Who does 24/7 car recovery in Dundalk?
Alan Dawson Autoworks and Recovery. Call (086) 446 1672, any hour. A fully insured flatbed covers Dundalk town, the M1 through north Louth and the surrounding villages, for cars, vans and light commercials.
The truck is a flatbed, and that detail matters. Your car rides on the deck rather than being dragged on its wheels, so automatics, electric cars and low cars travel without picking up new damage. Every job is fully insured, and the same truck handles breakdowns, accident recovery, jump starts and flat batteries.
Cover runs well past the town itself. We take calls from the M1 through north Louth, the N52, the N53 and the mid-Louth villages, from Castlebellingham out towards the Ardee side. If the car needs a workshop afterwards, it can go to any garage you name, or into our own workshop at Harristown, Navan, where we repair all makes and models.
What should I do if I break down on the M1 near Dundalk?
Get off the live lane and onto the hard shoulder if it is safe. Put your hazards on. Get everyone out the left doors and behind the barrier. Then call (086) 446 1672 and tell us your junction or Eircode.
Safety first, recovery second. If the engine still pulls, ease the car onto the hard shoulder or off at the next exit, then stop. Turn the wheels towards the verge, hazards on, and leave through the left-hand doors. Get every passenger behind the safety barrier and well back from the traffic. Do not stand behind the car, and do not attempt a repair on the hard shoulder, not even a wheel change.
Once you are safe, make the call. Tell us the road, your direction of travel and the nearest junction, or read out the blue location sign on the barrier. An Eircode or a pin from your phone’s map works too. Then stay behind the barrier until the flatbed arrives. We load the car and take it wherever it needs to go, home, a local garage or our Navan workshop.
Can you collect or deliver a car anywhere in Ireland from Dundalk?
Yes. We run nationwide car transport from Dundalk on a fully insured flatbed. Dealer deliveries, private sales, imports and non-runners, collected in Dundalk and delivered to any county, or the other way around.
This is the same flatbed that does our nationwide car transport runs, so Dundalk sits inside a network we drive every week. Buying from a Dundalk dealer and need the car brought down the country? Selling to a buyer three counties away? Moving a non-runner that cannot make the trip itself? One truck, one clear price agreed before the run, no hidden charges.
It works for repairs too. The workshop side of the business lives at Harristown, Navan, where we service and repair all makes and models with the latest Launch diagnostic equipment. For booked work we can collect a car or van in Dundalk, do the job in Navan and deliver it back, which suits anyone whose car is off the road or who cannot spare the drive.
