The airport corridor
The M56 runs from the M60 out past Manchester Airport towards Chester, so a large share of the vehicles on it are on a deadline. When people call us from here, the honest answer about timing matters more than anything else.
The airport spurs and J5 approaches are busy at all hours. Give us your junction, direction and whether you are on the main carriageway or a slip road.
Stopping safely
Use the hard shoulder or an emergency area, get out through the nearside door and stand behind the barrier. Do not attempt roadside repairs on the carriageway side of the vehicle.
If you have lost a tyre or the vehicle is undriveable in a live lane, call 999 before you call anyone else.
Airport-related recoveries
We also collect vehicles that have been left at Manchester Airport — a car that will not start in a long-stay car park after a fortnight away is a common call, and it is a straightforward job for us.
We can deliver the vehicle to your home or straight to a garage.
