Recovery on the M40

The M40 through Warwickshire is fast, open and often carries heavy long-distance traffic, so a breakdown here needs a quick, calm response. We work the J12–J16 stretch daily — from Gaydon up to the M42 interchange — and can be with you promptly whether you’re on the hard shoulder or a slip road.

Warwick Services sits between J12 and J14, and much of the M40 here cuts through open countryside where a stranded vehicle is very exposed to fast-moving traffic. Our drivers are based minutes from J13 and J14 for Leamington and Warwick, so this is one of our quickest-response stretches.

Motorway Info

M40 recovery — FAQs

What should I do if I break down on the M40?
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 M40?
We send the nearest available driver towards your junction on the M40, covering the gaydon to solihull (j12–j16) from Gaydon to Solihull. Exact timing depends on where you are along the J12–J16 stretch and current traffic — call us for a live ETA before you book.
Which junctions of the M40 do you cover?
We cover the J12–J16 stretch, including J12 (Gaydon, B4451), J13 (Warwick, Leamington Spa, A452), J14 (Warwick, Leamington, A452), J15 (Warwick, Stratford, M40/A46) 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 M40?
Warwick Services sits between J12 and J14, and much of the M40 here cuts through open countryside where a stranded vehicle is very exposed to fast-moving traffic. Our drivers are based minutes from J13 and J14 for Leamington and Warwick, so this is one of our quickest-response stretches. The M40 also links to the M42, M6, which we cover too, along with local recovery in Royal Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Warwickshire.
Do you recover vehicles after an accident on the M40?
Yes. We handle accident recovery and non-runners on the M40, 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.
