Heavy Recovery

Our heavy recovery units are built for the toughest commercial vehicle recovery jobs. Whether it’s a jack-knifed artic or a bus breakdown in Glasgow, our certified operatives use modern heavy underlifts to recover your asset without causing secondary damage to bodywork or drivelines.

Low Loader & Plant Transport

Not everything can be towed. For plant machinery, tracked vehicles, or assets with severe suspension damage, our Low Loader fleet provides a "total lift" solution. We move construction equipment between sites in Glasgow, safely and legally.

Roadside Repair & Diagnostics

We prefer to get you moving over towing you away. Our roadside technicians in Glasgow carry diagnostic equipment, batteries, and air lines to fix common issues like air leaks and non-starts at the roadside, saving you the cost of a full recovery.

What Our Customers Say...

Excellent service from everyone I dealt with, from the initial driver who recovered my van to the staff in the office (Alison, many thanks) and the driver who returned my van, cannot fault the team...

We had a major breakdown in Clydebank yesterday. Once the RAC eventually contacted m8, they were in contact with us. Reassuring and knowledgeable (we had already been waiting 4 hours) they were excellent. Chris, the driver, was top man. Courteous, helpful and considerate. He is a credit to your company. His co-worker, Alan, immediately understood our situation and was as effortlessly helpful. Thank you so much. Brilliant service 👏. Bravo.


One year on, we are using M8 services again. This time broke down on motorway, scary. Once the AA had ordered the breakdown truck, M8 were there within the hour, brilliant. David was our driver, what a man! So helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. Once again, a credit to your company. Thank you so much. Bravo 👏 👏.

Alexander Sometimes Great

Time and traffic wait for no one, on a busy night the wait was long, but it was a pleasure to see the guy Gary who turned up knew his job very well. Undrivable car dropped off perfectly on a awkward driveway saving me alot of hassle. Great service.

Peter Hamilton

First class service from start to finish, the call handler was very professional and called me back with details of when to expect the recovery vehicle to arrive and the price. Ben, the recovery driver, was extremely pleasant and efficient, got my van on the truck in no time, and had me home without any hassle. Would recommend M8 recovery to anyone, and Ben is a credit to the company. 5-star treatment!

Would like to thank Daryl and Meghan for all their help tonight. Fast service ,polite, professional and went above and beyond at 2am! Many thanks again.

Diane Cropper

My wife came back from holiday yesterday and on way home from airport our car broke down. We called AA and they sent out M8 recovery. We were so pleased to see the recovery truck arrive. Out jumped Ben what a very helpful pleasant guy. Got our vehicle on the truck and got us home. Ben was excellent and would say an asset to M8 recovery team. Helped pinpoint fault at house and got it fixed next day. Big thanks to Ben just the type of guy you want to see coming to help you. Thanks M8 recovery Andrew P Maybole.

While on holiday with my family from the states and preparing to depart for the highlands, we ended up with two flats which threatened to ruin our trip. The car hire company approved for us to be towed to a tire place for repairs. Steve, our driver, was amazing. The location we were sent did not have tires in the size we needed. They could get them but we would need to wait three days. Steve could have dropped the car and been on his way considering he had done his part. But he didn’t. While AA was telling us to leave the car and taxi back to the airport to rent another car, Steve was making phone calls to find another location that could help us that day. He told us he wasn’t going to drop us off and leave us without a way to get tires. Steve found a location, drove us another 20 miles and made sure the tire place would be able to help us that day before he would drop the car and leave us. His kindness and generosity meant so much to me and my family. Thanks to Saint Steve we were able to continue with our holiday. My family and I will be forever grateful!

Michael

the only company that was able to help with my car. 1 year old car, stuck in park. Had to get it to the garage, they came along with their tank looking robot wars machine and lifted the car onto the truck. Thank you for doing this. Really nice guy. Didn't let me down.
