Workplace & Staff Car Park Van Jumpstart — Shirley
Staff vehicle dead at a Shirley workplace? We attend business sites and staff car parks, including shift changeover. Van Jumpstart with card or invoice.
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.
Commercial vans park up cold overnight in Shirley and refuse to start when the temperature drops. That's parasitic drain plus an ageing battery — a jumpstart on the spot beats a tow every time.
Long-high-street suburb on the A34 north of Solihull. — that means a mix of tight residential streets and industrial estates, and we're set up to work in both without needing a low-loader.
Access, timing and payment
- Multiple vehicles at the same site are handled in one visit where the timing allows.
- Payment can be taken from the employee by card or invoiced to the employer, decided at booking.
- AGM and EFB stop-start vans handled correctly — no fitting a standard flooded battery in an AGM slot
- Every van jumpstart finishes with a charging-system reading, so the same fault does not reappear next week.

Workplace callout questions
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 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 jumpstart a large diesel van?
Yes — our packs are rated for LCVs and small trucks up to around 7.5 tonnes. A booster designed for petrol cars won't do it; ours will.
Q.What if the van battery keeps going flat every week?
That's parasitic drain — usually a dashcam, tracker or aftermarket electrics wired to permanent live. We do a milliamp draw test and identify the circuit.
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.
