Tow truck & car recovery in Tallaght
Stuck at the roadside is stressful. Our Tallaght recovery team gets to you fast, gives you a clear price before we lift the car, and takes the hassle off your hands.
N7 Recovery is a local, family-run breakdown recovery and vehicle towing service based just down the N7 in Rathcoole — so Tallaght and the wider Dublin 24 area are right on our doorstep. Whether you’ve suffered a mechanical breakdown, a flat battery, a puncture or an accident, we provide fast roadside assistance and safe car recovery around the clock, every day of the year.
We’ve been recovering cars, vans and light commercial vehicles across South Dublin since 2009, and our modern, fully insured tow trucks are equipped to handle everything from a simple jump start to a full flatbed recovery. If your vehicle can be fixed at the roadside, we’ll get you moving there and then. If it can’t, we’ll load it onto the truck and transport it wherever you need — your home, your chosen garage, or our secure yard for free storage while you sort out repairs or insurance.
Broken down on the M50 at Junction 11 or 12, on the N81 Blessington Road, in The Square, near Tallaght University Hospital, or outside your own house in Old Bawn, Jobstown or Fettercairn? One phone call is all it takes — tell us where you are and what’s wrong, and a recovery truck will be dispatched straight away.

Common breakdowns we handle in Tallaght
Most call-outs fall into a handful of situations. Whatever’s happened, we’ve dealt with it before — and we’ll deal with it calmly for you.
Won’t start / dead battery
A flat battery is the most common call we get. We’ll attempt a jump start or battery boost on the spot; if the alternator or starter motor has failed, we recover the car to your garage.
Flat tyre or blowout
No spare, no locking wheel nut, or damage that can’t be fixed roadside? We’ll change the wheel or recover the vehicle safely to a tyre centre.
Wrong fuel (misfuel)
Put petrol in a diesel or vice versa? Don’t start the engine. We’ll recover the car to a garage for a proper fuel drain and flush.
Clutch, gearbox & engine faults
Clutch gone, stuck in gear, overheating or a warning light that’s left you stranded? We transport the car for repair without further damage.
Accident & collision recovery
After a crash we recover your vehicle from the scene, clear the roadside, and take it to your garage or our compound — insurance jobs welcome.
Ran out of fuel
Stranded with an empty tank on the M50 or N81? We’ll get you going again or recover you to the nearest safe stop.
Keys locked in / lost keys
Locked out or lost your keys? We can recover the vehicle to your home or an auto locksmith so you’re not stuck on the road.
Scrap & end-of-life removal
Old, failed or written-off vehicle taking up space? We collect and remove scrap and end-of-life cars from anywhere in Tallaght.
Vehicles we recover
Our tilt-and-slide flatbed and winching gear let us load almost any light vehicle quickly and without damage.
We recover cars, vans, SUVs and 4x4s, motorbikes, and light commercial vehicles throughout Tallaght and Dublin. Electric vehicles and hybrids are recovered on a flatbed truck rather than being towed on their wheels, which protects the drivetrain — so if your EV has run out of charge or won’t move, we’re set up for it. We also handle prestige and low-clearance cars with care using our tilt-and-slide bed, and can winch vehicles that are stuck, off-road or badly parked. If you’re not sure whether we can move your vehicle, just call and describe it — we’ll tell you straight away.
Every recovery is carried out on modern, fully insured equipment, and your vehicle is strapped and secured properly for transport so it arrives in the same condition it left in. For dealers, garages and motor traders around Tallaght, we also offer regular trade recovery and vehicle transport at competitive rates — get in touch to set up an account.
