M1 recovery
BookRecovery provides 24/7 recovery along the entire M1 (London to Leeds) — roughly 193 miles covering J1–J48. Broken down, had an accident or picked up a puncture on the hard shoulder? We get to you fast and move you and your vehicle to safety.
Fast help anywhere on the M1
The M1 runs through London, Luton, Northampton, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield and Leeds. Our recovery operators know the junctions, service areas and emergency refuges along this corridor, so we can reach you quickly whatever the time of day or night and take your vehicle wherever it needs to go.
On a live motorway, safety comes first: get behind the barrier, well away from traffic, and call us the moment you are clear. We recover cars, vans, non-runners and accident-damaged vehicles from the M1, fully insured, and can take you to a home, garage or onward destination of your choice.

M1 recovery — common questions
Do you cover the whole M1?
Yes. We recover vehicles along the full length of the M1 (London to Leeds), covering J1–J48 — around 193 miles. Tell us your nearest junction or marker post and we will come to you.
I have broken down on the M1 — what should I do?
Pull onto the hard shoulder or into an emergency refuge area if you can, put your hazards on, get everyone out of the vehicle and behind the safety barrier, then call 07400 400 954. Stay well away from live lanes while you wait for us.
Can you recover a non-running or accident-damaged car from the M1?
Yes. Our vehicles are winch-equipped, so we can load non-runners and accident-damaged cars that cannot drive. We will recover you from the M1 and take the vehicle to your chosen garage, home or destination.
