Your local Lucan breakdown & recovery service
When your car packs in around Lucan, you want someone who knows the roads and actually shows up quickly. That’s the whole idea behind what we do.
We run our tow trucks out of Rathcoole, only a few minutes from Lucan, so the village, Adamstown, Esker and everywhere between get reached fast whatever the hour. Flat battery, blowout, gearbox trouble or a shunt in slow traffic — we handle roadside assistance and full vehicle recovery every single day, nights and bank holidays included.
The business has been pulling stranded drivers out of trouble across west and south Dublin since 2009. Our trucks are modern, licensed and fully insured, and carry the gear to fix plenty of faults on the spot. If we can get you rolling at the kerbside, we will. If the car needs a workshop, we’ll load it and drop it exactly where you want it — your home, your usual garage, or our own secure yard, where storage costs you nothing while you deal with repairs or a claim.
Conked out on the N4, sitting on the hard shoulder at the M50 Junction 7, stuck near Liffey Valley, or blocking your own driveway in Foxborough? Give us the spot and the problem in one quick call and the nearest truck heads straight your way.
What we do in Lucan
Breakdown recovery
Engine dead or refusing to turn over? We’ll get you going, or lift the car and move it on.
Battery & tyre help
A flat battery jumped or a wheel swapped where you stand, whatever the time.
After a crash
Been in a bump? We clear the car from the scene and can arrange the repairs too.
NCT & pound pickups
Cars collected from the NCT test centre or released from the Garda pound, anywhere.
Car transport
Bought, sold, or just need a car shifted? We’ll carry it from one door to the next.
Free storage
Nowhere to leave it? Park it free in our gated Rathcoole compound until you’re sorted.
Breakdowns we get called to in Lucan
Nine times out of ten it’s one of these. None of it fazes us — we’ve seen the lot, plenty of times.
Flat battery / no start
Most dead-car calls come down to the battery. We’ll try a boost first; if the alternator or starter has given up, the car comes with us to a garage.
Punctures & blowouts
No spare in the boot, a seized locking nut, or a tyre shredded beyond a roadside fix? We’ll fit the spare or run the car to a tyre place.
Wrong fuel in the tank
Petrol in a diesel, or the other way round? Leave the ignition off and ring us — we’ll bring it in for a drain before any harm is done.
Clutch, gearbox & engine
Clutch gone, jammed in gear, or the temperature gauge in the red? We move the car for repair without adding to the damage.
After an accident
We lift crashed and written-off vehicles off the road, tidy the scene, and take the car to your garage or our yard. Insurance jobs are no bother.
Empty tank
Coasted to a halt on the N4 or the M50 with nothing left in it? We’ll get you sorted and back on the move.
Locked out or lost keys
Keys shut inside, or gone missing altogether? We’ll take the car to your home or an auto locksmith so you aren’t stranded.
Scrap & old cars
Dead motor rotting on the drive? We collect scrap and end-of-life vehicles from any part of Lucan.
What we can lift and tow
With a tilt-and-slide flatbed and a winch on board, there’s very little on four wheels we can’t shift safely.
Day to day we recover cars, vans, jeeps and 4x4s, motorbikes and small commercial vehicles right across Lucan and the west of the city. Electric and hybrid cars go up on the flatbed — never dragged along on their wheels — so the motor and drivetrain stay protected, which matters if your EV has died or run flat. Low, sporty or high-value cars are eased onto the slide bed, and anything stuck, off the road or awkwardly parked can be winched clear. Not sure yours can be moved? Describe it on the phone and we’ll tell you there and then.
Everything travels on insured, well-kept equipment, strapped down properly so your car turns up the way it left. Garages, dealers and traders around Lucan can also open an account with us for regular collections and deliveries at trade rates.
Where we cover in and around Lucan
We’re minutes from all these Lucan neighbourhoods and the roads that run through them:
Our patch takes in the whole of Lucan and the neighbouring corners of west and south Dublin — from Liffey Valley and Griffeen Valley Park across to St Catherine’s Park, Weston and the Adamstown and Kishoge stations. We’re on the main arteries a lot too: the N4, the M50 at Junction 7, the R835 through the village and the R120 heading down towards Newcastle. Need us a little further afield? We also look after Clondalkin and Tallaght.

Jessica P. — WicklowLucan recovery questions
How soon can you reach me in Lucan?
Usually about 30 minutes. Rathcoole is just down the road, so via the N7 and M50 we’re never far away, whatever the hour.
Do you work the N4 and the M50 around Lucan?
Yes. The N4, the M50 at Junction 7 and the R835 Lucan Road are all regular ground for us, along with everything off them.
Can you pick up from the NCT centre or the Garda pound?
We can. We lift cars from NCT centres and Garda impounds anywhere and drop them wherever suits you.
Will you take the car to my own mechanic?
Of course — your garage, your driveway, or our compound. Your call entirely.
Do you recover electric and hybrid cars?
Yes, and always up on the flatbed rather than on the wheels, which keeps the motor and drivetrain safe.
I’ve misfuelled — petrol in a diesel. Now what?
Don’t turn the key. Ring us and we’ll move it to a garage for a fuel drain before it does any damage.
Locked my keys in the car — can you sort it?
We’ll get the car to your home or a locksmith so you’re not left standing at the side of the road.
Is there somewhere to leave the car afterwards?
Yes — free storage at our gated Rathcoole yard for as long as you need while things get sorted.
Do you deal with insurance claims?
Regularly. We’ll recover to an approved repairer or hold the car securely while your claim goes through.
Which parts of Lucan do you cover?
All of it — Adamstown, Esker, Griffeen, Foxborough, Weston, the village, and out as far as Liffey Valley.
What will a tow cost?
It comes down to the vehicle and the distance, so we quote a firm price on the phone first. No hidden extras.
Are you open late and at weekends?
Always — 24 hours, seven days, every day of the year, bank holidays included.
Broken down in Lucan?
Ring us and a truck can be with you in about half an hour. Insured, upfront on price, any hour of the day or night.
