About John Macadam & Son

John Macadam and Son is a recovery, rescue and accident repair company with depots across the North West and beyond, including Colne, Keighley, Blackpool, Carlisle and Ripon, and about 60 years in the motor industry. It handles accident repair and recovery rather than general servicing or MOTs. The 24-hour recovery service covers cars, motorbikes, light commercial vehicles and HGVs, with breakdown cover for commercial fleets, buses and coaches, and the recovery trucks are equipped to deal with accident damaged vehicles. The repair centre also works on damaged caravans and motorhomes. Fuel drain and a large selection of tyres from leading manufacturers are offered too. The Colne depot was recognised at the 2025 British Bodyshop Awards, and the business took joint second place among BMW approved bodyshops at the Bodyshop of the Year Awards.
