24/7 Emergency Recovery — Call Now
+44 7424 498454A breakdown never happens at a convenient time — on the school run, on the way to a job, or late at night on the M1. MWR Recovery is based in Leicester, so when you call you're speaking to a local team whose trucks are already nearby, not a national call centre allocating your job to whoever is free.
Many faults can be sorted at the roadside — flat batteries, run-dry fuel tanks, punctures, blown fuses and stuck handbrakes. When the fault is more serious we load the vehicle onto a flatbed and take it wherever you want it to go: home, your usual garage, a dealership or a bodyshop.
Roadside assistance first
Our vans carry lithium jump packs, fuel cans, tyre kits, basic tooling and diagnostics. If a quick fix will get you moving safely, that's usually cheaper for you than a recovery and it's what we'll recommend.
If the fault is mechanical, electrical or safety-related, we'll tell you honestly that the vehicle needs to be recovered rather than patched up on a live road.
- Jump starts and battery testing
- Emergency fuel delivery
- Spare wheel and tyre fitting
- Onward flatbed recovery when needed
Full breakdown recovery across Leicestershire
When your vehicle genuinely can't be fixed at the scene, we recover it on a modern flatbed with all four wheels off the road — essential for automatics, four-wheel drives and electric vehicles. Passengers can ride in the truck cab, so nobody is left standing at the roadside.
We cover the whole of Leicester and Leicestershire, including Loughborough, Hinckley, Coalville, Melton Mowbray, Market Harborough, Wigston, Oadby, Syston, Enderby and Birstall, plus the M1, M69, A46 and A50 corridors.
- Cars, vans up to 3.5t and motorbikes
- Home, garage, dealership or bodyshop drop-off
- Motorway and dual-carriageway recovery, 24/7
- Passengers carried in the cab
What to do while you wait
Get the vehicle as far off the carriageway as you safely can, put your hazards on and, on a motorway or fast dual carriageway, get out on the passenger side and stand behind the barrier with any passengers and pets.
On a smart motorway, aim for the next emergency area and call National Highways on 0300 123 5000 so they can close the lane before we arrive.
No membership, no surprises
You only pay when you actually need us, and the price is agreed on the phone before dispatch — no waiting fees, no night surcharges hidden in the small print and no pressure to buy an annual policy.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a member?
No. We're a pay-as-you-go service — one call, one clear price agreed before we set off. There's no annual policy and no joining fee.
How quickly can you get to me in Leicester?
We're Leicester-based, so our trucks are already in the area. In most cases we aim to be with you within 15–25 minutes in the city, and we cover the whole of Leicestershire around the clock.
Can you fix my car at the roadside?
Often yes — flat batteries, fuel problems, punctures and simple electrical faults can usually be sorted where you are. Anything more serious is loaded and recovered instead.
Do you cover motorways like the M1, M69 and A46?
Yes, 24 hours a day. On a smart motorway, get to an emergency area if you can and call National Highways on 0300 123 5000 so the lane can be closed before we arrive.
What vehicles can you recover?
Cars, vans up to 3.5 tonnes and motorbikes. Our flatbed keeps all four wheels off the road, which is essential for automatics, four-wheel drives and electric vehicles.
How do I pay?
Card, bank transfer or cash on completion, with a receipt if you need one for insurance.
