24 hour breakdown and car recovery in Paulstown
Junction 7 at Paulstown is the first M9 junction in County Kilkenny and the site of the Applegreen service area, the only motorway services between Carlow and Waterford. A lot of our M9 work starts here: cars that will not restart after a fuel stop, flat batteries in the services car park, and drivers who realise something is wrong as they slow down on the slip road. The N10 to Kilkenny leaves the motorway at the next junction, Junction 8, and has very few safe stopping places. We know both junctions, the lay-bys on the N10 and the roads into Paulstown, Gowran and Shankill. If you have broken down near Paulstown tell us whether you are on the M9 (and which direction), in the service area, on the slip road or on the R448.
M9 Junction 7 (Paulstown) is the first Kilkenny junction and has the Applegreen service area. From here we cover the motorway north to Junction 6 (Leighlinbridge) and south to Junction 8 (Kilkenny North) and Junction 9 (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.
