CMG provides HGV recovery and commercial vehicle recovery across the UK, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Our fleet attend everything from roadside breakdowns, accidents and overturned vehicles, and we can recover to any destination you choose. We attempt a roadside repair first, so your vehicle gets moving again wherever possible. One call to our 24-hour control centre at 0800 282 449 starts the job. CMG has recovered vehicles for UK operators since 1972. For cars, vans and motorcycles, see our vehicle recovery service.
How quickly does CMG attend an HGV breakdown?
Broken down vehicles cost money, so we deploy the nearest available asset immediately and prioritise a roadside repair to minimise your downtime.
Every CMG vehicle is GPS-tracked. You get real-time updates throughout the process and on your vehicle's status, which keeps your transport office in control rather than waiting on hold.
If the fault can be fixed at the roadside, we fix it. Our service vans carry an extensive range of spares, and non-stock parts can be sourced and delivered at any hour of the day or night.
CMG handles everything from light vans to HGVs to heavy plant.
Heavy recovery vehicles
Low loaders for buses and coaches, so no damage is caused during the recovery
Underlift recovery for damage-free lifting
Specialist winching for overturned, jack-knifed and off-road vehicles
Articulated lorries, rigids, buses, coaches, motorhomes, caravans and horse boxes
An International Operators Licence for 30 trucks and trailers
