Car Breakdown Recovery on the M48

A car that loses power, overheats, or suffers a blowout on a fast-moving carriageway needs to be cleared off the hard shoulder quickly and safely. Our drivers carry diagnostic kit and jump packs for a roadside fix where one is possible, and a flatbed when the car needs to go to a garage, your home, or a dealership.

The M48 runs 5 miles from Aust, South Gloucestershire to Chepstow, Monmouthshire through South Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire, with 3 junctions and service stations at . Generally light traffic, but volumes increase significantly when the M4 Second Severn Crossing is closed due to weather. Wherever your car stops along that route, our nearest car recovery driver is dispatched from Bristol to reach you fast.

Why cars need car recovery on the M48

From our call-out data on the M48, the issues that most often leave drivers needing recovery on this route are:

Overheating in queueing traffic when the bridge is partially closed
Crosswind incidents on the bridge deck, especially for high-sided vehicles

Car Breakdown Recovery at the M48's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M48 where we are called out most often, and where we keep car recovery resources close at hand:

Severn Bridge deck (between Junctions 1 and 2), extreme crosswinds cause high-sided vehicle incidents; vehicles caught by sudden gusts can be forced into bridge barriers; the exposed bridge deck creates ice in winter before surrounding roads

Junction 1 Aust approach, when the bridge is partially or fully closed, traffic queues here for hours; overheating from stationary vehicles and fuel starvation from unexpected delays are common during closure events

Beachley Viaduct approach (Welsh side), the long approach viaduct across the flood plain is almost as exposed as the bridge itself; crosswind incidents on the viaduct often precede bridge closures
