Tourist Breakdown Recovery
Every year, millions of people visit the Lake District and Cumbria, and not every journey goes to plan. Whether you’ve broken down on a mountain pass, your car won’t start after a day at Centre Parcs, or you’ve been caught in rising floodwater on a valley road, ALS Motor Group provides 24-hour recovery throughout the Lakes and across Cumbria.
We’re based in Carlisle, 20 miles from Penrith, and our recovery network covers the entire Lake District, from Windermere and Ambleside in the south to Keswick, Ullswater, and the northern fells. If you’re staying in the area and something goes wrong with your vehicle, we can reach you.
Centre Parcs Whinfell Forest is one of the most visited destinations in the North of England, and it sits right in our operating area. If you’ve broken down on the way in or out, or your car won’t start after a stay, we’re a short drive away. The A66 and M6 through Penrith are routes we cover daily.
Kirkstone Pass, Honister, Wrynose, Hardknott – these roads are spectacular, but a breakdown here is particularly stressful. We’ve recovered vehicles from all of them. If you’re stuck on a remote road and mobile signal is limited, try to get your location across as best you can and we’ll come to find you.
In autumn and winter especially, many Lake District valley roads flood without much warning. If you’ve encountered floodwater or your vehicle has been damaged by it, don’t attempt to restart the engine. Call us on 01228 672084 and we’ll take it from there.
If you’re visiting from outside the region and your vehicle needs work beyond a roadside fix, we can recover it to our Carlisle garage for diagnostics and repairs, or transport it to your home area if that makes more sense. We’ll quote clearly and let you decide.
Call us on 01228 672084 –Â 24 hours, every day of the year
