Recovery in Chesterfield, in practice

Chesterfield sits right on the working edge between South Yorkshire and Derbyshire, which is exactly the gap a lot of recovery firms leave. One will only come out from Sheffield, the next only works south of the town. We run the A61 and the M1 in both directions, so the town and everything around it is ordinary coverage, not an exception.

That takes in Brimington, Staveley, Hasland, Whittington and out towards Dronfield, Clay Cross and Bolsover, plus the roads that climb west into the Peak District where a stuck vehicle usually needs a winch rather than a tow rope.

If you are on the M1 near junction 29 or 30, give the junction number and the direction of travel when you ring, and stand well back from the carriageway while you wait.

Whatever has happened, it is one of the eight things on the service list — most often a straight recovery, a jump start or a winch pull-out.

While you wait

Broken down in Chesterfield? Do this first

Off the carriageway if it still moves. Hazards on. Everyone out through the left-hand doors and behind a barrier — not sat in the car, not stood beside it. Then ring 07394 784531 with the road, the postcode or a what3words reference. The full five steps are on the home page.

Chesterfield questions

Is Chesterfield too far for you to come out?
No. It is roughly seventeen miles down the M1 or the A61 from the Rotherham base, which makes it a routine run rather than a special trip. Chesterfield, Brimington, Staveley, Hasland and Whittington are all standard coverage, 24 hours a day.
Can you recover a car from the Peak District side of Chesterfield?
Yes, and that is where the winch earns its keep. The roads climbing west on the A619 and A632 have steep verges, walls and blind bends, so vehicles that leave the road there need pulling back under control rather than dragging.
Do you work the M1 around junctions 29 and 30?
Yes, both directions. Give the junction number, the direction you were heading and the nearest marker post when you ring 07394 784531, then get everyone behind the barrier and well back from the carriageway while you wait.
