Who do I call for a tow truck in Dublin?
Call (086) 446 1672, answered 24/7. Tell us where you are, an M50 junction, street or Eircode, and a fully insured flatbed starts moving. We recover cars, vans and light commercials.
One honest thing first: if you break down on the M50 itself, ring the free M50 emergency response on 1800 77 5050 as well. Their crews tow stricken vehicles off the motorway to a safe location nearby, free of charge. What they do not do is bring the car home, or to a garage you trust. That second leg is exactly what we do: we collect from wherever the motorway crew leaves you and carry the car on to Meath, or anywhere in Dublin, on the flatbed.
Off the motorway, we come directly to you. City streets, retail parks, the airport car parks, office basements with sensible clearance, name the spot and we will tell you honestly how long the truck needs to get there.
Why use a Navan recovery truck in Dublin?
Because most of our Dublin call-outs end in Meath. A Dublin operator charges the long leg to Navan as dead mileage. Our truck is based at the Meath end, so the tow home is the run it was already making.
Meath workers have the longest average commute in Ireland at 35.2 minutes each way, per Census 2022 commuting figures, and tens of thousands of them end every working day in Dublin. When the clutch gives up at the far end of that commute, you do not want the car left in a Dublin yard. You want it home, or in a workshop you can walk into. That is the run we are built for.
It cuts the other way too. Bought a car in Dublin, or need a non-runner moved out of the city? We collect across Dublin daily, main dealers included, and deliver to Meath and beyond.
Do you recover cars on the M50?
Yes, and we know its rhythm: the crawl between Junction 5 and Junction 6 where Meath traffic joins, the Red Cow at peak, and the collision hotspots. We position for exactly these runs.
The M50 carries roughly 160,000 vehicles a day and its contractors assist over 500 broken-down vehicles a month, with 682 collisions recorded in the first ten months of 2025 alone, per reporting from RTÉ. If you commute from Meath down the M3 or N2, you join at the busiest stretch of the busiest road in Ireland. Statistically, that is where your breakdown happens.
One Dublin-only warning worth knowing: city clearways generally run 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday, and a car that dies on one can be towed to the pound with a €250 release fee. If your car is stopped somewhere it cannot stay, say so when you call and we will treat it as the deadline it is.
