Recovery enquiries for suitable M27 locations between the New Forest, Southampton, Fareham and Portsmouth.
The M27 links the New Forest and Southampton with Eastleigh, Fareham, Portsmouth and Havant. Traffic, junction layout and the side of the carriageway can make two nearby locations operationally very different.
State eastbound or westbound and the nearest numbered junction. If you are in a service area, emergency area or on a slip road, identify it clearly and say whether the vehicle is completely clear of moving traffic.
Private recovery can only be arranged when the vehicle is in a suitable and lawful collection position. Incident control, lane closures and police instructions take priority over any booking.
Confirm whether the vehicle starts, rolls, steers and has keys. Mention wheel, tyre, suspension, accident or fluid-leak concerns. If an official operator moves the vehicle, give us the final safe location rather than the original incident point.
The New Forest covers a wide area of towns, villages, heathland and coastal communities. Distances between places described as 'New Forest' can be substantial, and roaming animals, seasonal visitors and narrow roads require patient, accurate route planning.
