A short route still needs an exact carriageway
The M602 serves the Salford and Eccles approach toward Manchester. Its connections with local roads mean a nearby address can describe a very different collection from a car stopped on the motorway itself. Tell us the road shown where you are, direction of travel and exact stopping place.
Around the Regent Road end and the Eccles approaches, explain whether the vehicle is on the main carriageway, a slip road or already off the motorway. This helps the operator plan a lawful approach without relying on a postcode that may point to the opposite side of the road.
From a motorway stop to a local garage
If you need delivery into Salford, Eccles, Trafford or Manchester, give the full receiving address or postcode. A workshop may need keys handed over or have a restricted entrance. Make sure it can receive the vehicle before choosing it as the destination.
A breakdown that has already been moved to an accessible car park or forecourt needs those new pickup details. Tell the team if police, traffic officers or another operator have moved the vehicle so the collection request reflects its current position.
Loading and passenger information
Share the vehicle make and model, transmission and whether it can run and drive for loading. Always mention damaged or locked wheels. If it does not drive, additional rolling, neutral and handbrake information helps assess equipment.
For a van, include the body size and whether it carries a load. Add passenger numbers and any accessibility needs. We check truck suitability, price and availability before accepting the recovery.
Stay with official instructions at an incident
If you cannot reach a place of relative safety and cannot leave the vehicle safely, stay belted in with hazard lights on and call 999 immediately for the police. Do not attempt motorway repairs or place a warning triangle. Any private collection must follow the instructions and restrictions at the scene.
Good to know before collection.
Can you collect from the M602 near Eccles?
We assess requests using the exact road, direction, location and vehicle condition. Truck availability and any incident restrictions must be checked before booking.
What if the car is now on Regent Road rather than the motorway?
Send the current street address or exact position and explain that it is off the motorway. The recovery plan needs the vehicle’s actual location.
Can I choose a Salford garage for delivery?
Yes, provide the full address or postcode and confirm opening and receiving arrangements. We assess the agreed route and loading requirements.
