Rusholme stays busy until late, with the Curry Mile on Wilmslow Road drawing diners well into the night and student houses filling the streets towards Fallowfield and Victoria Park. A car that won't start after a late meal, or one that has been parked up all through the holidays, needs someone who picks up the phone at any hour. We are 1.3 miles away in Ardwick and cover M14 24/7, for roadside breakdowns, flat batteries and vehicles that need moving to a garage, a test centre or a new home.
We are often with you within 30 minutes. Local jobs start from £50, and we fix the price once you tell us the collection and delivery postcodes; the amount quoted is the amount you pay, by cash or card. Our triple-axle flatbed takes cars, vans and SUVs up to 2.7 tonnes, so the vehicle rides with its wheels off the ground. We have been doing professional recovery and driving work for over 12 years, and the business is independent, so you are not passed between agents. Anywhere in Rusholme, you can also WhatsApp us on 0161 327 4329 if a call is awkward in a busy restaurant.
Breakdown recovery on Wilmslow Road and around Rusholme
Wilmslow Road is a busy bus route with limited space to stop, so a car that breaks down on the Curry Mile needs loading quickly and carefully. We also cover the A34 Anson Road through Victoria Park, Dickenson Road, and the roads round Platt Fields Park. Call with the nearest restaurant, junction or bus stop and we will find you. Our breakdown recovery service can then take the car to your garage, your home or a dealer. Rusholme's terraced side streets often have parked cars on both sides, so wheel skates help us move a non-runner out of a tight space.
Common breakdown spots we cover
- Wilmslow Road (the Curry Mile)
- Anson Road (A34)

Jumpstarts for students, residents and late diners
Student cars often sit for weeks between trips home, and that is a quick way to flatten a battery. We will come to your house, a hospital car park or the street outside a restaurant with a battery jumpstart, for petrol or diesel engines up to 8,000cc. Have the keys ready and tell us where the battery is if you know. Finishing a late shift at the infirmary to find the car dead? We can come to the car park, and we carry the kit for big diesels as well as small petrol cars.

Car transport in and out of Rusholme
Bought a car you can't drive home yet? Our vehicle transport collects from Copart, BCA, RAW2K and Synetiq, and from private and eBay sellers, and delivers to your address. We also handle dealer moves. Moving out of a Rusholme tenancy with a car that isn't road-legal? We can carry it to your next address.
If your car has failed its MOT or is on SORN, we can take it to a garage or test centre for you. Wheel skates load cars that won't roll, low-angle loading protects lowered and classic cars, and every vehicle is secured with wheel straps. Caravans and trailers can be moved too, and every job is priced before we set off.

Rusholme breakdown recovery: FAQs
How far are you from Rusholme, and how quickly can you arrive?
We are about 1.3 miles away on Higher Ardwick, so we are often with you within 30 minutes. Wilmslow Road and the Oxford Road corridor can be slow at busy times, so ring 0161 327 4329 and we will give you a straight answer on timing.
What's the cheapest you can do a local tow?
Local jobs start from £50. The exact price depends on where the car is and where it is going, so give us both postcodes and we will quote a fixed figure. There are no surprises on the day: you pay what we quoted, in cash or by card.
My car's been sitting outside my student house all summer and won't start. What should I do?
Call us for a jumpstart first. We will come to the house and try to start it where it is parked. If it starts, a decent drive will help recharge the battery; if it won't, or there is another fault, we can take it to a garage on the flatbed.
Can you get to me if I break down on the Curry Mile late at night?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, every day, so late calls are no problem. Stay somewhere safe, keep your hazards on and tell us the restaurant name or the nearest side street. We will load the car onto the flatbed and get it off Wilmslow Road as quickly as we safely can.
