Professional van jump start service. Battery diagnostics included. All van types. 24/7.
Jump Start Service London
A flat battery is one of the most common causes of van breakdown, especially during cold weather or if you have not driven for a while. Our jump start service gets you back on the road in minutes using professional-grade jump packs far more powerful than standard jump leads.
We do not just jump start your van — we also perform a free battery and alternator diagnostic check to identify any underlying problems. Our digital analyser tests cranking amps, voltage under load, and alternator output so you know exactly what condition your battery is in.
If your battery is beyond saving, we can advise on the best replacement options and arrange a mobile battery fitting service. We carry a range of van batteries and can supply and fit a new one on the spot in most cases.
Our jump start equipment is suitable for all van types including diesel engines up to 3.5 tonnes. We can handle both 12V and 24V systems, including stop-start batteries found in modern vans. Our lithium-ion packs deliver up to 2000 peak amps with surge protection.
Available 24/7 across all London boroughs. Most jump starts are completed within 15 minutes. We also test your alternator output to ensure the charging system is working correctly, helping you avoid another flat battery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a jump start take?
Most jump starts are completed within 15 minutes. Our technician will also perform a free battery and alternator diagnostic check during the visit.
Can you jump start any van?
Yes. Our professional-grade jump packs handle all van types up to 3.5 tonnes, including diesel engines and stop-start battery systems. We carry both 12V and 24V equipment.
What if my battery needs replacing?
If your battery is beyond saving, we can arrange a mobile battery fitting service and replace it on the spot. We carry a range of common van batteries in our service vehicles.
Will a jump start fix my alternator problem?
A jump start will get your engine running, but it will not fix a faulty alternator. Our diagnostic check will identify if your alternator is the issue, and we can advise you on next steps.
