About Motorway Breakdown Recovery
Operated by Citygrip LTD, Motorway Breakdown Recovery is one of the UK's leading 24/7 vehicle recovery services, providing professional breakdown assistance on every motorway in the United Kingdom.
Who We Are
Motorway Breakdown Recovery, a trading name of Citygrip LTD, operates one of the largest independent vehicle recovery networks in the United Kingdom. Based in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, we coordinate a network of over 1,000 professional recovery drivers positioned across every UK motorway.
Our mission is simple: when you break down on a motorway, we get to you fast, treat you with respect, and either fix the problem at the roadside or safely transport your vehicle to your chosen destination. Every call is answered by real people who understand that a motorway breakdown is stressful and often dangerous.
We provide over 40 specialist recovery and roadside assistance services, from a simple jump start to complex multi-vehicle accident recovery. Our drivers are fully trained, insured, and equipped with the latest recovery equipment. Whether you drive a car, van, motorcycle, HGV, coach, or electric vehicle, we have the right equipment and expertise.
Our Coverage
We cover all 50+ UK motorways including the M1, M25, M6, M4, M5, M62, M40, M42, M60, M8, M74, M90, and every other M-road in England, Scotland, and Wales. Our drivers are strategically positioned to minimise response times, with most callouts attended within 30-60 minutes.
No matter which junction, service station, hard shoulder, or slip road you find yourself stranded on, our team will reach you. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year — including all bank holidays and throughout the night.
Our Commitment
We believe in transparent, honest pricing with no hidden fees. Every customer receives a clear quote before any work begins. We do not charge extra for unsociable hours, weekends, or bank holidays. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Safety is our top priority. All our drivers carry full safety equipment for motorway operations, including high-visibility clothing, traffic management signs, and vehicle lighting systems. We follow all Highways England and National Highways guidelines for motorway recovery operations.
