Broken Down On The Road In Solihull? Fast emergency jumpstart
Stopped at the roadside in Solihull? Priority emergency jumpstart with hazard-aware working near M42 J4/J5. 24/7 dispatch from Oldbury.
Roadside jobs are prioritised above driveway work for obvious reasons. The fix itself is often quicker than a home visit, because the aim is to get the vehicle to a safe place first and diagnose properly second.
Emergency jumpstart cover across Solihull — Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, 4am on a Tuesday, we answer the phone and dispatch straight from Oldbury.
We're based in Oldbury, minutes from the M5 and M6, so night response into Solihull is genuinely quick — no waiting until morning like some breakdown clubs.
Where roadside calls come from
If you are on a motorway carriageway or hard shoulder, that is a Highways England matter first — call 999 or use an emergency phone, then call us once you are safe.
Locally that means Solihull itself plus the neighbourhoods that feed into it, with access via M42 J4/J5 and A34 Stratford Road and a practical radius reaching Shirley (~2 mi) and Olton (~2 mi).
How we work safely in traffic
- Engineers arrive in high-visibility PPE with warning beacons and cones appropriate to the road type.
- Live-traffic jobs are dispatched ahead of routine bookings.
- One dispatcher, one van, one price — no third-party contractor markup like breakdown clubs use
- 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.Do you cover Solihull and the B90 area for this?
Yes. Solihull is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M42 J4/J5, roughly 8 miles from Birmingham. We also cover the surrounding neighbourhoods on the same run.
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 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.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.
Q.How fast can you reach a roadside job in Solihull?
Roadside calls are prioritised. From our Oldbury base most Solihull 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.
