If you're reading this because you've just broken down on the M62 or M606: get yourself somewhere safe first — see our motorway breakdown safety guide for exactly how. Then come back to this if you want to know what happens next.
Step 1: You call or WhatsApp us
Tell us where you are. If you're on the hard shoulder of the M62, the orange marker posts every 100 metres give an exact reference number — the fastest way to describe your location precisely, particularly on the stretch where the M606 spur peels off toward the city centre, where lane changes come up quickly. If you've broken down closer to Bradford city centre, near the National Science and Media Museum, or out toward Halifax, Keighley or Shipley, a rough description and the nearest landmark or postcode is enough for us to work it out.
Step 2: We confirm what's needed and dispatch
Based on what's happened — a tyre, a flat battery, or something that needs towing — we confirm the right kind of help and dispatch from our Bradford station. For M62 and M606 breakdowns near Bradford we target a 45-minute response, though this depends on traffic and exactly where you are — the M606 spur can back up quickly where it feeds into the M62, and the Bradford ring road adds its own congestion at peak times.
Step 3: We assess on arrival
Once we're with you, we assess whether it's something fixable roadside — a tyre change or jump start, for example — or whether the vehicle needs towing to a garage. We'll always tell you which before starting any work, along with the price.
Step 4: Fixed on the spot, or recovered
If it's fixable there and then, we get you back on the road. If it needs towing, we recover the vehicle safely to a garage of your choice, or another location that works for you.
What we can't control
Motorway traffic on the M62 and M606, congestion on the Bradford ring road at peak times, and how many other jobs we're handling at the same time all genuinely affect timing — we won't pretend otherwise. What we can control is being straight with you about timing before we set off, rather than leaving you guessing.
