Recovery services in M2
Tow 2 Tow attends breakdowns on the M2 from the hard shoulder and refuge areas over the Medway Bridge to the open stretch beyond it. We provide breakdown recovery for mechanical failures, accident recovery on the carriageway itself, and jump starts for a battery that just needs a boost.
Beyond emergencies, we run vehicle transport between the Medway towns, Faversham and further afield, motorcycle recovery for bikes caught out on the open stretch east of the bridge, and secure storage if a car needs somewhere to sit while an insurer decides what happens next.
What we get called to in M2
The M2 is shorter and quieter than the M20, but the Medway Bridge crossing is a pinch point that backs up fast when anything stops on it. East of the bridge the motorway runs through open Kent countryside to Faversham, where it feeds the A2 and A299 towards Thanet, and Tow 2 Tow attends breakdowns anywhere along that whole stretch, not only at the services.
Hard shoulder & refuge areas over the bridge
We attend breakdowns on the M2 hard shoulder and the emergency refuge areas, including the Medway Bridge crossing itself where there is nowhere else to stop. Crews carry amber beacons and full insurance and are on call 24/7 for live-traffic jobs on this stretch of Kent.
Medway services
Medway services sits between junctions 4 and 5, close to the A249 turn-off for Sittingbourne. It is the only services on the whole M2, so it is the first place we look for a vehicle that has made it off the running lanes under its own power.
The recovery point and the run to Faversham
Once National Highways or the police have moved a vehicle to the recovery point on either side of the bridge, we collect from there. The eastern stretch to Brenley Corner has few junctions, so we also pick up from the slip roads and lay-bys around Faversham.
Local roads & trouble spots in M2
The M2 begins at junction 1 near Strood and crosses the Medway Bridge into Rochester before junction 3 serves Chatham and the A229 towards Maidstone. Medway services sits between junctions 4 and 5, close to the A249 turn-off for Sittingbourne and Sheerness. The motorway ends at junction 7, Brenley Corner, meeting the A2 and A299 Thanet Way outside Faversham — a long final stretch with the services as the only realistic stopping point.

Frequently asked questions about recovery in M2
What should I do if I break down in a live lane on the M2?
Call 999 and National Highways on 0300 123 5000, then get out of the vehicle and behind the barrier if it’s safe to do so. That call is about your safety, not ours. Once National Highways or the police have the lane protected, we recover the vehicle.
Can you reach me on the M2 hard shoulder?
Yes, including on the Medway Bridge itself where there is nowhere else to stop. Hard-shoulder and emergency-refuge-area breakdowns are routine M2 work for us. Tell us which side of the bridge you’re on and the nearest junction and we’ll head straight there.
Is there a service area on the M2?
Yes, Medway services, between junctions 4 and 5 near the A249. It is the only services on the route, but plenty of M2 jobs come from the hard shoulder or the bridge itself rather than the services.
Do you cover the M2 as far as Faversham?
Yes, the whole route from Strood to junction 7 at Brenley Corner, including the eastern stretch where junctions are few and far between. Tell us your exact location and the nearest junction number when you call, whether you’re on the hard shoulder or already at the services.
Can you collect a motorcycle from the M2?
Yes — motorcycle recovery covers the M2 the same as any other road we attend, hard shoulder included. Bikes are strapped upright with a front wheel chock, not laid down on the deck.
Neighbouring areas we cover
Recovery does not stop at a boundary. If your vehicle needs to go from here to anywhere else we cover, it is the same job and the same fixed price.
