Motorways and connecting roads
Our road pages cover the M6, M5, M42, M40, M6 Toll and A38(M). The M6 Toll uses T-junction numbers, while the Aston Expressway is a motorway distinct from the A38 surface roads. State when you are on a slip road or connecting link rather than assuming the nearest town identifies the pickup.
Birmingham’s major A-road corridors
We also cover the A38, A34, A41, A45 and A456 approaches. Include the local street name: for example, Walsall Road and Stratford Road identify different parts of the A34. A postcode and entrance description are particularly useful when the vehicle is in a car park or business premises beside the route.
Safety before an online enquiry
If you cannot leave the vehicle safely or remain in immediate danger from traffic, keep your seat belt and hazard lights on and call 999 for police. Otherwise follow official guidance and wait away from moving traffic where safe. Never place a warning triangle on a motorway. The quote form does not provide traffic protection or emergency incident management.
Your questions, answered.
What information helps locate a motorway breakdown?
Give the road, direction, nearest junction and any location marker visible from safety. Add whether you are on a slip road, service area or main carriageway.
Does submitting the form dispatch a recovery truck?
No. The team checks suitable availability and the job details, then confirms the proposed service and price before a booking is agreed.
