Van Recovery on the M42
When a working van stops, the clock is on, every minute stranded is lost income and missed jobs. We prioritise van call-outs, recover panel vans, Lutons, Transits and Sprinters up to 3.5 tonnes, and get you and the vehicle moving to wherever you need to be.
The M42 runs 40 miles from Bromsgrove (M5) to Ashby-de-la-Zouch (A42) through Worcestershire, West Midlands, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, with 14 junctions and service stations at Tamworth.

M42 recovery overviewWhat Our Customers Say
“Broke down at 11pm on the M25 near the Wisley interchange. Called these guys and they had a recovery truck with me in under 40 minutes. Professional, friendly, and the price was exactly what they quoted on the phone. Genuinely saved my night.”
“Ran out of diesel like an idiot between Luton and Milton Keynes on the M1. Pulled onto the hard shoulder near Junction 10 and called them. They delivered 10 litres of diesel within the hour and even checked my tyre pressures while they were there. No judgement, just helpful.”
“My van broke down fully loaded heading north on the M6 past Stoke. Other companies quoted ridiculous prices or said they could not do it until morning. These guys came out at 2am with a flatbed and sorted everything. Will not use anyone else.”
