Accident Vehicle Recovery

After a road accident, your vehicle may not be driveable.

We handle the recovery carefully to avoid any further damage and get your vehicle to the right place safely. You can also check our

24/7 Emergency Roadside Assistance

Sometimes a vehicle just needs a quick fix at the roadside. Our mobile technicians can deal with minor faults, help you restart the vehicle, or diagnose a problem and advise you on next steps. We come to you wherever you are on the M6 — at a junction, a service area, or a layby. You do not need to wait for a full recovery truck when a quick roadside fix is all you need.

Motorway Vehicle Recovery

Breaking down on the motorway is different from a normal road breakdown. There is no time to waste on a fast-moving road like the M6. Our motorway-trained recovery drivers know all the M6 junctions, hard shoulders, and emergency refuge areas. We work safely and quickly to get your vehicle off the carriageway and onto a safe recovery vehicle. We cover the full M6 from J1 in the Midlands to J45 near the Scottish border.

Need your car, van, or 4×4 transported from one city to another? We provide vehicle transportation services across the M6 corridor and across the whole of the UK. Whether you are moving from Birmingham to Carlisle or need a non-runner collected from Lancaster and delivered to Coventry, we can do it. We transport vehicles safely on our flatbed and transporter trucks.

Emergency Battery Jump Start and Battery Replacement

A flat battery is one of the most common reasons drivers call for help on the M6. Our mobile team carries the equipment to jump start your vehicle at the roadside. If the battery is too old or damaged to hold a charge, we also carry a range of replacement batteries and can fit a new one on the spot. This service works for cars, vans, and 4x4s. Visit our

Mobile Tyre Repair and New Tyre Fitting

A puncture or blowout on the M6 can happen to anyone. Our mobile tyre service means you do not have to struggle with a spare or wait hours for help. We come to your location, assess the tyre, and either repair it if possible or fit a new replacement tyre from our van stock. We carry tyres in common sizes for cars, vans, and 4x4s so most jobs can be done in one visit. See our

Drivers on the M6 deal with a wide range of breakdowns. Here are the most common issues our team handles on this motorway and its surrounding roads:

  • Flat batteries — especially in cold weather near Shap and the northern sections of the M6 around the Lake District and Cumbria
  • Tyre blowouts and punctures — the M6 is a high-speed motorway and tyre failures happen without warning, particularly near long stretches with heavy lorry traffic between Wigan and Preston
  • Engine overheating — often seen near the M6 Toll section and around Birmingham during congested periods
  • Fuel running out — it is surprisingly easy to misjudge fuel levels on a long motorway run, especially between Tebay and Penrith where services are spread out
  • Clutch or gearbox failure — particularly common in older vehicles on the hilly sections between J37 and J40 near Tebay
  • Accidents and collisions — the M6 between J17 and J19 near Crewe and Knutsford sees heavy traffic and frequent incidents
