Breakdown Recovery & Car Recovery Shevington - 24/7 M6 J27
Car Recovery Shevington · Vehicle Recovery Shevington · Towing Shevington — 24/7
I'm Simon, and if you've broken down anywhere in Shevington I'll drop what I'm doing and head straight over. From my Wigan base it's a quick run up the M6 to J27, so I'm usually with you in 20–30 minutes — and there's no call-out fee, just one fair price agreed before I set off.
Breakdown recovery only — I don't move roadworthy cars from A to B or quote by the mile. More on what I do ›
Your Shevington Breakdown Man
I cover Shevington and the whole WN6 postcode, and I know these lanes properly — not from a map, from years of driving them. Whether you're stuck up at Shevington Moor, parked outside the shops in Shevington Vale, or down the hill toward Gathurst, you're on my patch. Standish Lower Ground too. When you call, you get me — the bloke who'll actually turn up.
Most jobs reach me off the A5209 — Miles Lane and Gathurst Road — or straight down the A49 from the north. My Iveco recovery truck runs a proper under-lift, so I can shift anything from a supermini to a heavy 4x4, an EV or a loaded van without a scratch. I look after Crooke Village and out toward Appley Bridge as well. Need a full breakdown recovery in Shevington? I've also got neighbouring Standish covered.
24/7 Breakdown Recovery Shevington
Roadside Recovery Shevington
Break down on Miles Lane through the middle of Shevington and it's awkward — narrow, busy with school traffic, nowhere sensible to stop. Ring me and I'll get to you fast, make the car safe, and have a proper look before anything else. Half the time it's something I can sort at the kerb and send you on your way. If it's not, the truck's right there and I'll lift it cleanly. No fuss, no waiting around for hours.
Vehicle Towing Shevington
Sometimes a car's just not going anywhere and it needs moving properly. I tow all over Shevington Moor and back down into the village, whether the gearbox has let go outside the retail units or a clutch has finally given up. Everything goes on the under-lift or the bed, strapped down the right way, so your motor arrives at the garage exactly how it left. Tell me where it's headed and I'll get it there — local garage or your own drive.
Breakdown Recovery Shevington
Cars pick the worst moments to quit — outside the shops in Shevington Vale on a wet Tuesday, engine dead, kids in the back. That's exactly when I want your call. I'll assess it there and then: a jump, a spare wheel, a tow, whatever it actually needs rather than an automatic drag to the nearest garage. My job is getting you and the vehicle sorted with the least hassle. You'll always know the price before I lift a spanner.
Roadside Assistance Shevington
Down by the canal basin at Crooke Village the parking's tight and the lanes are older than the cars on them. If you're stranded around there — flat tyre, dead battery, something rattling that shouldn't be — I'll come to you and try to fix it on the spot. Loads of breakdowns don't need a tow at all, just the right kit and someone who knows what they're doing. Save yourself the recovery bill where I can put it right roadside.
Mobile Tyre Fitting Shevington
Kerbed a wheel or picked up a nail near Gathurst station? Don't chance it on a skinny space-saver. I carry tyres and the gear to swap them wherever you've stopped — the station car park, a side street, your own driveway. I'll match your size, fit it, torque it up and check the others while I'm at it. It beats crawling to a fitter on a spare, and you're back on the road the same day without the drama.
Accident Recovery Shevington
A bump on the A49 toward Standish shakes you up, and the last thing you need is haggling over recovery. I'll get there quick, make the scene safe, sweep up the debris and load your vehicle carefully however bad it looks. I deal with the police and insurers calmly and store the car if it's a write-off waiting on assessment. One less thing for you to worry about while you sort yourself out and get everyone home.
Battery Services Shevington
Cold mornings around Standish Lower Ground are murder on tired batteries — turn the key and you get nothing but a click. I'll test yours properly, tell you straight whether it needs a charge or a replacement, and I carry common batteries on the truck so I can swap one there and then. No being sold a battery you don't need. If it's the alternator draining it instead, I'll spot that too before you're stuck again next week.
Put petrol in a diesel at the Appley Bridge filling station? It happens to careful people every day, so don't panic and definitely don't turn the key. Call me and leave it exactly where it is. I'll drain the wrong fuel safely, flush the system through and get the right stuff in, usually without any lasting harm to the engine. Catch it before you drive off and it's a bad afternoon, not a bad bill for a new fuel pump.
Jump Starts Shevington
Left the lights on at one of the towpath car parks along the Leeds–Liverpool Canal? A flat battery there is a lonely place, especially after dark. I'll come out, jump you properly with the right leads — no dodgy clamps chewing your terminals — and get the engine turning over again. Then I'll check why it went flat so you're not calling me back tomorrow. Quick, cheap and a lot less hassle than hunting round for a stranger with cables.
Motorway Recovery Shevington
The M6 at J27 is the busiest bit of tarmac near Shevington, and stopping on that hard shoulder is genuinely dangerous. If you're stuck there, get behind the barrier, ring me, and I'll be over fast because I'm only up the road. I know the junction, the slip roads and the safest way to load without holding up three lanes. I'll have you and the car off the motorway and somewhere safe before something else goes wrong.
Off Road Recovery Shevington
Slid off on the farm lanes past Dangerous Corner, or bogged down on a soft verge out toward the Douglas valley? I've got winches, straps and the know-how to recover a vehicle without wrecking it or churning up someone's field. Cars, 4x4s, even the odd horsebox — I'll get them back onto solid ground. Muddy tracks around Shevington catch people out after heavy rain, so if you've had a mishap off the beaten path, give me a shout.
Van Recovery Shevington
Tradesmen running vans off Gathurst Road can't afford a day stood still — a dead van is lost work and let-down customers. I recover Transits, Sprinters and the bigger Lutons, loaded or empty, and I'll do my best to get you rolling roadside first so the job still happens. If it has to be towed, I'll drop it wherever suits — your yard, the garage, the next site. I keep Shevington's self-employed lads moving, because I know what downtime costs.
Caravan Towing Shevington
Caravans and motorhomes are their own challenge, and plenty come to grief on the pull up the A5209 over toward Parbold Hill. If your outfit's broken an axle, blown a tyre or the tow car's died with the van still hitched, I've got the right equipment to move both safely. I'll recover you back to a site, a storage yard or home without jack-knifing the lot. Heading on toward Parbold or Standish, I cover the whole run.

Shevington's only a short run for me — usually 20–30 minutes door to door, quicker off-peak. From Wigan I come up the A49 or hop on the M6 to J27, so whether you're at Shevington Moor or down in Gathurst I'm not far away. I'll give you an honest ETA when you call, not a guess.
Yes — M6 J27 is right on Shevington's doorstep and one of my most common shouts. If you're stranded on the slip or the hard shoulder there, get to safety behind the barrier and call.

I'll move the outfit without damaging it and get it to a site, storage or home. Big or small, if it's on wheels around Shevington I'll shift it.
