimics a dead battery exactly.
- A load test shows whether the battery collapses under cranking current; a cell that dumps to 6V under load will not survive another cold night even if it starts today.
- Parasitic drain diagnostics standard — trackers, dashcams, refrigeration, tail-lifts, aftermarket wiring
- Fleet & Business Jumpstart work here is judged against the vehicle's own specification rather than a generic pass mark.
When a car goes completely silent
Callouts for total silence cluster around residential streets in B90 where cars sit unused between short journeys, and around workplaces where a vehicle has sat all day with an accessory draw.
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).
Questions about no-crank starts
Q.Will a fleet jumpstart definitely fix a completely silent car?
It fixes it if the battery is the cause, which covers most cases. If the car stays silent on a boost pack, the fault is electrical — starter, ignition switch or earth — and we tell you that on-site rather than jumping repeatedly.
Q.Should I just replace the battery straight away?
Not until it has been load tested. A battery that has simply been drained by a light will often recover fully; one with a dead cell will not, and the test tells the difference in under a minute.
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.Can you supply and fit batteries at trade price?
Yes — Yuasa, Varta, Bosch and Exide at proper trade rates for account customers, fitted on your yard with OBD coding included.
Q.What if a driver is stranded outside our depot?
That's what account customers get priority for — one call from the driver, we handle it and bill your account, no card payment at the roadside.
Q.Why does my car make no sound at all when I turn the key?
Almost always a battery too flat to energise the starter solenoid, or a corroded earth. Dash lights can still glow faintly and the car still be too low to crank.
Who calls us about this

The short version
Total silence at the key is a voltage problem far more often than a mechanical one. Test, boost, re-test, and only replace the battery if the numbers justify it — that is the whole job, usually inside an hour in Shirley. For fleet jumpstart specifically, that means bulk battery pricing — replacement agm/efb batteries at trade rates, not retail
