Vehicle Towing in Drogheda and Louth
Flatbed towing is the safest way to move a car, van or bike that cannot be driven. Nothing drags on its own wheels and nothing is left behind.
Why flatbed, not a rope
A rope or A-frame puts strain on a car that may already be damaged and is unsafe on a motorway. DF loads the whole vehicle onto the truck bed and straps it down, which protects automatics, 4x4s, low cars and anything with damaged wheels or steering.

Talk to DavidBrowse all recovery FAQs →How far can you tow?
Local towing across Louth, Meath and North Dublin is the everyday work. Longer runs are quoted on request, so just ask.
Can you tow an automatic?
Yes. Automatics should never be towed on their own wheels, which is exactly why DF uses a flatbed.
Do you remove scrap cars?
Yes. DF offers scrap car removal from collection to the scrappage yard.

Choose Request Breakdown Assistance to send your location and vehicle details in a WhatsApp message directly to David, or call David on 083 043 4347.

DF Recovery operates 24 hours a day, including weekends. Call David to confirm availability and an arrival estimate for your job.
How much does recovery cost?
The quote depends on collection location, destination, vehicle type, access and the work involved. Ask David for the price before agreeing the collection.
How quickly can a driver reach me?
David gives an arrival estimate based on your location, traffic and current jobs. Call with your collection details to check availability.
Can you take my car to my own garage?
Tell David the garage or destination you want. Confirm it can receive the vehicle and give any opening hours, handover instructions or contact details.
Can you recover a car that will not start?
DF provides breakdown recovery and collection of non-running vehicles. Explain whether it can roll and steer so David can assess loading before setting out.
What if the wheels are locked or the vehicle cannot roll?
Tell David before booking. Locked wheels, steering faults, a stuck parking brake or missing keys can affect loading and the equipment needed. Suitability must be confirmed first.
Can my garage request a driver to collect a customer’s car?
Yes. Request a Collection Driver to message David directly on WhatsApp, or call David with the pickup address, vehicle details and your garage’s delivery address. David confirms availability, loading suitability and the quote.
Can DF transport vehicles between garages or dealerships?
DF offers vehicle transport and garage transfers. Give both addresses, opening hours and handover contacts, and say whether the vehicle starts, rolls and steers.
Can you collect a non-running car for our workshop?
Tell David the fault and whether the wheels or steering are locked. Send access photos where useful so he can assess the collection before agreeing the job.
Can a rental or fleet business arrange a vehicle collection?
Contact David with the vehicle, pickup contact and destination. Agree who authorises the move, the handover details and any collection or delivery window.
