We invoice monthly with full PDF breakdown per vehicle — clean for accounts to file, VAT-compliant, no per-job card fiddling.

Specifying for high-cycle use
- Charging output is verified under full cabin load, not at idle with everything switched off.
- Accessory load from terminals, cameras and mounts is measured, since permanently-live wiring is common on hire vehicles.
- Bulk battery pricing — replacement AGM/EFB batteries at trade rates, not retail
- Every fleet jumpstart finishes with a charging-system reading, so the same fault does not reappear next week.
The duty cycle behind the failures
Walsgrave sits within easy reach of Coventry, so local hire drivers cover a wide radius with a lot of short-hop, high-start work.
Locally that means the streets between Walsgrave and Coventry, with access via M6 J2/J3 and M69 and a practical radius reaching Coventry (~3 mi) and Nuneaton (~9 mi).
Private hire questions
Q.Do you cover Walsgrave and the CV2 area for this?
Yes. Walsgrave is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M6 J2/J3, roughly 3 miles from Coventry. We cover it alongside Coventry 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.How do we open a business account?
One phone call and a fleet list. First job on account can go the same day; formal terms confirmed by email overnight.
Q.Why does my taxi eat batteries faster than a private car?
Because it cycles far more. Fifty starts a day plus long idles with cabin load is several times the duty a standard battery is designed for.
Q.Is AGM worth the extra for a hire vehicle?
Usually yes. Under high cycling the longer service life normally outweighs the higher purchase price well before the second year.
Q.How fast can you turn a job around?
Hire vehicles are prioritised alongside trade vans. Most Walsgrave jobs are completed within the hour of arrival, often much less.
