Motorway Recovery
In Birmingham — What You Need To Know
Six things every driver stranded on a Birmingham motorway should understand before help arrives.
Stay Safe On
The Hard Shoulder
Get as far onto the hard shoulder as possible, hazards on, exit via the passenger side and stand behind the barrier while you wait.
Highways England
Coordination
Motorway attendance requires Highways England notification on every callout — this keeps traffic management aware of both vehicles on the carriageway.
Spaghetti Junction
& The M6
The Gravelly Hill Interchange is Birmingham's busiest recovery corridor — our operators know the stacked carriageway layout.
Smart Motorway
Sections
Sections of the M6 run as smart motorway with emergency refuge areas instead of a continuous hard shoulder — we follow the red X lane closure protocol.
All Vehicle Types
Attended
Car, van or HGV — the same fast response and Highways England coordination applies to every vehicle type.
Fixed Price
Motorway Recovery
No call-out fee. Fixed price quoted before dispatch, regardless of which Birmingham motorway you're on.
