Recovery matched to your vehicle
M62 car, van and accident recovery
M62 breakdown recovery
Vehicle transport after a mechanical fault, warning light, overheating problem, clutch or gearbox issue, puncture, battery problem or electrical failure when it is unsafe to continue.
M62 accident recovery
Accident-damaged vehicle recovery can be considered once police or traffic officers have made the scene safe. Describe steering, suspension, wheel and body damage before dispatch.
Non-runner vehicle towing
If the vehicle does not start or move, confirm whether it rolls, selects neutral and releases the handbrake so suitable winching and loading equipment can be checked.

Damaged car recovery

This Audi A4 is secured on a flatbed with visible front-end damage. Wheel condition, steering and loading access are checked before suitable M62 recovery equipment is arranged.

Ford Focus recovery in rainy conditions
This Ford Focus is secured beside a rain-soaked road. Accurate M62 location details and a safe stopping place are important before a flatbed is dispatched.
Low-profile car transport
Jaguar XE roadside flatbed recovery
Low-profile saloons need careful ramp alignment and clear loading information so an appropriate M62 recovery truck can be selected.
SUV recovery
Audi Q7 flatbed vehicle transport
Larger SUV recovery requests require the vehicle size, wheel condition and running status to be checked before M62 dispatch.
Evening recovery
Renault Clio recovery at dusk
Evening M62 requests still need the exact pickup point, destination and vehicle condition before a price and estimated arrival time can be confirmed.
Commercial van recovery
White panel van flatbed recovery
Van recovery is assessed using body length, load, vehicle weight and whether the van rolls safely for flatbed loading.
Compact van transport
Fiat Doblò commercial van recovery
Sharing the van make, model, load status and wheel condition helps identify suitable M62 recovery equipment before dispatch.
SUV vehicle transport
BMW X3 recovery from vehicle premises
For SUV recovery, wheel restraint, vehicle dimensions and safe access all form part of the loading assessment.
Roadside car recovery
Vauxhall Astra roadside recovery at sunset
Roadside recovery is quoted after checking traffic-side safety, the precise M62 location and whether the car can roll and steer.
Safe roadside recovery
Vauxhall Astra recovery from a road shoulder
If a vehicle stops beside the M62, Motorway Response first needs confirmation that it is away from a live lane and safe for private recovery.
All 10 photographs are genuine examples of recent Motorway Response flatbed transport work. Equipment and truck type depend on the vehicle, access, wheel condition and operator availability.
M62 recovery questions

What details are needed for an M62 recovery quote?
Send your eastbound or westbound direction, nearest junction or services, exact pickup position, destination, vehicle details, wheel condition and whether the vehicle drives, rolls and selects neutral.
Can you recover a vehicle with damaged wheels?
Often yes, but explain the damage before dispatch. Photos may be requested so suitable skates, winching equipment or another recovery method can be checked.
How quickly can an M62 recovery truck arrive?
An ETA is given only after checking a suitable operator's location and availability. Traffic, closures, scene safety and equipment requirements can affect arrival.
What should I do if I cannot reach a safe place?
Keep your hazards on, remain belted if you cannot safely leave the vehicle, call 999 and ask for the police. Do not wait in a live lane for private recovery.
