When something goes wrong on the road, roadside assistance is the help that comes to you. Breakdown.lk provides fast, professional emergency roadside assistance across Sri Lanka, around the clock, on a single number that reaches the nearest crew. From a dead battery in a car park to a blowout on the highway, we handle the problems that leave drivers stranded — and we get you moving again with the least possible delay.
What roadside assistance includes
Roadside assistance covers every common problem that can stop a vehicle where it stands. Rather than making you find your way to a garage, a trained crew is dispatched to your exact location with the tools to solve the issue on the spot. Our emergency roadside assistance covers battery jump-starts, flat-tyre changes, emergency fuel delivery, lockout entry, and full recovery when a vehicle can’t be driven. It is the safety net every driver should have saved before they need it.
Why drivers choose Breakdown.lk
We built Breakdown.lk to be the roadside assistance service Sri Lankan drivers can actually rely on. That means genuine 24-hour cover, not an overnight answering machine; crews across the island rather than one depot in the city; the correct equipment for your vehicle on arrival; and a firm price agreed before any work starts. There is no membership scheme and no app — just one number that connects you to help fast.
Our roadside assistance services
- Battery jump-starts — the most frequent roadside call, usually fixed in minutes.
- Flat-tyre assistance — spare fitted, or the vehicle made safe to recover.
- Emergency fuel — delivered to get you to the nearest station.
- Vehicle lockout — safe entry when keys are locked inside.
- Roadside repair and diagnosis — quick fixes that get you driving again.
- Recovery and towing — when the vehicle needs to be moved to a workshop.
Roadside rescue when you need it most
The value of good roadside rescue shows at the worst moments — late at night, in bad weather, or far from home. That is exactly when many services quote long waits or simply don’t answer. Our crews operate every hour of every day, so a breakdown at 3am is treated with the same urgency as one at midday. When you call, you speak to someone who dispatches real help, gives you a live ETA, and stays reachable until the crew arrives.
How it works
Call or WhatsApp us with your location and a short description of the problem. We confirm the price, send the nearest crew, and keep you updated with a live ETA. On arrival, the crew fixes the issue on the spot where possible and only recovers the vehicle if it genuinely can’t be driven. Simple, fast, and no surprises on price.
What affects the price
We quote each job on its facts rather than a fixed list. The distance to reach you, the type of vehicle, and what the job needs all affect the price — a jump-start and a full recovery are very different pieces of work. You approve the price before we start, and there is no call-out fee if we can’t help.
Island-wide roadside service
Wherever you drive in Sri Lanka, our roadside service reaches you on one number. Save it now, because the best time to have roadside assistance is before the moment you need it.
Roadside assistance for cars, SUVs and vans
The kind of help you need often depends on what you drive. A compact car with a flat battery is a straightforward jump-start; a loaded van that has broken down needs different handling if it has to be moved; an SUV stuck off a wet verge may need winching rather than a simple tow. Our crews are equipped for the full range, and telling us your vehicle’s make and model when you call means we arrive ready for the specific job rather than having to return with different equipment.
Why 24-hour cover matters
Breakdowns cluster at inconvenient times — early-morning starts when a battery has died overnight, late-night drives home, and long weekend journeys. Many services advertise availability but route after-hours calls to a machine. Genuine round-the-clock roadside assistance means a real person answers, a real crew is dispatched, and you are not left waiting until morning. That reliability is the entire value of the service, and it is what we are built to deliver every hour of every day.
Staying safe until help arrives
When you are waiting for roadside assistance, your safety comes first. Pull as far off the road as possible, put on your hazard lights, and if it is safe, stand well away from traffic rather than beside the vehicle. On a fast road, that means behind any barrier. Share a clear location when you call — a WhatsApp pin is ideal, or a nearby junction or landmark. Keep your phone charged and reachable so the crew can reach you as they close in. These few steps keep you safe and help us reach you faster.
One number worth saving
The drivers who get help fastest are the ones who saved a number before they needed it. When something goes wrong, the last thing you want is to be searching for a service while stranded at the roadside. Saving Breakdown.lk now means that whatever happens — a dead battery, a flat, an empty tank, a lockout — you have one reliable number that reaches the nearest crew across Sri Lanka, day or night.
