How the service works for you
Supporting mixed fleets
If your fleet includes a mix of electric and combustion vehicles, we can support both under one call-out number, so you don't need a separate arrangement for each type.
Flat battery call-outs
Running out of charge away from a charger is one of the most common EV issues we see. Depending on the situation, we'll talk through whether recovery to the nearest suitable charge point makes sense, or a longer transport back to base.
Faults and warning lights
Electric vans and cars can throw up unfamiliar warnings that aren't always something the driver can safely diagnose. We'll help assess whether it's safe to continue or whether recovery is the sensible option.
Access and routing around Kings Heath
Same rota, same drivers, same 8-mile run every time. Neighbouring cover runs to Birmingham, Solihull, Edgbaston, all on the same rota. The result is an honest ETA rather than a comfortable one. We photograph condition on collection so there is no argument later about a kerbed wheel.
Questions from operators in Kings Heath
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Kings Heath?
Not always. For collections from conversion flats or a unit near Highbury Park periphery we can work with a key safe or a nominated contact, provided we have written authority and someone to receive the vehicle at the other end.
What if the vehicle is blocking A4040 outer ring?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near Kings Heath High Street is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
Can you take the vehicle to a garage outside Kings Heath?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Kings Heath itself or in Birmingham, but we will run further if that is where your repairer is. Give us the destination on the call so it is inside the quoted price.
Do you understand the loading differences for electric vehicles in Kings Heath?
Yes, we take care around the weight distribution and battery placement specific to EVs when loading.
Can you recover an EV that's run out of charge in Kings Heath?
Yes, we can recover a flat EV and discuss whether the nearest charge point or a return to base is more sensible.
What if the EV shows a warning light rather than a flat battery in Kings Heath?
We'll help assess whether it's safe to continue driving or whether recovery is the better option.

Kings Heath at a glance
Distance is the easy part — 8 miles. The variable is where the vehicle is standing: conversion flats, a yard at Highbury Park periphery, or the kerb on A435 Alcester Road. Tell us that and ev fleets becomes a fixed-price job. Which is why locals ring us rather than a national line. We confirm the drop address before leaving Kings Heath so nothing is decided kerbside. That approach is why Kings Heath repeat callers ask for the same driver. Second road option if A4040 outer ring is blocked: A435 Alcester Road.
