Car Recovery Gowran
Car recovery in Gowran and on the N10 between Kilkenny and M9 Junction 7. Race days at Gowran Park, breakdowns on the N10 dual carriageway and the old N9 south to Thomastown.
24 hour breakdown and car recovery in Gowran
Gowran sits on the N10 just before it meets the M9 at Paulstown, which makes it one of the busiest stretches of road in the county. On race days at Gowran Park we recover cars from the racecourse car parks and the approach roads. The N10 between Kilkenny and Gowran is fast and has limited places to stop safely, so if you break down there, get as far in as you can and ring us. We also cover the old N9 (R448) from Gowran down through Dungarvan to Thomastown.
Gowran is about 5 minutes from M9 Junction 7 (Paulstown) and the N10 junction at Junction 8, and is the natural recovery base for M9 breakdowns between Leighlinbridge and Danesfort. For motorway breakdowns, read our M9 motorway recovery page before you ring, and get behind the barrier first.
Whatever has happened, the service is the same: ring 087 288 2280, speak to Mark, get an honest ETA and a clear price, and we come to you. Flat batteries and punctures are usually sorted on the spot. Anything bigger is loaded on the flatbed and brought home, to Webster's Garage in Three Castles, or to the garage of your choice.
