We can collect from safe areas near major M8 services including Harthill services and safe service areas, retail parks, petrol stations and lay-bys near Glasgow, Paisley, Livingston, Newbridge and Edinburgh. If your vehicle is already inside a services car park, it is usually safer and easier for a recovery truck to access than a live motorway lane.
What To Do If You Break Down On The M8
If you break down on the M8, safety comes first. Put hazard lights on, move left if safe, exit the vehicle from the passenger side where possible, stand behind a barrier, keep passengers away from traffic and call emergency services if there is immediate danger. Follow official National Highways breakdown advice.

Smart Motorway Lay-by Recovery Diagram
If your vehicle stops in a smart motorway emergency area or lay-by, try to leave enough clear space behind the vehicle for the recovery truck and ramps. A flatbed truck needs room to line up safely, lower the ramps and winch the vehicle on without blocking more space than needed.

Motorway Breakdown Safety Advice
If you break down on the M8, your safety is more important than the vehicle. Put your hazard lights on, move left or into an emergency refuge area if it is safe, leave the vehicle from the passenger side, keep everyone behind the safety barrier and away from traffic, and do not stand between your car and moving traffic. If there is danger, an accident, smoke, fire, injury, or you cannot get to a safe place, call 999 first. When you are safe, send your live location, M8 direction, junction number, vehicle details and drop-off postcode so the correct recovery truck can be arranged.
