Safety on the M60 comes first
If your vehicle is still moving, aim for the next exit or an emergency refuge area rather than stopping in a live lane. If you must stop, get as far left as possible, put the hazards on, and leave the vehicle by the nearside door.
Wait behind the barrier and up the embankment where there is one — never in the vehicle and never on the carriageway side of the barrier. On smart motorway sections with no hard shoulder, call 999 first so the lane can be closed.
Junctions we work around most
Our base sits on the Stockport stretch, so J1 Stockport, J24 Denton, J25 Bredbury, J26 and J27 Portwood are our closest calls. We also work the western arc through J7–J12 and the northern junctions when the job allows.
Tell us your junction number and your direction of travel. On an orbital motorway that one detail is the difference between arriving in minutes and driving a full circuit.
What happens after we reach you
Motorway loading is done quickly and deliberately, with the truck positioned to shield the work where possible. Once the vehicle is secure we get off the network before discussing where it needs to go.
From there we can take you home, to your garage, or into Stockport Mechanics for diagnosis.

Questions
Recovery in the M60
Should I call 999 or a recovery company first on the M60?
If you are in a live lane, on a smart motorway section without a hard shoulder, or you feel unsafe, call 999 first. Once you are safe, call us and we will get a truck to you.
Should I stay in my car on the motorway?
No. Unless it is unsafe to get out — heavy traffic on the nearside, for example — leave through the nearside door and wait behind the barrier away from the vehicle.
Do you recover from the hard shoulder at night?
Yes, we operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including nights and bank holidays.
