About M8 Recovery

We’ve been keeping Scotland moving since 2000. Family-run and proudly independent, M8 Recovery was founded on the belief that honest work, real customer care and a bit of elbow grease go a long way.


From humble beginnings with one truck, we’ve grown into one of Scotland’s most trusted recovery firms — still grounded, still personal, still ready to help.


M8 Recovery has been recognised for outstanding customer service and satisfaction.


Our fleet of tow trucks overseen by Transport Manager Alex Gillies M.I.L.T, cover Central Scotland and surrounding areas providing a safe and professional recovery service when you need it.


Our fleet ranges from service vans, slide beds, spec lifts, medium and full range of heavy recovery vehicles including our low loaders.


Customers can reach us 24/7 365 days of the year through our professional call centre.
