Leigh has no railway station of its own, so a car or van that won't start can leave you with few other ways to get to work. Whether you're on a driveway in Pennington, in the car park at Leigh Sports Village or stuck on the East Lancs Road, call or WhatsApp 0161 327 4329. We're open 24/7, every day, and we cover the whole of WN7 for breakdown recovery, battery jumpstarts and vehicle transport, along with Atherton, Tyldesley, Lowton and Golborne close by. If you're not sure of the street name, the nearest landmark is enough to get us started.
Our base is in Ardwick, about 12 miles away, so we won't promise a 30-minute arrival. When you call, we'll look at where you are and how the A580 and the M60 are running, and give you an honest estimate. Prices are fixed before we set off: you give us the pick-up and drop-off postcodes, and you pay exactly what we quote, by cash or card. We bring over 12 years of professional driving and recovery experience to every job, large or small. If it's a jumpstart you need, tell us the engine size and fuel type when you call.
East Lancs Road and Leigh breakdowns
The A580 runs along the southern edge of the town as a fast dual carriageway with traffic lights at the main junctions, and a car that stops there needs moving promptly. We load cars, vans and SUVs up to 2.7 tonnes onto a triple-axle flatbed, using wheel skates when the wheels are locked, and take them to your garage, your home or wherever else you choose.
Inside the town, tight terraced streets can make loading awkward. Our trailer loads at a low angle, and wheel skates let us shift a car that's stuck in gear or has a seized brake into a position where it can go on safely.

Jumpstarts in Leigh
If the engine turns over slowly or just clicks, it's worth trying a jumpstart before booking a tow. Our jumpstart service starts engines up to 8,000cc diesel, and we come to driveways, workplaces and car parks, including multi-storeys with low height barriers.
Leigh Sports Village and Pennington Flash both have large car parks where a car can sit for hours, and a dead battery there is no fun after dark. Send us the car park name and roughly where you're parked.

Moving cars and vans to and from Leigh
We run vehicle transport jobs in and out of Leigh for auction buyers using Copart, BCA, RAW2K and Synetiq, for private and eBay sales, and for dealer moves. Non-runners, SORN cars and MOT failures can go straight to the garage or test centre you choose.
We also tow caravans and trailers, which helps if yours is stored away from home. Lowered and classic cars travel on our low-angle trailer, which is kinder to spoilers and sills. Message both postcodes on WhatsApp and we'll send a fixed price back, confirmed before anything is loaded.

Leigh breakdown recovery: FAQs
How far are you from Leigh, and how long will you be?
Our base in Ardwick is about 12 miles from Leigh. Journey time depends heavily on the A580 and the M60, so we don't quote a standard arrival time. We'll give you a realistic one when you call, based on where you are and the time of day.
What do you charge to recover a car in Leigh?
We price each job on where the car is and where it's going. Give us both postcodes and we'll quote a fixed price, and the price you're quoted is the price you pay. You can pay by cash or card when we arrive.
Can you help if I've broken down on the East Lancs Road?
Yes, day or night. The useful details are which way you were heading and the last junction you passed, such as Lowton, Astley or Boothstown. Keep yourself well clear of the traffic, then call or WhatsApp 0161 327 4329.
Do you cover Atherton, Tyldesley and Golborne as well?
Yes. Atherton, Tyldesley, Golborne, Lowton and Astley are all in our 24/7 area, along with the rest of WN7. Let us know the postcode and we'll tell you honestly how long we'll be and what it will cost.
