HGV Recovery on the M5
Heavy vehicle incidents need heavy kit, rotators, heavy underlift units, and full traffic management. Our HGV teams recover rigids, artics and drawbar combinations up to 44 tonnes, handle cargo transfer where a load cannot be moved intact, and coordinate with National Highways to clear the carriageway safely.
The M5 runs 161 miles from West Bromwich (M6) to Exeter through West Midlands, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, with 31 junctions and service stations at Frankley, Strensham, Michaelwood and more. Summer Saturdays see extreme congestion southbound between Bristol and Exeter, often with delays of over an hour; the so-called 'M5 holiday crush' is a fixture of UK motoring. Wherever your lorry stops along that route, our nearest HGV recovery driver is dispatched from Bristol to reach you fast.

M5 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.”
