The M48 motorway is an important cross-border route linking South Wales and South West England through the Severn Bridge corridor. It connects with the M4 near Magor and Chepstow on the Welsh side and near Aust, Pilning, Almondsbury and Bristol on the English side.

Breakdowns, punctures, flat batteries, overheating engines, clutch faults, gearbox issues, accident damage and warning lights can happen at any time on this route.
Our M48 motorway recovery service helps drivers connect with available recovery operators for emergency motorway towing, breakdown recovery, Severn Bridge recovery, accident recovery, roadside assistance, jump starts, van recovery and long-distance vehicle transport.

Emergency Motorway Towing & Vehicle Transport On The M48
If your vehicle cannot be repaired at the roadside, motorway towing or long-distance recovery may be required. We help drivers connect with available tow truck operators who can transport vehicles from the M48 motorway to homes, garages, dealerships, tyre shops, body shops, hotels, workplaces, auction sites and service centres. The M48 is especially important for drivers moving between Chepstow, Caldicot, Magor, Newport, Bristol, Thornbury, Patchway, Almondsbury and the wider South Wales and South West England area.
When requesting M48 recovery, always mention whether you are travelling eastbound or westbound, your nearest junction, whether your vehicle starts or rolls freely, whether it goes into neutral, whether the handbrake releases, whether you have keys available, whether there are flat tyres or wheel damage, and if specialist loading equipment may be needed. This helps recovery operators bring the correct truck and provide an accurate quote faster.

M48 Breakdown Safety Near Severn Bridge – What To Do If You Break Down
The M48 includes bridge sections, exposed road areas, slip roads and high-speed motorway traffic. If you break down on or near the M48, safety must come first. Try to leave the motorway at the nearest safe exit if your vehicle is still moving. If you cannot leave the motorway, move as far left as possible, switch on your hazard lights, and keep passengers away from live traffic where it is safe to do so.
Sign 1: Move To A Safe Place If Possible
If your vehicle can still move, leave the M48 at the nearest junction, service area, lay-by or safe stopping point. Stopping on a live motorway lane or bridge section can be extremely dangerous, especially during busy traffic, poor visibility, rain or strong winds.
Sign 2: Use Hazard Lights And Stay Away From Traffic
Switch on hazard lights immediately. If it is safe to exit, leave by the nearside door and move behind a barrier or away from traffic. Keep children, passengers and pets away from the carriageway. If you cannot exit safely, stay inside with your seatbelt on and call emergency services.
Sign 3: Send Exact Location For Fast Recovery
Send your nearest M48 junction, eastbound or westbound direction, road marker number if available, postcode if nearby, Google Maps pin or what3words location. A clear location helps recovery drivers reach you faster, especially around the Severn Bridge, Chepstow, Aust and Magor sections.
Sign 4: Confirm Vehicle Condition
Tell the driver if your car starts, rolls, goes into neutral, has locked wheels, has accident damage, has a flat tyre, has no keys, or needs skates. Correct details help the right recovery truck attend and reduce delays during loading.
Important Recovery Loading Advice For M48 Drivers
If you break down in a lay-by, service area, slip road or safe stopping area on the M48, try to leave a clear gap behind your vehicle where possible. A flatbed recovery truck usually needs space behind the broken down vehicle to stop, lower the ramps and line up safely for loading. Parking too close to a barrier, wall, traffic island or bridge structure can make recovery more difficult and slower.
