24 hour breakdown and car recovery in Urlingford
Urlingford sits on the Tipperary border where the R693 meets the old N8 (R639) and the M8 motorway at Junction 4. We are the nearest recovery truck in County Kilkenny to the M8 between Cashel and Portlaoise, and we recover regularly from the hard shoulder around Urlingford and Johnstown, from the filling stations on the main street, and from the roads out to Galmoy and Crosspatrick. If you have broken down on the M8 near Urlingford, give us the direction of travel and the nearest junction and we will come to you.
Urlingford is on the M8 (Junction 4), not the M9. We cover both motorways from Three Castles; see our M8 motorway recovery page. For motorway breakdowns, read our M9 motorway recovery page or M8 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.
