Stuck on the M40? We're Already on Our Way.

The M40 doesn’t care what time it is. Tyres blow at 2am. Engines cut out between junctions. Accidents happen on the busiest stretches at the worst possible moments. That’s exactly why QuickTow 24/7 exists — to be the one number you call when everything goes wrong and you need someone there fast.

We cover the entire M40 corridor — from Junction 1 at Westway right through to Junction 15 near Warwick — plus every slip road, service area, and nearby postcode along the way. Oxford, High Wycombe, Banbury, Leamington Spa, Warwick — if you’re near the M40, we’re near you.

No membership needed. No call centre that puts you on hold for 40 minutes. No vague arrival window. Just a real person on the phone, a real ETA, and a trained recovery driver heading your way. That’s the QuickTow difference.

⚡ Average Response Time on the M40: 30–45 Minutes

We have recovery units positioned along the M40 route so when you call, we’re not starting from scratch. Our drivers know every junction, every layby, and every known breakdown hotspot on this road.

Every Service You Need, Right Here on the M40

Your car’s gone. Won’t move. Maybe it’s in the fast lane, maybe it’s on a slip road, maybe it’s wedged in a layby. Whatever the situation — we recover it safely. Our flatbed and wheel-lift trucks handle everything from hatchbacks to large SUVs and vans.

What we handle:

  • Motorway breakdown recovery on all M40 lanes
  • A-road and B-road recovery near M40 junctions
  • Vehicle recovery after mechanical failure
  • Recovery from laybys, service stations, and embankments
  • Long-distance tow to your home, garage, or dealership

We work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Christmas, bank holidays, 4am on a Sunday — doesn’t matter. You call, we come.

2. Accident Recovery

Accidents are traumatic enough without spending an hour trying to find someone to recover your vehicle. The moment the crash happens and everyone is safe, call QuickTow. We’re experienced in post-accident recovery — we handle damaged vehicles carefully, work alongside police and emergency services where needed, and get your car off the road without causing more damage.

After an accident, we can:

  • Safely recover non-driveable, damaged vehicles
  • Coordinate with police at scene if required
  • Tow your car to a repair garage, body shop, or storage
  • Document vehicle condition for insurance purposes
  • Help keep the scene clear and safe for other road users

We know the M40 accident blackspots — the merge at Junction 3, the tight exit at Junction 9, the high-speed sections near Cherwell Valley. Our drivers are trained for high-pressure, roadside scenarios. When you’re shaken up, you want calm, professional people around you. That’s us.

Dead batteries are the number one breakdown call-out in the UK — and they always happen at the worst time. Left your lights on at Cherwell Valley services? Parked up at Oxford Motorway Services and the car won’t start? QuickTow jumpstarts are fast, safe, and done right.

We carry professional-grade jump starter equipment suited for:

  • Standard petrol and diesel cars
  • Modern stop-start vehicles
  • Hybrids (we know which battery to jump and which not to)
  • Vans and light commercial vehicles

If the battery is genuinely dead and won’t hold charge, we won’t just jump it and leave you to break down again two junctions later. We’ll tell you honestly — and if it needs replacing, we can sort that too.

5. Mobile Tyre Fitting — No Garage Needed

Blowouts on motorways are dangerous and incredibly common. The M40’s mix of heavy lorry traffic and high speeds makes tyre failure a real risk — especially in summer heat or after debris on the road. When it happens, we come to you and fit the new tyre on the spot.

Our mobile tyre service covers:

  • Emergency blowout tyre replacement on the M40 hard shoulder
  • Puncture repair or full tyre replacement
  • All tyre sizes for cars, SUVs, and light vans
  • Correct fitting and torquing — not a rushed bodge job
  • Valve replacement and pressure check on all four wheels while we’re there

We stock a wide range of tyres in our vans. Budget, mid-range, and premium brands available. No appointment needed — call us, tell us your tyre size and location, and we’ll have it sorted faster than driving to any fitting centre.

Engine light on. Car making a noise you’ve never heard before. Clutch going soft. Oil warning flashing. Whatever your breakdown looks like, we come to you, assess the situation, and sort it fast.

Common M40 breakdowns we deal with every single week:

  • Engine overheating — especially in summer traffic near Oxford and High Wycombe
  • Clutch and gearbox failures
  • Fuel-related issues (yes, running out of fuel happens more than you’d think)
  • Electrical faults and battery failure
  • Alternator and starter motor issues
  • Cooling system failures

If we can’t fix it roadside, we tow it. Simple.
