How it works

From your call to back on the road

1

You call us

Ring 07707 362578 or message us on WhatsApp. You speak to the family that runs the firm, not a call centre. Tell us your location and what the car is doing.

2

We confirm and set off

We agree a clear price before we move, then the nearest of our drivers heads straight to you. Our records show most Belfast callers see us in around 40 minutes.

3

We try to fix it on the spot

Many breakdowns are a flat battery, a wheel change or a simple fault we can sort at the roadside. Our customers tell us roughly nineteen in twenty jobs are finished without a tow.

4

We recover and load safely

If the car cannot be driven, we load it securely onto the truck. Your vehicle is strapped down and handled with care from the moment we arrive.

5

We take you where you need to go

We drop your car at the garage, your home or wherever suits you, and we make sure you are safe before we leave. You are never left at the roadside.

Absolute life savers, very fast coming out and great value for money. My son was broken down in town. I called a recovery who told me they were taking 2 hours to come. Give these guys a call, 15 mins they took, very friendly when they came and at a very affordable price. Thank you.

Breakdown recovery in Newtownabbey, your questions

Local answers for drivers in and around Newtownabbey.

How quickly can you reach me in Newtownabbey?

Newtownabbey is about 8 miles from our East Belfast base, and our records show most callers here are reached in around 40 minutes, often quicker on the motorway side. Call 07707 362578 and we will give you a time based on exactly where you are.

Do you recover vehicles on the M2 at Newtownabbey?

Yes. The M2 and the Sandyknowes roundabout area are roads we cover regularly. A breakdown in a live motorway lane is treated as a priority, so call us straight away, get behind the barrier, and we will reach you as fast as the traffic allows.

Can you tow my car from Newtownabbey to a garage?

We can. Whether your garage is in Glengormley, Whiteabbey or back in Belfast, we will take the vehicle straight there. Tell us the destination on the call and we will sort it.

Do you cover Glengormley and Carnmoney as well as the main roads?

Yes. As well as the M2 and Antrim Road, we attend the residential streets around Glengormley and Carnmoney every week. Give us your street or the nearest junction and our driver will find you.

Is SP Recovery a 24 hour service in Newtownabbey?

It is. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year. A late night breakdown on the O'Neill Road or the Shore Road is exactly the kind of call our round the clock team handles.

What breaks down most often around Newtownabbey?

On the fast roads like the M2 we see overheating, blowouts and flat batteries, while the housing estates bring more non starts and clutch trouble. Whatever has happened, we will recover the vehicle and get you moving again.

Do you recover vans and commercials in Newtownabbey?

Yes. We handle cars, vans and light commercials up to 5 tonnes, which covers most work vehicles using the Newtownabbey roads. For anything heavier we can call on connections with larger capacity.

I have broken down on the motorway near Sandyknowes. What should I do?

If you can, get the car onto the hard shoulder, switch your hazards on, and get everyone out the left side and behind the barrier away from traffic. Then call 07707 362578. A live lane on the M2 is dangerous, so stay clear of the carriageway and let us come to you.

How do I pay for breakdown recovery in Newtownabbey?

We give you a clear price over the phone before a driver leaves, so there are no surprises at the roadside. Just ring 07707 362578 or message us on WhatsApp and we will explain the cost up front.

Can you recover my car after an accident in Newtownabbey?

Yes. After a collision anywhere in Newtownabbey, including the M2, we will get to the scene, make the vehicle safe and recover it to wherever you need. Once everyone is safe, call 07707 362578 and we will be on our way.
