Recovery on the M1

The J17–J21 stretch of the M1 runs along our eastern edge, taking in the busy Catthorpe interchange where the M1, M6 and A14 meet, plus junction 20 for Lutterworth and Magna Park. We know these junctions well and respond quickly to breakdowns and non-runners along this corridor.

This stretch carries heavy HGV traffic to and from the DIRFT and Magna Park distribution hubs, and the rebuilt Catthorpe interchange (J19) — where the M1, M6 and A14 converge — can be disorienting in the dark or in bad weather. We know the junction layout and reach it fast from Rugby and Lutterworth.

Motorway Info

M1 recovery — FAQs

What should I do if I break down on the M1?

Get your vehicle onto the hard shoulder or into an emergency refuge area if you can, put your hazard lights on, and — where it’s safe — leave by the nearside door and wait behind the safety barrier, away from traffic. On a smart-motorway stretch with no hard shoulder, follow the signs and call 999 if you’re stranded in a live lane. Then call us on 07751 000 095 and we’ll come to you.

How quickly can you reach me on the M1?

We send the nearest available driver towards your junction on the M1, covering the rugby to leicester (j17–j21) from Rugby to Leicester. Exact timing depends on where you are along the J17–J21 stretch and current traffic — call us for a live ETA before you book.

Which junctions of the M1 do you cover?

We cover the J17–J21 stretch, including J17 (M45, Rugby, DIRFT), J18 (Rugby, Catthorpe, A5, DIRFT), J19 (Catthorpe interchange (M6 / A14)), J20 (Lutterworth, Magna Park, A4304) and more. Call us with your junction or the nearest driver-location marker post and we’ll confirm.

What service areas and routes connect to the M1?

Do you recover vehicles after an accident on the M1?

Yes. We handle accident recovery and non-runners on the M1, load damaged vehicles safely, and take them to your chosen garage, storage or home address anywhere in the UK. There’s no breakdown cover or membership needed — just a clear price agreed up front. Note that for a live-lane incident, the police or National Highways may direct which operator attends for safety.
