We deliver reliable car recovery throughout Moss Side and across the M14, M15 and M16 borders, whether you're stranded near the University of Manchester, need van breakdown recovery on Princess Road, or need help around Moss Side Leisure Centre. Greater Manchester motorists have trusted us for over 12 years, and as an independent, owner-driven business we keep our pricing fair, with local jobs from £50, and the price we quote is what you pay. We're open 24 hours a day, every day of the year, for breakdowns, flat batteries and planned moves.
Moss Side is little more than a mile from our base in Higher Ardwick, so callouts here are among our quickest – we are often with you within 30 minutes, and usually sooner. We know the busy student streets near Oxford Road, the residential roads on the Rusholme borders and everything in between. Local knowledge means a faster response, which matters when you need a jumpstart near Platt Fields Park or transport from Alexandra Park. Call 0161 327 4329 any time, or send your location by WhatsApp to the same number.
Moss Side Breakdown Recovery
Our 24-hour car recovery service responds to breakdowns across Moss Side's busiest routes and quieter streets alike. The A5103 Princess Road corridor, the university area and the residential streets all get the same priority.

We load onto a flatbed, with wheel skates for cars that won't roll, and take the vehicle to your home, your garage or a dealer anywhere in Greater Manchester.

Moss Side breakdown recovery: FAQs
How fast can you get to Moss Side?
Our base in Higher Ardwick is only about a mile and a quarter away, so Moss Side is one of our quickest areas. We are often with you within 30 minutes and usually sooner, depending on traffic on Princess Road and around the university. We'll give you a realistic time when you call.
How much is a tow from Moss Side to a garage?
Local jobs start from £50. Give us the collection and drop-off postcodes and tell us what the vehicle is, and we'll give you a fixed quote. That's the price you pay, by cash or card, with nothing added when we arrive or once the job is done.
Can you help a student whose car won't start near the university halls?
Yes. We jumpstart cars in residential car parks, on-street bays and multi-storeys around Oxford Road and Fallowfield. Tell us the exact location and have your keys with you. If the battery is beyond saving, we can take the car to a garage.
Can you move a non-runner off a Moss Side street?
Usually, yes. Wheel skates let us move cars with locked brakes or seized wheels, and our low-angle flatbed suits lowered cars. Let us know about tight parking or flat tyres when you call so we can plan the job before we arrive.
