Car Recovery Macclesfield

Macclesfield is a market town in Cheshire East, sitting at the eastern edge of the Cheshire Plain against the western Pennines. We reach it in 45 to 55 minutes from Salford via the M60, M56, and then the A523 south from Poynton. This is a significant journey from our base but we cover the town because the roads around Macclesfield, particularly the moorland routes, leave drivers in isolated spots when breakdowns happen.

The A523 London Road is the main approach into Macclesfield from the north and carries commuter and commercial traffic connecting the town to Hazel Grove and Stockport. Breakdowns on the A523 between Poynton and the town centre are handled via our south Stockport to Macclesfield approach. The town centre on Chestergate and the streets around Macclesfield railway station are the main callout points within the town itself.

The A537 Cat and Fiddle Road is one of the most notorious roads in England for breakdowns and accidents. Running east from Macclesfield over the Pennines towards Buxton, the road climbs to over 1,500 feet and the summit is regularly affected by ice, snow, and fog when the rest of Cheshire is clear. Vehicle overheating on the long climb and brake overheating on the descent are common. We carry winching equipment for vehicles that have left the carriageway and know how to attend recoveries safely on this exposed road.

The A536 through the town centre connects Macclesfield to Congleton in the south and Broken Cross in the north. Hurdsfield industrial estate on the north-east side of the town is a significant employment site where van and commercial vehicle callouts happen during business hours. Tytherington to the north of the town is a residential area with a business park that generates additional daytime callouts.

Prestbury to the north of Macclesfield and Bollington to the north-east are affluent villages with narrow lanes and prestige vehicles. Our flatbed method is important here as many of the vehicles in these areas cannot be conventional-towed. Call 07553 322281 for car recovery in Macclesfield at any time.
