Breaking down in the UAE is stressful — whether you are stuck on Sheikh Zayed Road at rush hour, stranded on the Abu Dhabi highway at 2am, or your battery dies in a Sharjah car park in 45°C summer heat. We send a licensed flatbed truck to you in 30 minutes or less, across all four emirates, any time of day or night.
Our drivers know UAE roads — the E11, E66, E311, and every industrial area in between. You get an upfront price before we arrive. No hidden charges, no surprises.
Every emirate drives differently, and a recovery company that only knows Dubai will struggle once you cross into Sharjah industrial back-roads or Abu Dhabi desert-edge communities. That is why we run separate, locally based teams in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman rather than dispatching every job from one central depot — a Sharjah truck stays in Sharjah, an Abu Dhabi truck stays in Abu Dhabi, and that is the single biggest reason our response times stay under 30–40 minutes instead of the 60-plus minutes a single-city operator would need to reach you from across the country.

Roadside assistance fixes the problem where your car is standing — a jumpstart, a tyre change, an unlock, or a small amount of emergency fuel — and gets you moving again without a tow. Recovery towing is used when the fault cannot be fixed on the spot, such as a mechanical failure, an accident, or a battery that will not hold charge even after a jump, and the car needs to be loaded onto a flatbed and taken to a workshop or a safe location. Most of our UAE call-outs start as one and can turn into the other — our technician will always tell you honestly if a roadside fix is not going to hold, rather than leaving you stranded again a few kilometres down the road.
UAE conditions put unusual stress on vehicles compared to milder climates. Summer ambient temperatures above 45°C for months at a time shorten battery life dramatically, tyre pressures shift with heat and can lead to blowouts on long highway stretches, and sand or dust ingress in industrial and desert-fringe areas accelerates wear on filters and belts. This is why battery failure and tyre blowouts make up the large majority of our call-outs between May and September, while the rest of the year sees a more even mix of mechanical faults, accidents and lockouts.
All our trucks are flatbed, not wheel-lift or chain-tow — this matters because a flatbed carries the entire vehicle with zero ground contact, which is essential for lowered cars, luxury vehicles, and any car with existing suspension or body damage. Wheel-lift towing, still used by some cheaper operators, drags two wheels along the road and can cause drivetrain damage on all-wheel-drive vehicles, which are common across the UAE.
Share your location — a pin or landmark works. We confirm your ETA and give you a fixed price immediately.
The nearest flatbed truck in your area heads to you. Average arrival: 30 minutes across UAE.
Towed safely to any workshop, or fixed on the spot (battery, tyre, fuel). You pay the agreed price — nothing more.
Your car sits on the flatbed — no ground contact, no drag damage. Works for all vehicles including lowered and luxury cars.
UAE heat kills car batteries fast. We jumpstart on-site or fit a new battery at your location — no tow needed.
Flat tyre on a highway or in a car park? We fit your spare or source a replacement tyre and fit it where you are.
Ran out of petrol or diesel on a UAE highway? We deliver enough fuel to get you to the nearest station — no tow needed.
Locked your keys inside? We open your car without damage — no broken windows, no scratched doors.
Soft-strap specialist flatbeds with experienced handlers for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Porsche and all supercars.
All bikes — cruisers, sports bikes, scooters — recovered with dedicated motorcycle-safe equipment.
Pickups and vans up to 3.5T recovered across all UAE emirates with appropriate flatbed size.
Long UAE highways — the E11 between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the E311 ring road, the E66 towards Al Ain — carry fast, consistent traffic even late at night, and a stopped car in a live lane or poorly lit shoulder is a genuine hazard. Pull as far onto the hard shoulder as possible, keep hazard lights on, stay inside the vehicle with your seatbelt fastened rather than standing behind the car, and call us with the nearest kilometre marker, exit number or overhead sign. Night highway recoveries are one of our most common call types and are always treated as priority dispatch.
A battery that dies in a shaded basement car park is a different job from one that dies in an open villa driveway at 2pm in July, where surface and under-bonnet temperatures run well above the ambient reading. We carry heat-rated replacement batteries suited to UAE conditions on every van so a full replacement, not just a temporary jump, is available on the same visit if your battery is beyond reviving.
If your car is not driveable after a collision, our flatbed trucks recover it directly to your preferred workshop, insurance-approved garage or home, with careful loading that avoids further damage to bumpers, bodywork or already-compromised suspension. We can also assist with basic accident-scene safety — hazard triangles and positioning — while you wait, particularly on fast-moving roads.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi high-rise buildings frequently have multi-level basement parking with height restrictions our flatbed cannot enter. In these cases we bring the vehicle up to street level or a loading bay using a low-profile dolly before loading it outside — a routine part of the job in dense areas like Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Abu Dhabi Corniche towers, priced the same as a standard call-out.
Whether it happened at a mall car park, a villa driveway or a highway rest stop, our technicians open the vast majority of modern vehicles without damaging the door, window seal or lock mechanism. For vehicles with fully electronic or biometric locking systems, we will tell you upfront if a dealer-level tool is required rather than attempting something that risks damage.

The UAE has a large number of recovery operators, and the difference between a smooth experience and a frustrating one usually comes down to a few basics. Confirm the company is licensed to operate in the emirate you need — some Dubai-registered operators are not properly set up to cover Abu Dhabi or Sharjah call-outs and simply sub-contract, adding delay and reducing accountability. Ask whether the price is fixed before work starts, since a legitimate operator will always confirm cost before dispatch, not after arrival. Check whether they use flatbed trucks as standard rather than wheel-lift, particularly if your vehicle is lowered, all-wheel-drive or a luxury model. And be wary of promises that sound too precise for peak summer demand — an honest same-day or 30-to-40-minute window is a more realistic commitment than an exact-minute guarantee.
"My car broke down on the Abu Dhabi highway at 1am — complete engine failure. Called Contractors UAE, they arrived in 35 minutes, loaded it on a flatbed, and towed it to a Dubai workshop. Zero drama, upfront price. Will call them again."
Abdullah K. — Abu Dhabi–Dubai tow, 1am"Battery died in Sharjah Industrial Area on a Thursday evening. They were there in 28 minutes, jumped it, tested it, and told me the battery was still healthy — no upsell. Honest and fast."
Ravi S. — Battery jumpstart, Sharjah"Locked my keys inside at Dubai Marina car park at midnight. Twenty minutes later the technician was there and opened it without a scratch. Fastest AED 150 I ever spent."
Nisha P. — Car unlocking, Dubai MarinaWe have dedicated teams based in each emirate — not a single Dubai dispatch centre serving everywhere. Sharjah trucks cover Sharjah, Abu Dhabi trucks cover Abu Dhabi. That is how we keep response times under 30–40 minutes instead of 60+ minutes.
Just your location (or nearest landmark) and your vehicle make. That is enough for us to dispatch and give you a fixed price. If you can drop a WhatsApp pin, even better — it saves time explaining.
Yes. We use soft-strap flatbeds for all luxury and sports cars. No wheel-lift, no chains on the body. If you have a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche or similar, mention it when you call so we confirm the right truck is dispatched.
Yes — intercity towing across all UAE routes is a standard service. The most common are Dubai–Abu Dhabi, Dubai–Sharjah, and Ajman–Dubai. You get a firm price before the truck leaves — typically AED 350–900 depending on distance.
Roadside assistance fixes the problem where you are — a jumpstart, tyre change, unlock or fuel delivery — with no tow needed. A full tow is used when the car cannot be driven safely, such as a mechanical failure, accident damage, or a battery that will not hold charge even after a jump. We will always tell you honestly which one your situation needs.
Yes. Many Dubai and Abu Dhabi buildings have basement parking with height restrictions our flatbed cannot enter. In these cases we bring the vehicle up to street level or a loading bay using a low-profile dolly, then load it outside — this is routine in high-density areas and does not change the quoted price.
Not when done correctly. All our recoveries use flatbed trucks, meaning the entire vehicle is lifted with zero ground contact — no wheels dragged, no chains on the bodywork. This is safe for lowered cars, all-wheel-drive vehicles and luxury models alike.
Our technician tests the battery on-site. If a jumpstart brings it back and holds, that may be enough to get you moving; if the battery cannot hold charge, we carry replacement batteries suited to UAE heat and can fit one on the same visit without a tow.
Our pricing is confirmed upfront regardless of time of day, though very high-demand periods such as peak summer weekends can occasionally carry a modest premium, which we always disclose before dispatch, never after the job is done.
Yes. An EV should only ever be towed on a flatbed, never wheel-lift, since dragging the drive wheels can damage the electric motor. If you have simply run out of charge rather than experienced a fault, we can also advise on the nearest charging point before committing to a full tow.
