We have 50 years’ experience in the motor industry
Welcome to John Macadam and Son, the North West’s leading recovery, rescue and accident repair company.
We boast six successful depots across the area, including sites in Colne, Keighley, Blackpool, Morecambe, Carlisle and Ripon.
Recognised as One of the UK’s Best
We’re proud to share that Macadams Colne depot has been recognised at the 2025 British Bodyshop Awards, a prestigious event that celebrates excellence across the UK’s vehicle repair industry.
Handpicked by BMW to attend the Bodyshop of the Year Awards, we were honoured to achieve joint second place among all BMW-approved bodyshops nationwide. This recognition places us among the very best in the UK — a testament to the skill, dedication, and high standards that drive everything we do.
It’s a proud moment for the whole Macadams team and a reminder of our ongoing commitment to quality, safety, and outstanding customer care.

Our vision is to ensure your journey is as trouble-free and straightforward as possible, which is why we do everything we can do to make sure you are back on the road as quickly and safely as possible.
With over 50 years experience in the industry, our 24-hour professional recovery service includes HGV recovery, light commercial recovery, car recovery, and motorbikes; no recovery task is too little or too large and we are committed to providing a professional and unrivalled service for every customer, including the Emergency Services who rely on us daily.
Our trucks travel across the North West, recovering and rescuing broken down or damaged vehicles, servicing them on site, or even towing them to one of our industry awarded workshops to work on the repairs.

We take pride in fixing vehicles of all sizes, servicing them and carrying out safety checks, as well as taking on HGV repairs.
