Live recovery drivers along the M6 right now, from junction 1 at Rugby up through Coventry, Birmingham, Walsall, Stafford, Stoke, Warrington, Preston, Lancaster and Carlisle, including Corley, Hilton Park, Norton Canes, Stafford, Keele, Sandbach, Knutsford, Charnock Richard, Lancaster, Burton-in-Kendal, Tebay and Southwaite services. Tap a number to see how many are near you, then open the app to see the drivers, how far away they are, and call the one you choose. No membership. No call centres. No payment to us.
Built for the moment you are stood at the roadside, so nothing gets in the way.
Allow location or type a postcode. The map shows every driver live nearby and how many miles away each one is.
Tap Call and speak to them directly. Agree the price between you before they set off.
Give the driver your six-digit code and follow them on the map, with a live arrival time, until they reach you.
So we check every driver, and the map only ever shows drivers who are actually out.
Driving licence, photo ID, insurance certificate and photographs of every truck, reviewed by our team. Nobody appears on the map until they pass.
Drivers share their position while they work. If a truck is on the map, it is out and reachable — not a listing last updated years ago.
Only customers who completed a job can leave a rating, and each one is looked at before it counts.
We are not in the middle of the payment. No commission, no booking fee, no membership — which is also why it stays cheaper than cover.
The M6 is the country's busiest long-distance route and one of the most likely motorways for a breakdown to happen on. It also has some of the hardest sections to break down in: the run through Birmingham, the climb over Shap and the stretch across the Lune Gorge each ask something different of you.
Managed motorway with no continuous hard shoulder and very heavy traffic. Emergency areas are the safe places, and the M6 Toll is a separate road entirely.
Exposed, high and cold. Weather changes quickly and a wait here is a serious one in winter.
Well covered by operators, with a driver usually close. Junction and direction are what they need.
Runs parallel to the M6 north east of Birmingham and is a different road with different access. Say which one you are on.
So it is worth a look at the ones next door too.
Get everyone out of the vehicle and behind the barrier if it is safe to do so, and stand well away from the traffic. On a smart motorway with no hard shoulder, use an emergency refuge area if you can reach one. If you are in a live lane and cannot get out safely, stay belted in with hazard lights on and call 999. Once you are safe, open the map and call a driver.
Yes, where they are insured and equipped to do so. Drivers along the M6 recover from the hard shoulder, refuge areas and services every day. If National Highways attend first they may move you to a safe place, from where any driver on the map can collect you.
You agree the price with the driver on the phone before they set off. RecoverQ adds nothing to it — no booking fee, no commission and no membership.
No. Open the map, see who is live, and call. If the driver takes the job you get a six-digit code and can watch them on their way.
Drivers along the M6 cover Rugby, Coventry, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Cannock, Stafford, Stoke-on-Trent, Crewe, Warrington, Wigan, Preston, Lancaster, Kendal, Penrith and Carlisle, and the roads that feed onto the motorway.
