A local recovery service you deal with directly
Fast Breakdown Recovery & Car Transport is an independent recovery business based at Higher Ardwick, a mile from Manchester city centre. When you call, you speak to the driver who will come out, not a call centre. Tell us where you are and where the vehicle needs to go, and you get a fixed price there and then. The price we quote is the price you pay.
We have over 12 years of professional driving and recovery experience, and we work 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Across central and inner Greater Manchester we are often with you within 30 minutes. Further out we give you an honest arrival time when you call, based on where we are and what the traffic is doing.

What our customers say
My car was parked in a very awkward position that only a very skilled driver could access by driving backwards. To add to the challenge, the car is lowered. Despite these difficulties, there were no issues whatsoever, and it was delivered to the repair shop with no questions asked. Highly recommend!
Excellent service! He arrived within 30 minutes after breaking down, nice guy, really helpful. Good rates, couldn't ask for anymore! Highly recommended!
Very quick response & friendly guy! Called him when my car broke down, set straight off and was there in super speed! Highly recommend!
I broke down on Manchester Airport link road, I googled 24hr breakdown and randomly call Fast Breakdown Recovery. I gave my location, vehicle type, and destination. I was given a price that I was happy with. I was told 40mins pick up. He turned up early and was quick and efficient, friendly and helpful. Got my car back to my local garage safely. I will definitely save their number in my phone, just in case there is a next time. Excellent service
Cos came out to save me when I was stuck in Snake Pass (not an ideal place to break down - no signal) and he came out to me within 1hr 30mins. Exceptional service, really friendly guy. Would highly recommend to anyone. 10/10
An absolute pleasure from start to finish dealing with this man. There quickly, a great driver and a lovely human being as well. Can't speak highly enough of this business

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you get to me?
From our base in Ardwick we are often with you within 30 minutes across central and inner Greater Manchester. For outer towns such as Bolton, Wigan or Rochdale we'll give you an honest arrival time when you call, because traffic and time of day make a real difference.
How much does breakdown recovery cost in Manchester?
Local jobs start from £50. The final price depends on the distance between collection and delivery, the vehicle and whether it rolls. Give us both postcodes and you'll get a fixed price before we set off. That is the price you pay.
What vehicles can you recover?
Cars, vans and SUVs/4x4s up to 2.7 tonnes on a triple-axle flatbed with low-angle loading, which suits lowered and classic cars too. We also move caravans and trailers. Vehicles that won't roll go on wheel skates.
Do I need to be a member?
No. There is no membership or subscription. You call, get a fixed quote and pay by cash or card when the job is done.
How do I send you my location?
Call 0161 327 4329, or open WhatsApp on the same number, tap the + icon and choose Location. A dropped pin is the quickest way to find you on a motorway slip road or in a large car park.
Broken down or need a vehicle moved?
Call or WhatsApp for a fixed price. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
