Trade Van Won't Start? Priority Van Jumpstart in Tile Hill
Tile Hill trade van callouts — Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro and Crafter. On-site Van Jumpstart with same-visit battery fitting and VAT invoices.
A van that will not start at 7am is a day's income, not an inconvenience. That changes the priority order and it changes the equipment — diesel cranking current is roughly double a petrol car's, and consumer jump packs simply cannot deliver it.
If your work van is stone dead around Tile Hill, don't book recovery yet. Most van no-starts near the M6 J2/J3 corridor are cured with a mobile jump and a proper alternator/battery health check on the driveway.
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.

Why working vans fail overnight
Vans stored outside on CV4 streets overnight lose more charge in winter than yard-stored vehicles, which is why the calls cluster at first light.
Locally that means the streets between Tile Hill and Coventry, with access via M6 J2/J3 and M69 and a practical radius reaching Coventry (~4 mi) and Nuneaton (~9 mi).
Kit that copes with diesel cranking
- Load from tail lifts, inverters and tracking units is factored into the battery specification recommended.
- Commercial battery stock covers the common Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro, Transporter and Crafter sizes.
- Alternator output tested at idle and at 2000 rpm before we leave, so we know the recharge will actually work
- On a van jumpstart the equipment is matched to the vehicle — cranking current, terminal layout and battery location all change the approach.

Trade van questions
Q.Can you invoice the business rather than take a card?
Yes. VAT invoices and account terms are available for trade customers, and repeat callers get set up once.
Q.Will a normal jump pack start a 2.2 diesel van?
Often not when it is genuinely flat. Diesel starters can draw 700–900 amps cold, which is why we carry commercial-grade packs.
Q.How early can you get to a van in Tile Hill?
We run overnight, so a 5am or 6am call is normal. Trade jobs before the first appointment are prioritised.
Q.Do you cover Tile Hill and the CV4 area for this?
Yes. Tile Hill is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M6 J2/J3, roughly 4 miles from Coventry. We cover it alongside Coventry and the surrounding streets.
Q.Do I need to register a new van battery to the ECU?
On Sprinters, Crafters, T6 Transporters and newer Custom Transits — yes. We carry the OBD tool and code it as part of the fit.
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.

The short version
Working vehicles need working answers: the right pack, the right battery size and an invoice the business can actually process. Either way you get the readings, the reasoning and a working vehicle before we leave.
