Based in Wigan, Covering the North West

Where I Cover — 24/7 Breakdown Recovery

I'm Simon, and I run Breakdown Man from my base in Wigan. Whether you've broken down locally or you're stranded on the M6 near Preston, I'll come and get you — day or night, no call-out fee, no membership needed.

I Go Where You Need Me

When I started Breakdown Man, I wanted to keep things simple: one phone call, one bloke who actually turns up, and a fair price. I'm based in Wigan, but I cover a huge area — from Blackpool to Leeds, Liverpool to Sheffield, and everywhere in between.

I know the backroads, the shortcuts, and the quickest routes through rush-hour traffic. That local knowledge means I usually reach you in around 30 minutes — often quicker than the big national firms.
