Breakdown Recovery in Ashton-under-Lyne
Round-the-clock breakdown recovery means Ashton motorists don't face long waits. Experience counts with the variety of jobs here – overheating engines around the Ashton Moss leisure and retail area, gearbox failures near the market, or a car that won't move after a bump on the main roads into town. Knowing local traffic patterns, particularly on market days and at retail park peaks, helps us reach you faster. Cars, vans and 4x4s up to 2.7 tonnes go onto our flatbed transporter, so automatics travel with all four wheels off the road.

- M60 junction 23 at Ashton Moss
- Wellington Road through the town centre
- Mossley Road towards Hurst
- Katherine Street near the market
- Oldham Road out of the town centre

Ashton-under-Lyne breakdown recovery: FAQs
How quickly can you get to me in Ashton-under-Lyne?
Ashton is about five miles from our Higher Ardwick base, along the A635 or the M60. We are often with you within 30 minutes, though rush hour around junction 23 and Ikea can add time. We give you a realistic ETA when you call and keep you updated if it changes.
Will the price change once you arrive in Ashton?
No. Give us both postcodes, tell us what the vehicle is and whether it rolls, and we give you a fixed quote. Local jobs start from £50. The only time a price changes is if you change the job – a different drop-off, for example – and we agree that with you first.
Can you jumpstart a van at a business unit in Ashton or Dukinfield?
Yes. We jumpstart petrol and diesel engines up to 8,000cc, which covers most vans and 4x4s, at yards and business units as well as homes and car parks. If the battery won't hold a charge, we can recover the van to your garage or depot.
Do you move caravans and trailers from Ashton-under-Lyne?
Yes, as well as cars, vans and 4x4s up to 2.7 tonnes. Whether it's going into storage, to a dealer or to a repair shop, tell us where it's coming from and where it's going and we'll give you a fixed price before we book it in.
