Workplace & Staff Car Park Van Jumpstart — Solihull
Staff vehicle dead at a Solihull 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.
Van won't turn over in Solihull? Nine times out of ten it isn't the starter — it's a tired leisure or main battery that can't hold cranking amps on a cold morning. We come out with a heavy-duty booster rated for diesel commercials.
Diesel vans need real cranking amps — a jump pack designed for cars won't spin a 2.0 or 2.2 diesel that's been standing cold. Our kit is spec'd for commercials.
Employers and staff we help
Shift workers whose cars have sat unused through a long shift.
Commercially, Solihull leans toward aerospace and airport services, which is where most of this work comes from locally.
Why workplace car parks generate calls
Solihull's aerospace and airport services employers run large staff car parks where vehicles sit unmoved for ten or twelve hours at a stretch.
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).

Access, timing and payment
- Payment can be taken from the employee by card or invoiced to the employer, decided at booking.
- Work is carried out in the bay with portable equipment, so vehicles do not need moving or towing.
- 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.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.
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 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.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.My van cranks slowly then dies — is that the battery?
Usually yes, but sometimes it's the starter drawing too much current or a bad earth. We test all three on the driveway before recommending a replacement.
