Emergency jumpstart cover across Wollaston — Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, 4am on a Tuesday, we answer the phone and dispatch straight from Oldbury.

How we work safely in traffic
- Live-traffic jobs are dispatched ahead of routine bookings.
- If the vehicle will not run reliably, we say so immediately rather than sending you back into traffic on a marginal start.
- Roadside safety kit on board — high-viz, warning triangles, torches, portable jump pack
- Every emergency jumpstart finishes with a charging-system reading, so the same fault does not reappear next week.

Roadside emergency questions
Q.Is there a night surcharge?
No. Same price at 3am as at 3pm. We think surcharging people who are already stranded is bad business.
Q.Will you come out in bad weather?
Yes — snow, ice, heavy rain, we still go. Batteries fail more often in bad weather, not less.
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 Wollaston?
Roadside calls are prioritised. From our Oldbury base most Wollaston jobs are reached inside the hour, faster off-peak via A491.
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.
Q.Do you cover Wollaston and the DY8 area for this?
Yes. Wollaston is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via A491, roughly 1 miles from Stourbridge. We cover it alongside Stourbridge and the surrounding streets.
