Dublin's 24/7MotorwayResponse Unit

Why Dublin drivers choose KS Vehicle Recovery

KS Vehicle Recovery is a family-run, 100% Irish owned car recovery and roadside assistance service operating across Dublin city and county, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Since 2014 we have recovered thousands of cars, vans and SUVs from the M50 hard shoulder, the Port Tunnel approaches, the Red Cow interchange, the Naas Road, the quays and every housing estate from Ballymun to Dún Laoghaire. Our number — 089 457 9606 — is answered by a person in Dublin, not a call centre queue, and the average dispatch time across the city is fifteen minutes.

Breakdowns don't keep office hours. A dead battery on a frosty January morning in Rathfarnham, a flat tyre on the M1 at midnight coming back from the airport, a clutch gone on the Long Mile Road at rush hour — we handle all of it with DAF flatbed recovery trucks that carry your car with all four wheels off the ground, the only correct method for automatics, all-wheel-drive vehicles, hybrids and electric cars.

Coverage area and Dublin postcodes

We cover Dublin 1 through Dublin 24 in full: the north inner city and docklands (D01, D03, D07), Drumcondra and Glasnevin (D09, D11), Santry and Ballymun (D09, D11), Raheny, Clontarf and Howth (D03, D05, D13), Blanchardstown and Castleknock (D15), Finglas (D11), the south inner city and Rathmines (D02, D06), Terenure, Templeogue and Rathfarnham (D6W, D14, D16), Crumlin, Walkinstown and Drimnagh (D12), Inchicore and Ballyfermot (D08, D10), Sandymount, Ringsend and Donnybrook (D04), Dundrum and Sandyford (D14, D18), Clondalkin and Lucan (D22, K78) and Tallaght (D24).

Beyond the M50 we work the M1 airport corridor to Balbriggan, the M4 west through Lucan, Leixlip and Maynooth, the M7 and N7 south through Newlands Cross and Naas, and the N11 coastal route through Bray, Greystones and into Wicklow. Kildare and Meath are covered as standard, and long-distance towing is available nationwide at a fixed price agreed before we lift the vehicle.

Fully insured, fully licensed

KS Vehicle Recovery is CRO registered and carries €2,000,000 public liability insurance alongside motor trade cover that protects your vehicle from the moment it is loaded until it is handed back to you. Our trucks are commercially taxed and DOE tested; our drivers hold full C licences with valid CPC.

Roadside assistance services explained

Not every breakdown needs a tow. Our vans and trucks carry professional jump-start packs and battery testers, tyre-changing equipment for roadside wheel swaps, fuel cans for petrol and diesel delivery, and misfuel handling. Where a roadside fix isn't safe or possible — a seized engine, a snapped cambelt, accident damage, or a flat tyre on the wrong side of a motorway — we recover the vehicle on the flatbed to your home, your garage or our secure depot in Dublin 12. We also carry out winching and extraction from ditches, verges, soft ground and flood water, and low-clearance recovery from multi-storey and underground car parks.

How it works and what to do first

Ring 089 457 9606 or WhatsApp +353 89 457 9606. Tell us where you are — a road and junction, a street name, an Eircode or a dropped pin all work. We give you a fixed price on the call, dispatch the nearest unit, and text you the driver's name with a live ETA. While you wait: hazard lights on, hi-vis vest on before you leave the car, everyone out through the left-hand doors and behind the barrier on a motorway, and ring 999 or 112 first if anyone is hurt or you are stopped in a live lane. Note the nearest marker post number if you can see one — it tells us exactly where you are.
