REAL FASTER INTERVENTION

Our interventions:

16 September 2026

Helping a customer with a ‘Smile’, that makes us happy!

Smiling Barista called us this morning at 9.00, or how the start of our story began: ‘Smile and coffee’.

Smiling Barista’s Fiat Ducato loaded onto Faster’s lorry

Unfortunately no smiling faces among the staff of Smiling Barista. The Antwerp mobile coffee team could not get their Fiat Ducato going. The ignition key would not turn and panic broke out at the thought of having to call in an expensive recovery truck with a crane to get them out of trouble.

Read the full story

Did you know that… a tow with a crane is the most expensive form of breakdown assistance there is, because the vehicle actually has to be lifted? Of course nobody is happy at that thought.

They asked for our help and within half an hour we were on site with a brainstorm of smart and cheaper solutions in our heads. Through our years of experience we know that the most expensive solution is not always the fastest and best!

The ‘magic red lever’ in the Fiat Ducato

We would like to spare you the technical story of the ‘magic red lever’, but (thanks to our necessary knowledge) we got the car into neutral despite the blocked ignition. And this without needing a crane! From then on the Fiat Ducato could be towed in the classic and cheaper way. We took the van straight to the garage where the ignition lock could be repaired.

Through our years of experience we know that the most expensive solution is not always the fastest and best!

Mission accomplished!

We can only say that this was an intervention with a ‘smile’. The problem-solving ability and technical knowledge of our team that looks for a fast, cheap and safe solution for you, that is us!

We provide breakdown services throughout the city of Antwerp, its neighbourhoods and districts.

Nothing is as irritating as a car that no longer starts after a day out. Whether you attended a concert in the AFAS Dome in Merksem or in the Roma in Borgerhout, visited the KMSKA (Antwerpen-Zuid) or Red Star Line (Eilandje), went shopping for an afternoon in Den Tir on the Kiel, went to see a football match at De Bosuil in Deurne or took in a film at Kinepolis on the Noorderlaan in Ekeren? In all these neighbourhoods and districts of Antwerp we come to get you going again.

Do you prefer a quiet outing, such as to Brialmont park in Berchem or the Sint-Anna beach on the left bank, and do you break down on the way? Call us!

Had an accident on one of the busy arteries in the city, such as the Deurnesebaan in Borsbeek, the de Zwaantjes junction in Hoboken, the Boomsesteenweg in Wilrijk or on one of the on- or off-ramps of the Scheldelaan in Berendrecht-Zandvliet-Lillo? You can count on us there too!

Besides the centre of Antwerp with its neighbourhoods and districts, we are also available to come and help you in the surrounding municipalities, such as Brasschaat, Edegem, Hemiksem, Kapellen, Mortsel, Schoten, Wommelgem and Zwijndrecht.

Owner: “The Ring around Antwerp, from the Kennedy tunnel to Ekeren, is part of my daily service area. So I also know that most breakdowns occur from the entrance of the Kennedy tunnel (coming from the E17) to the Deurne exit. In second place are the busy arteries such as the E17, A13 and A12.”

Faster: reliable and local

Faster stands for a personal, efficient and reliable approach. We listen to your request for help, make a diagnosis and advise a quality and affordable solution. In short: we make sure of fast execution to solve your problem.

The owner can be reached 24/7. Faster is a small independent towing service that can build on a lot of practical experience.

Owner: “I started working in the sector as a driver in 2022. I was fascinated by the work because every breakdown situation is so different: a different problem, a different customer, a different car, a different situation. Every time it was a challenge to offer the customer the best possible solution.”

Our services in and around Antwerp

From breakdown services to heavy and international transport.

We offer solutions for all kinds of problems. Our technical knowledge and problem-solving ability together form the right solution to your problem.

Breakdown assistance

Can’t get your vehicle going any more? Do you have a flat battery? Or a breakdown on the road? We come to help you quickly.

Towing

Breakdown or damage after an accident? Don’t worry about your vehicle! We take the immediate worries about your vehicle off your hands and take it safely to the desired destination.

Diagnosis

We listen to your problem and assess it. With the right diagnosis we can quickly get to work to offer a tailor-made solution.

Owner: “I started working at a company with little professional equipment, which sparked my creativity and improvisation to look for and find a solution for every problem.”

Transport

Looking for the right carrier? We are your partner for both national and international transport.

Vans

For problems with vans weighing less than 3.5 tonnes too, you can count on us.

Machines and forklifts

We do not only take care of passenger cars; transport of heavy or unusual material holds no secrets for us either.

Motorbikes and scooters

A vehicle on two wheels? That makes no difference to us. We also come to rescue two-wheelers.

Transport in and around the port of Antwerp: our trump card!

Shipping or exporting vehicles via the port of Antwerp happens every day. Vehicles leave there for or arrive from all parts of the world; not only African countries such as Libya, Senegal or Ghana play a role in this, but European and American countries also contribute to this traffic.

For this transport too, specifically for the port of Antwerp, we can be your reliable partner. It lies perfectly within our service area and with our knowledge and equipment we can certainly add value for you.

We look for the best value for money for you and are often cheaper than the big players in Antwerp.

FAQ or common requests for help.

Every situation is unique. We listen to you, analyse the situation and look for the appropriate solution. Some problems are unique, some occur more often.

Common requests for help:

Flat tyre

Driving on with a flat tyre is not always possible and can damage your vehicle. Often a direct transport to the tyre centre is the cheapest and most efficient solution. We are happy to help you further!

Flat battery and starting problems

Your car won’t start? That may be down to your battery. No worries, if it is safe and technically possible, we will get your car started again with a booster. Contact us!

Wrong fuel

It can happen to anyone, filling up with the wrong fuel! Driving on can do a lot of damage to your car. Call us, we offer various solutions.

Vehicle towed by city or police

Towed administratively after illegal parking? For this you need to find out which service did the towing and where the vehicle is. This is not a breakdown recovery service.

Broken down in or around the Kennedy tunnel?

Between the start of the Kennedy tunnel and the Deurne exit is where we have to come to the rescue of most customers. So don’t worry, we know the hotspots and get there as fast as possible to help you.

Fast breakdown recovery in Antwerp from 125 euros

Every intervention is unique. The price depends on the circumstances, location, urgency and type of vehicle and starts at 125 euros per intervention. Would you like a price quote? Fill in the form above or WhatsApp, and we will give you a fixed price in advance.

Owner: “I drive my own professional lorry and am surrounded by the right tools, but I always work with the mindset that every situation requires its own care and a specific personal approach.”

Safety first, then Faster.

It can get pretty busy in and around Antwerp. Have you broken down on the road? Then think first of your safety and that of your passengers. Make sure you are safe before you call us for help. Switch on your hazard lights. Put on your hi-vis vest. If possible, stand behind the crash barrier and place your warning triangle (if it is safe). Don’t busy yourself with the technical part. We take care of your vehicle. You take care of your safety.

Giving an accurate location saves a lot of time.

The roads and tunnels of Antwerp hold no secrets for us!

Our experience means that in our home base we know the arteries in and around the city. We also know that it is often very busy and dangerous, so only contact us when you are in a safe place.

Try to give your exact location as accurately as possible. The R1 is the Ring around Antwerp (to the south) and runs through, among others, the Kennedy tunnel, the Craeybeckx tunnels (towards the E19) and the Jan De Vos tunnel near Berchem. The R2 is the Ring around Antwerp (to the north) that runs through the port area and passes the Tijsmans, Beveren and Liefkenshoek tunnels. The Waasland tunnel runs under the Scheldt.

The main arteries in and around Antwerp are the E19 (Antwerp-Brussels-Netherlands), E313 (Antwerp-Hasselt-Liège), E34 (Antwerp-Turnhout-Eindhoven), E17 (Antwerp-Ghent) and A12 (Antwerp-Bergen op Zoom-Brussels).

Owner: “Antwerp is our home base. So we are quickly (15 to 30 minutes) on site!”
