Breakdown Recovery & Car Transport in Marple

Marple is on the very edge of Greater Manchester, with open country just beyond Mellor and Marple Bridge. The roads reflect that: steep in places, narrow over the canal and railway bridges, and very quiet late at night. If your car, van or 4x4 has broken down anywhere in SK6, call or WhatsApp 0161 327 4329. We're an independent recovery and transport service, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with over 12 years of professional driving and recovery experience. Lanes around Mellor and Strines can be hard to describe, so a WhatsApp location pin is the simplest way to show us where you are.

From our Ardwick base it's roughly eight miles to Marple, usually through Stockport and out along the A626. That's too far for us to promise a set time, so we'll give you an honest ETA when you call, based on where you are and how busy the roads are. You'll also get a fixed price up front, worked out from the collection and delivery postcodes, and that price doesn't change. Local jobs start from £50 and we take cash or card. That applies whether it's a breakdown, a jumpstart or a planned move.

Recovery on Marple's hills and narrow roads

Getting a broken-down car out of a lane in Mellor or off a slope near the canal locks takes some care. We use a triple-axle flatbed with low-angle loading, wheel skates for vehicles that won't roll, and wheel straps to keep everything secure on the way back down the hill. Whether it's 4x4 recovery after a day out in the hills or a family car that has lost drive, we can take vehicles up to 2.7 tonnes.

On the A626 through Marple Bridge the road narrows and parking is tight. If you stop there, put your hazards on, stay out of the traffic, and tell us which side of the river you're on, as it helps us choose the best way in.

Battery jumpstarts in Marple

Cold, damp mornings in the Goyt valley are hard on older batteries. If yours has given up, we'll come out and jumpstart it, whether it's a car, a van or a 4x4 up to 8,000cc diesel, at home, at work, at a station or in a car park with a height barrier.

Station car parks and country park car parks are places where a car often sits all day, and lights left on are an easy way to come back to a dead battery.

Spots we can reach for a jumpstart

• Marple station
• Rose Hill Marple station
• Brabyns Park
• Memorial Park
• Etherow Country Park at Compstall

Car, caravan and trailer transport from Marple

We tow caravans and trailers as well as cars, so if yours needs moving to storage or a workshop and you can't tow it yourself, we can do it for you. Tell us where it's kept, where it's going, and whether the hitch and lights are in working order.

For cars, we collect auction purchases from Copart, BCA, RAW2K and Synetiq, deliver eBay and private buys, and take non-runners and MOT failures to a garage or test centre. Classic and lowered cars ride on the low-angle trailer. Send both postcodes and we'll give you a fixed vehicle transport quote.
