Battery Jump Start on the M42
A flat battery is the single most common motorway call-out we attend. Our drivers carry professional, surge-protected boosters that start large diesels without risking the electronics, then test the battery and alternator so you know whether it is likely to happen again, and can fit a replacement on the spot if needed.
The M42 runs 40 miles from Bromsgrove (M5) to Ashby-de-la-Zouch (A42) through Worcestershire, West Midlands, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, with 14 junctions and service stations at Tamworth. Extremely busy between Junctions 3A and 7A, particularly during NEC events and Birmingham Airport peak times; this section frequently operates under smart motorway managed speeds. Wherever your vehicle stops along that route, our nearest jump start driver is dispatched from Solihull to reach you fast.

M42 recovery overviewWhat Our Customers Say
“Broke down at 11pm on the M25 near the Wisley interchange. Called these guys and they had a recovery truck with me in under 40 minutes. Professional, friendly, and the price was exactly what they quoted on the phone. Genuinely saved my night.”
“Ran out of diesel like an idiot between Luton and Milton Keynes on the M1. Pulled onto the hard shoulder near Junction 10 and called them. They delivered 10 litres of diesel within the hour and even checked my tyre pressures while they were there. No judgement, just helpful.”
“My van broke down fully loaded heading north on the M6 past Stoke. Other companies quoted ridiculous prices or said they could not do it until morning. These guys came out at 2am with a flatbed and sorted everything. Will not use anyone else.”
