Broken Down on a Quiet Ravernet Road? Local Knowledge Gets to You

Ravernet is about 11 miles from our East Belfast base, and our typical arrival across the Lagan Valley is around 40 minutes. The bigger advantage here is that we know the country lanes, so we are not wasting time getting lost. Call 07707 362578, describe a nearby landmark or junction, and we will find you fast.

This is where local knowledge pays off. Tell us the nearest village, a farm name, a junction or which direction you were heading, and we can usually place you straight away. If you have a phone location to share, even better. We have covered these Lagan Valley lanes since 1995, so vague spots are familiar territory for us.

Yes. Most Ravernet recoveries end with us running the vehicle into Lisburn or back to Belfast to a garage of your choosing. Out here the nearest garage can be a fair drive, so we will take it wherever suits you, or leave it at home if you would rather sort the repair another day.

Yes, around the clock, every day of the year. A breakdown on an unlit Lagan Valley road late at night is exactly the sort of call we expect, and the phone is always answered. We have run a 24 hour service since 1995, so rural night time callouts are routine for us.

On rural roads we see a lot of punctures from rough verges and potholes, plus non starts and flat batteries, and in winter the odd car that has lost traction on a wet or icy bend. Where it is a simple roadside fix we will do it there, which matters even more when you are miles from a garage.

Yes, not just the townland itself but the surrounding Lagan Valley lanes, the roads toward Hillsborough and Lisburn, and the smaller routes around Drumbo. If you are anywhere in this rural pocket and cannot drive, we will come and get you.

Yes. We handle cars, vans and light commercials up to five tonnes. Narrow country lanes are no problem for our trucks, and if your vehicle is heavier than five tonnes, call anyway and we will tell you immediately whether we can lift it or arrange the right help.

Get the vehicle as far onto the verge as you safely can, put your hazards on, and on an unlit road keep your sidelights on so you stay visible. Stay safe and away from any bend where traffic might not see you. Keep your phone close so the driver can call as he gets near.

Yes. If you have come off the road or had a collision on a Lagan Valley lane, check everyone is safe first, then call us. We recover accident damaged vehicles regularly, including from awkward rural spots, and will move yours somewhere secure while you deal with the rest.

We agree the price with you on the phone before we set out, so you know the cost up front even before we reach a remote spot. The driver confirms accepted payment methods when you book. No surprises waiting on a quiet road.

On rural Lagan Valley roads a national club can leave you waiting a very long time while it finds a contractor willing to come out. We answer our own phone, we know the lanes, and we are used to finding people in places a satnav cannot. Our 5.0 rating from 68 Google reviews is built on exactly that kind of local reliability since 1995.
