Breakdown Recovery & Car Transport in Openshaw

Openshaw sits along Ashton Old Road in east Manchester, a mix of housing, workshops and trade units, with the Etihad Stadium and Co-op Live just to the north. That means plenty of vans on the move early in the morning and heavy traffic on event days, both times when a breakdown is the last thing you need. We are based 1.6 miles away in Ardwick and come out to M11 around the clock, whether you need a vehicle recovered, a flat battery boosted or a car moved on a set date. We also cover the neighbouring districts of Clayton, Beswick and Gorton.

Being that close, we are often with you within 30 minutes. Local jobs are from £50, and as soon as you give us the pick-up and drop-off postcodes we will fix the price; you pay exactly what we quote, cash or card. The transporter is a flatbed, triple-axle trailer with low-angle loading, rated for cars, vans and 4x4s up to 2.7 tonnes. Fast Breakdown Recovery & Car Transport is independent, and has more than 12 years of professional driving and recovery experience behind it. Drivers who prefer to text can WhatsApp the same number with a location pin.

Van and car recovery on Ashton Old Road

Ashton Old Road (A635) runs straight through Openshaw between the city centre and Tameside, and Alan Turing Way leads north towards the stadium. A van or car that stops on either needs moving promptly. Our van recovery covers vehicles up to 2.7 tonnes, and wheel skates mean even a van whose wheels won't turn can be loaded. Once it is on the trailer we will take it to your yard, your garage or home. Breakdowns on the side streets and in trade yards are covered too, and the trailer suits lowered cars because it loads at a low angle. Business owners running a few vans from a local unit can call us whenever one of them stops.

Common breakdown spots we cover

• Ashton Old Road (A635)
• Alan Turing Way by the Etihad Campus
• Ashton New Road (A662) at Clayton

Jumpstarts for trade vans and event-day cars

A diesel van left overnight in a yard, a car that has sat too long on the drive, or a battery that gives up after a gig or a match: we come out to all of them. We provide a jumpstart for engines up to 8,000cc diesel, at homes, workplaces and in car parks, including height-restricted ones. Event car parks empty fast, so tell us the car park name and anything nearby that helps us find you in the dark.

Vehicle transport across east Manchester

For businesses in Openshaw, we can move vans and cars between sites, collect from dealers or deliver to a garage. Private buyers can book us to collect from Copart, BCA, RAW2K or Synetiq, or to fetch an eBay or private purchase. We can also bring a newly bought van or car home to M11 from anywhere in Greater Manchester.

Non-runners load on wheel skates, every vehicle is secured with wheel straps, and the low-angle trailer suits lowered and classic cars. SORN or MOT-failure vehicles can go straight to a test centre. For a planned move, ask about our vehicle transport and we will give you a fixed price. We also tow caravans and trailers.
