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.
- Genuine 24/7 — nights, weekends, Christmas Day, New Year — same price as daytime
- On a emergency jumpstart the equipment is matched to the vehicle — cranking current, terminal layout and battery location all change the approach.
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.Do you really answer at 3am?
Yes — a real person answers, not an out-of-hours message service. If we're on a job we call back within minutes.
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 Woodsetton?
Roadside calls are prioritised. From our Oldbury base most Woodsetton jobs are reached inside the hour, faster off-peak via A461.
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 Woodsetton and the DY1 area for this?
Yes. Woodsetton is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via A461, roughly 2 miles from Dudley. We cover it alongside Dudley and the surrounding streets.
