Car Breakdown Recovery on the M55

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 M55 runs 12 miles from Broughton (M6) to Blackpool through Lancashire, with 4 junctions and service stations at . Highly seasonal traffic with extreme peaks during Blackpool Illuminations (September to November) and summer bank holidays. Wherever your car stops along that route, our nearest car recovery driver is dispatched from Preston to reach you fast.

Car Breakdown Recovery at the M55's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M55 where we are called out most often, and where we keep car recovery resources close at hand:

Junction 4 (Blackpool terminus at Marton), the transition from motorway to the A583 urban road creates massive queues during Illuminations season and summer weekends; vehicles idle for up to an hour, causing overheating and battery drain; the junction simply cannot handle peak demand

Junction 1 (M6 interchange at Broughton), holiday traffic surging from the M6 onto the M55 creates eastbound congestion when returning; the merge is particularly problematic on Sunday evenings and bank holiday returns when tired drivers react slowly

Central section (Fylde plain exposure), the flat, treeless landscape offers zero wind protection; crosswinds from the Irish Sea buffet caravans and motorhomes; autumn and winter storms create dangerous conditions on the exposed carriageway
