Chorlton is a short run from our Ardwick base, about three miles across the city, and we cover it day and night. Whether your car has cut out on Barlow Moor Road, lost power on the way back from the shops, or simply refuses to start on a side street off Beech Road, one call to 0161 327 4329 gets a recovery truck moving. We are a small independent firm rather than a national motoring club, so you deal with us directly from the first call to the drop-off, and we will tell you honestly how long we will be. In most cases that is around half an hour.
Plenty of households in M21 lean on the Metrolink and only use the car at weekends, which is exactly when a battery that has been sitting idle tends to give up. When a jump isn't enough, our breakdown recovery service takes the car wherever you want it. We also move classic and lowered cars, which load easily on our low-angle trailer. Local jobs start from £50. Once we know where the car is and where it is going, we give you a fixed quote, and that figure is what you pay, by cash or card. Mention anything unusual, such as a low front splitter or an aftermarket exhaust, and we will load accordingly.
Breakdowns in M21, sorted
Our flatbed takes cars, vans and SUVs up to 2.7 tonnes, plus caravans and trailers, which is handy for anyone setting off from M21 for a weekend away. If the tow car is fine but the caravan or trailer has a problem, we can move that too. Every vehicle is strapped at the wheels, and wheel skates handle anything that won't roll.
Wherever you have come to a halt, stay off the carriageway while you wait and keep your hazards on. We will position the trailer so loading is quick, then take the vehicle to your garage, a dealer or back to your home.

Jumpstarts across Chorlton
From a two-seater sports car to a long-wheelbase van, we can jumpstart anything up to 8,000cc diesel. Most jumps here are on driveways and residential streets, but we come out to workplaces and car parks too, height-restricted ones included. Let us know the make and model when you ring, as some cars have their jump points in an unusual place, such as the boot.
Spots we can reach you

Vehicle transport from Chorlton
We move cars to and from Chorlton for all sorts of reasons: an eBay purchase collected from further afield, a dealer-to-dealer move, or a project car heading to a specialist. Auction buyers can have vehicles picked up from Copart, BCA, RAW2K and Synetiq. A flatbed keeps all four wheels off the road, which is why it suits classic cars so well.
If the car is off the road on SORN or has failed its MOT, we can take it to a garage or test centre and bring it home again afterwards if needed. Send us both postcodes for a fixed price on any car transport job.

Chorlton breakdown recovery: FAQs
How long will it take you to get to Chorlton?
Our base is about three miles away in Ardwick, so we usually reach you within half an hour. Traffic on Princess Parkway and through the city centre can slow that down at peak times, and we will always give you an honest estimate on the phone.
Can you recover my caravan from Chorlton?
Yes, we transport caravans and trailers as well as cars, vans and SUVs. Let us know roughly how big it is, where it is parked and whether it sits on a driveway or the street, and we will arrange a collection time that suits you.
How is the price worked out?
Tell us where the vehicle is and where it needs to go. From those two postcodes we give you a fixed quote, with local work starting from £50. The quote does not change once we arrive, and you can pay by cash or card.
My car is stuck in gear and won't roll. Can you still move it?
Yes. We carry wheel skates for exactly that situation. They go under the wheels so the car can be moved onto the trailer safely, even when the handbrake is stuck on or the gearbox won't come out of gear.
