Blackley runs from the edge of Heaton Park across to Charlestown, and our recovery truck covers all of it, at any hour of the day or night. From our base in Higher Ardwick it is a little over three miles to M9, which usually means we can be with you in about 30 minutes. Call 0161 327 4329, or send a WhatsApp with a pin of your location and a short description of the problem. We will tell you when to expect us and what it will cost before we set off, so you are not left guessing at the side of the road.
Blackley sits right by the M60, with junctions 19 and 20 feeding traffic onto Middleton Road and Rochdale Road. We provide motorway breakdown recovery as well as help on residential streets. Our flatbed handles cars, vans and 4x4s up to 2.7 tonnes, local jobs start from £50, and the fixed quote you get once we know both postcodes is what you pay. We have been driving and recovering vehicles professionally for more than 12 years, If you are not sure whether you need a jump or a tow, describe what the car is doing and we will tell you which is more likely.
Getting you moving again in Blackley
If you break down on the motorway, get behind the barrier if it is safe, then call us. On local roads, put your hazards on and keep well clear of passing traffic. We strap every vehicle at the wheels and can move non-runners on wheel skates, so a seized brake or a car stuck in gear won't hold up your breakdown recovery.
Heaton Park draws big crowds for concerts and events, and the roads around it can get very busy afterwards. If your car won't start after a day out, tell us which gate or car park you are near and we will come to you.

Flat battery in Blackley
Our portable jump equipment will start anything up to 8,000cc diesel, from a hatchback to a 4x4 or a works van. Tell us where the car is and we will bring the kit to you at home, at work or in a car park. Older batteries often give up on the first properly cold morning of autumn, so if your car has been slow to start lately, it is worth having it checked once it is running.
Places we can reach you for a jumpstart
- Heaton Park car parks
- Boggart Hole Clough
- Residential streets in Higher Blackley and Charlestown
- Shops and car parks along Rochdale Road
Vehicle transport for Blackley
Whether you have won a car at a Copart, BCA, RAW2K or Synetiq auction or bought one privately, we can collect it and bring it to your door in Blackley. Dealer moves and project cars are welcome too. If the car does not run, our wheel skates let us load it without it needing to start or steer.
Cars that have failed an MOT or are declared SORN can be taken to your garage or test centre on the trailer. Classic and lowered cars load safely thanks to the low loading angle. Ring with both postcodes for a fixed quote, and pay by cash or card.

Blackley breakdown recovery: FAQs
What's your typical arrival time in Blackley?
Blackley is about 3.3 miles from our Ardwick base, so we can often reach you within 30 minutes. If you have broken down on the M60 or Rochdale Road is busy, it may take longer, and we will be upfront with you about that when you call.
Can you recover my car from the M60 near Blackley?
Yes. We cover the M60 around junctions 19 and 20 as well as local roads. Get behind the barrier if you can, call 0161 327 4329, and tell us which direction you were heading and the nearest junction or marker post. If you are stuck in a live lane, call 999 first.
Is the quote fixed, or can it go up?
It is fixed. Once we know the collection and delivery postcodes, we give you one price, and that is what you pay. Local jobs start from £50, and you can pay by card or cash when we drop the vehicle off.
Do you do jumpstarts on driveways?
Yes, we jumpstart vehicles on driveways, at the roadside, at work and in car parks, including height-restricted ones. The equipment handles anything up to 8,000cc diesel, so cars, 4x4s and vans are all covered. Just tell us where the car is parked.
