24/7 Emergency Recovery — Call Now
+44 7424 498454The M1 through Leicestershire, the A46 western bypass and the A47 towards Peterborough are some of the busiest roads in the East Midlands. A breakdown on any of them is stressful and can be dangerous, so we get a truck to you fast and get you and your vehicle off the road safely.
When you call, tell us the road, the direction of travel, the nearest junction or marker post, what is wrong with the vehicle and where you want it taken. Your price is agreed on the phone before we set off — no surprises.
M1 Junction 20 — Lutterworth
Junction 20 links the M1 with the A4304 at Lutterworth and serves Magna Park and the southern edge of Leicestershire. We recover cars and vans from the carriageway, slip roads and the surrounding routes towards Market Harborough and Rugby.
M1 Junction 21 — Leicester / M69
Junction 21 is where the M1 meets the M69 and the A5460 into Leicester, beside Fosse Park and Leicester Forest East services. It is one of the busiest interchanges in the county and we cover it around the clock, including Enderby, Braunstone and Narborough Road.
M1 Junction 21A — Leicester North / A46
Junction 21A joins the M1 to the A46 Leicester western bypass at Kirby Muxloe. Breakdowns here often involve the tight slip roads, so we use our tilt-and-slide flatbeds to load safely and quickly. We cover Groby, Ratby, Anstey and Glenfield.
M1 Junction 22 — Markfield / Coalville
Junction 22 links the M1 with the A50 and A511 at Markfield, close to Markfield services. We recover vehicles towards Coalville, Bardon, Ellistown and Ibstock, and take them home, to a garage or anywhere in the UK.
M1 Junction 23 — Loughborough / Shepshed
Junction 23 serves Loughborough and Shepshed via the A512. We handle breakdowns, accidents and non-runners on the motorway, slip roads and nearby roads to Hathern, Charnwood and the university area.
A46 Leicestershire
The A46 runs from M1 Junction 21A around the north of Leicester past Anstey, Birstall, Syston and on towards Newark. Many stretches have no hard shoulder, so if you break down, get everyone out on the verge side behind the barrier, switch on hazards and call us.

A47 Leicestershire
The A47 runs east from Leicester through Thurnby, Houghton on the Hill and Billesdon towards Uppingham and Peterborough, and west towards Hinckley. It is a fast single-carriageway road for long stretches, so breakdowns need quick, careful recovery. We cover the whole Leicestershire stretch 24/7.

Stay safe while you wait
Pull onto the hard shoulder, an Emergency Area or a lay-by if you can. Switch on hazard lights, leave by the passenger side and wait behind the barrier. If you are stopped in a live lane, call 999. On smart motorway stretches, National Highways can close the lane — call 0300 123 5000. Never try repairs at the roadside.
