Motorway Recovery in Manchester

Broken down on a motorway near Manchester? Get safe first — hazards on, off the carriageway, everyone out of the car and behind the barrier — then call Manchester Breakdown Recovery. We recover vehicles from the M60, M62, M56, M61 and M6, 24 hours a day. Call or WhatsApp 07725 943641.

A motorway breakdown is the one place where what you do in the first two minutes matters more than anything else. Get yourself safe — off the carriageway, out of the car, behind the barrier — and only then think about the vehicle. The car can be recovered; you cannot be replaced.

Once you are safe, call or WhatsApp 07725 943641. Tell us the motorway, the direction of travel and the nearest junction or marker post, and we will arrange the recovery with a clear quote.

Motorway Breakdown: Get Safe First

This follows the Highway Code order — go left, get safe, get help:

  • If you can, leave at the next exit or pull into a service area
  • Otherwise pull left onto the hard shoulder or into an emergency area, stopping as far left as possible with the wheels turned left
  • Hazards on — and sidelights if it is dark
  • Get out by the doors furthest from the traffic, and take everyone with you
  • Get behind the safety barrier and stay well clear of the carriageway
  • Never place a warning triangle on a motorway
  • Call from a safe place — never attempt repairs in live lanes

Motorways We Cover

Our motorway recovery covers the M60 Manchester orbital, the M62 across the Pennines, the M56 towards the airport and Cheshire, the M61 towards Bolton and Preston, and the M6 past Wigan. Wherever you have stopped on these roads, tell us the junction or marker post number and we will find you.

How We Recover From the Motorway

Motorway recoveries are planned around safety: we confirm your exact position, agree the destination — usually your home or garage — and quote clearly before dispatch. The vehicle is loaded away from live traffic and taken straight where you asked.

I have broken down in a live lane with no hard shoulder — what do I do?

Hazards on, stay in the car with your seatbelt fastened, and call 999. Once you are safe, call or WhatsApp 07725 943641 and we will arrange the recovery.
