M3 Breakdown Recovery

Broken down on the M3? We’re already on our way.

The M3 links London to Southampton and the south coast, carrying commuters, holiday traffic and freight down to the docks and the Isle of Wight ferries. The Farnborough stretch is now smart motorway with no permanent hard shoulder. K9 Recovery covers the whole M3 — all 59 miles, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. No membership, no call centre: our nearest driver moves when you call.

First: get yourself safe

• If you can still move, come off at the next exit or into an emergency refuge area (the orange bays) and stop there.
• On the smart-motorway stretch with no hard shoulder, get as far to the left as possible, hazards on, and leave by the left-hand door to stand behind the barrier if it’s safe.
• If you’re stuck in a live lane and can’t get clear, keep your seatbelt on, hazards on, and dial 999 — then call us.
• Once safe, call 07301 118118 — we’ll stay on the line and get a driver moving.

M3 recovery, every junction, every hour

• J1–J4a (Sunbury – Camberley): the M25 link at Sunbury and the smart-motorway stretch past Farnborough and Fleet services.
• J5–J8 (Hook – Popham): Hartley Wintney, Basingstoke (J6–7) and the A303 junction at Popham.
• J9–J11 (Winchester): the Twyford Down cutting — the dramatic chalk canyon south of Winchester that catches out overheating engines on the climb.
• J12–J14 (Eastleigh – Southampton): the M27 interchange and the run into Southampton and the docks.

What we recover on the M3

The honest answer: if it’s broken down, we can move it. Cars, vans and light commercials, caravans and motorhomes, horse boxes and livestock trailers, motorcycles, prestige, classic and supercars, 4x4s, taxis, minibuses, electric vehicles, trailers — and anything else on wheels. Onward transport to your home, your garage, or anywhere in the UK.

Not listed? Call us anyway. Any time, any place, any vehicle, any situation — that’s not a slogan, it’s how we operate.
