Move to services only when it is genuinely safe
If the vehicle remains fully controllable and can legally be driven, reaching the next service area may provide a safer place for passengers and a simpler collection point. It can also reduce recovery time and cost because a truck can load away from live motorway traffic.
Stop as safely as possible if there are brake, steering, tyre, wheel, overheating, smoke, fuel, collision or severe warning-light concerns. Follow official motorway guidance and contact 999 or the road operator first whenever there is immediate danger.
Arrival from around 30 minutes
Where a suitable recovery truck is already nearby, arrival can be from around 30 minutes. Traffic, weather, motorway restrictions, the correct carriageway, vehicle condition and live driver availability all affect the checked ETA. We confirm a realistic estimate before dispatch rather than presenting 30 minutes as a guarantee.
