How we keep jobs to one visit
- If we are going to be late, you get a call — not silence.
- Roadside and safety-critical jobs are prioritised above routine bookings.
- 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.
What affects response time here
Off-peak and overnight runs into CV2 are noticeably quicker than the 8am and 5pm peaks — often half the time.
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).
Response time questions
Q.Do you carry batteries or come back later?
Stock is on the van, covering standard flooded, EFB and AGM in the common sizes, so most jobs complete on the first visit.
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.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.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.What is a realistic ETA for Walsgrave?
Typically 45–60 minutes in normal traffic, quicker off-peak, longer if we are mid-job when you call. You get an honest figure on the phone.
Q.Is there a fee for a faster response?
No priority surcharge. Emergency and roadside jobs are prioritised by risk, not by payment.

The short version
An accurate ETA and a van carrying the right battery is what turns a lost morning into a twenty-minute interruption. For van jumpstart specifically, that means battery voltage and cold-cranking amps measured with a proper midtronics-style tester, not a cheap voltmeter
