Stuck on the A1 near Hillsborough? We Are Already Rolling

Our records show roughly 40 minutes as a typical arrival to the Hillsborough area, and often less when a truck is already working near Lisburn or Sprucefield. The A1 is one of our most travelled routes, so we usually know the quickest line to you. Call 07707 362578 and we will give you a realistic time the moment we know exactly where you are.

Yes. The A1 around Hillsborough is one of the busiest roads we cover and a frequent breakdown spot for long distance drivers. If you are stopped on the carriageway, get well behind the barrier where you safely can, keep your hazards on, and ring us. We will reach you, load your vehicle quickly and clear the live lane as fast as it is safe to do.

We can. Plenty of Hillsborough and Sprucefield callouts end with us running the vehicle back to a garage in Belfast or Lisburn. You choose the destination and we will take it there, or we can drop it at home if you prefer to sort the repair later. Just tell the driver where you want it when we arrive.

Yes, 24 hours a day, every day of the year including bank holidays. A breakdown on the A1 at two in the morning gets the same answered phone as one at midday. We have run a round the clock service since 1995, so late night and early morning calls are completely normal for us.

On a fast route like the A1 we see a lot of overheating, tyre blowouts at speed and cars running out of charge or fuel mid journey. Around the village itself it is more often flat batteries and non starts. Whatever the cause, we will recover the vehicle, and where it is a simple roadside fix we will sort it on the spot rather than tow unnecessarily.

The whole area. That includes the village, the Sprucefield side, the stretch of A1 in both directions and the smaller roads out toward Annahilt and Ravernet. If you are anywhere around Hillsborough and cannot drive, we will come to you.

Yes. We handle cars, vans and light commercial vehicles up to five tonnes, which covers most work vans and light trucks using the A1. If your vehicle is heavier than that, call us anyway and we will tell you straight away whether we can lift it or arrange suitable help.

If you are on the dual carriageway, get the vehicle as far left as you safely can, switch on your hazards, and if it is safe, leave the car and stand behind the barrier away from traffic. Keep your phone to hand so the driver can reach you. On a road that fast, staying out of the live lane matters more than staying with the vehicle.

Yes. If you have had a collision on the A1 or around the village, make sure everyone is safe and out of harm first, then call us. We will recover the damaged vehicle and move it somewhere secure. We deal with accident recoveries regularly, so we will keep things calm and straightforward while you sort the rest.

We will agree the cost with you on the phone before we set off, so there are no surprises at the roadside. Payment is simple and the driver will confirm the accepted methods when you book. We would rather you knew the figure up front than worried about it while you wait.

A national club routes your call through a call centre and then hunts for a contractor, which on the A1 can mean a long wait.
