Hybrid fault · Curdworth B76
Hybrid fault in Curdworth? Here is how we deal with it
If hybrid fault has stopped you in B76, the practical questions are how far the vehicle has to travel, where it is going, and what it is standing on. From Curdworth that is typically a short run inside Warwickshire. Because Minworth is next door, a job in Curdworth often pairs with one there on the same shift. Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the North Warwickshire Borough Council area. Minworth is the nearest larger centre, which is where a lot of Curdworth drops end up. Gated yards at the Kingsbury Road corridor often have a height barrier; a gate code saves ten minutes.

Hybrid systems combine a conventional engine with an electric motor and battery pack, and when the hybrid battery or its management system develops a fault, the car often responds by limiting power, disabling electric-only driving, or in some cases refusing to start at all as a safety precaution.
Curdworth in practical terms
The commercial spine of Curdworth runs through Curdworth industrial park, with M42 Junction 9 as the obvious landmark. If you can name either when you ring, the dispatcher can place you inside B76 immediately and brief the driver on the approach.
Why it happens
Typical warning signs
A hybrid system warning light, a noticeable drop in fuel economy, reduced acceleration, the car running only on the petrol engine when it should be able to use electric power, or in more serious cases the car refusing to start at all, can all indicate a hybrid battery or control module fault.
Why we don't attempt repairs on scene
The high-voltage system in a hybrid operates at levels that require specific training and insulated equipment to work on safely. We won't attempt to open up or test the high-voltage battery at the roadside — our role is to safely check whether it's a simple 12V issue first, and if not, recover the car to the right specialist.
Getting the right diagnosis
Because hybrid systems vary significantly between manufacturers, we'd generally recommend recovery to a dealer or a garage that specifically advertises hybrid and EV expertise, rather than a general mechanic without the right diagnostic tools for the high-voltage system.
Getting a truck to you in Curdworth
If you can see Curdworth Locks from where you are standing, the driver already knows the approach. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck. Building stock here is mainly logistics warehousing, with village housing on the edges. Fuel type matters before we tow: EVs and hybrids from B76 go on the deck, not on a rope.

Curdworth questions
Will a normal garage be able to fix this in Curdworth?
Not always — hybrid high-voltage systems often need manufacturer-specific tools, so a dealer or hybrid specialist is usually the better choice.
Can you get a transporter into Curdworth industrial park?
Usually yes, but tell us the unit and gate before we set off. Some yards around Curdworth industrial park have height barriers or a tight turning circle, in which case we bring the spec-lift and winch out to the access road instead.
Could this just be the small 12V battery rather than the hybrid battery in Curdworth?
Quite possibly — it's a common cause of hybrid no-starts and warning lights, and we can check this on scene before assuming it's the main hybrid battery.
Can you repair the hybrid battery at the roadside in Curdworth?
No, this needs specialist high-voltage equipment and training, so we'll recover your car to a dealer or hybrid specialist instead.
Is Curdworth closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 15 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 10 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.

We quote a flat figure on the phone based on the actual distance, the vehicle and the access. At roughly 15 miles from base, Curdworth is a local job — no per-mile meter, no call-out fee bolted on afterwards.
