Great service from Anton. Answered the phone quick and he came out and collected my car within 20 minutes of the call out. Great service and very fair price. Cheers!
Great service second to none. My car was stuck in a very tight space in Dundalk. Anton had it moved and away within 10mins. Great service and a pleasure to deal with.
Highly recommend AL Recovery & Transport. Friendly, fast reply and doesn't rip you off like other local companys. Thanks again Anton.

Questions drivers ask
Can't see your answer? Call Anton on 086 158 2524, day or night.

How quickly can you reach me?
The recovery truck heads out as soon as you call. Response in Dundalk and Carlingford is typically 10 to 20 minutes, and around 30 minutes across the rest of County Louth, depending on your location and traffic.
What does your car recovery service include?
We collect your vehicle from the roadside, your home, workplace or any other location and transport it safely to your chosen garage, home or destination. We recover cars, vans, SUVs, electric vehicles and light commercial vehicles.
What areas do you cover?
24/7 vehicle recovery throughout Dundalk, Blackrock, Carlingford, Omeath, Castlebellingham, Ardee, Drogheda and across County Louth. We also attend breakdowns along the M1 and arrange planned vehicle transport throughout Ireland.
Are you available 24 hours a day?
Yes. Our emergency vehicle recovery service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, whether your vehicle breaks down during the day, late at night or early in the morning.
Can you recover vans and commercial vehicles?
Yes. We recover cars, vans, SUVs, electric vehicles and light commercial vehicles. If you're unsure whether we can recover your vehicle, give us a call.
Can you take my vehicle to the garage of my choice?
Yes. We can take your vehicle to your preferred garage, dealership, home address or another destination of your choice.
What should I do while waiting for recovery?
If it's safe, move the vehicle away from traffic and switch on your hazard lights. On a motorway, leave the vehicle by the safest exit and wait behind the barrier where possible. Then call us with your location.
What should I do if my car breaks down in Dundalk?
Get yourself and any passengers somewhere safe first, switch on your hazard lights, then call 086 158 2524 with your location. A road name, landmark or a pin dropped from your phone is enough to find you.
Can you jump start my car instead of towing it?
Yes. If a flat battery is the problem, a jump start may get you moving without a tow. If the car still won't start, it can be recovered to your home or garage.
How much does vehicle recovery cost?
It depends on your location, the type of vehicle and where it needs to go. Contact us for a free, no obligation quote and we'll give you a clear price before any recovery work begins.
Can I travel in the recovery truck with my vehicle?
Yes, where possible we can take the driver with the recovered vehicle, subject to available seating and safety requirements. Let us know when you call.
