Breakdown Recovery Newry
Broken down on the A1, in Newry town or on the way to the border? First, get yourself and anyone with you somewhere safe. Then ring us with where you are, and we'll come out and get the car off the road.
Breakdowns on the A1 and around Newry
The A1 is fast, busy and has stretches with no hard shoulder. A breakdown there is stressful, so the first job is keeping you safe.
Once you're out of harm's way, ring us. We'll ask a few quick questions about the car and where you are, then come out, load it and bring it to a garage or home.
- Hazard lights on as soon as you stop
- Get out on the side away from traffic
- Stand behind the barrier if there is one
- Keep your phone charged and your location handy
- Don't try to fix it in a live lane
- Call 999 or 112 first if anyone is in danger
Once you're safe, ring 086 158 2524 or 07340 976322 with your location and what the car is doing.

Breakdown recovery in Newry, answered
How long will I be waiting?
It depends on where you are and the time. Ring us and we'll give you a realistic idea there and then, rather than a guess.
Can you fix the car at the roadside?
Our job is getting the car safely off the road and to a garage or home. If it needs parts or a repair, we bring it to someone who can do that.
What if I break down on the A1 at night?
We run 24/7. Get somewhere safe, then ring with your location.
Can you take the car to the Republic?
Yes. A lot of our Newry breakdowns go to garages in Dundalk or further south.
I'm not from the area. What do I tell you?
Look for a road sign, a junction number, a business or a landmark. We know the roads, so that's usually enough.
