Breakdown on the A40 / A41: SOS, 112, then repatriation #

Safety on the hard shoulder #

Hazard lights, high-vis vest, passengers out of the vehicle behind the crash barrier if possible. Do not stay in the carriageway. Give your precise position (marker post, direction, nearest exit).

SOS phone or 112 — not a private recovery operator first #

The initial evacuation goes through the approved circuit (SOS phone, 112, dispatch). An unapproved recovery operator must not “improvise” a motorway collection. See our motorway procedure page for the detail.

Only then: repatriation, garage, or onward transport with SkyRoute Auto (clear quote , destination of your choice).

Regulated tariff (approved operator) then a SkyRoute quote #

The first motorway collection is billed by the approved operator to a ministerial tariff (day / night-weekend, according to GVW). That is not the SkyRoute Auto grid. Be wary of a vehicle that arrives without being sent by dispatch.

SkyRoute Auto then handles repatriation (garage in Annemasse , the Genevois, Switzerland): quote according to /tarifs/, independent of the motorway fixed fee.

After evacuation #

Give the temporary drop-off location, the garage you want ( Annemasse , Genevois, Switzerland) and the condition of the vehicle. We organise the next step: towing , flatbed, and France–Switzerland if needed.

Who attends, and from where #

SkyRoute Auto is an independent breakdown, towing and transport provider, based at 74 bis Route d’Étrembières, 74100 Annemasse , France. For breakdown on the a40 / a41: sos, 112, then repatriation, the call comes through on a local number (⁦06 82 96 40 84⁩): not a national switchboard promising “20 minutes anywhere in France”. The slot we give depends on traffic, weather, access (surface, underground, snow) and the distance from Annemasse .

We remain outside insurers’ official networks. You can appoint us for breakdown on the a40 / a41: sos, 112, then repatriation, obtain an invoice, then submit the file to your roadside assistance: any reimbursement depends solely on your policy. Keep the case number if one already exists.

On a motorway or expressway, the initial recovery remains the approved circuit (SOS phone or 112, dispatch may be via sos-auto-moto.fr). SkyRoute Auto then handles repatriation or transport to a garage, home or Switzerland — see our motorway procedure . In town, a car park or a residence, you call us directly.

What we need for a useful quote #

To handle breakdown on the a40 / a41: sos, 112, then repatriation without a second trip: exact address (street, car park, floor, badge / intercom), make and model, manual or automatic gearbox, whether the vehicle still rolls, the destination you want, photos of the access and of the vehicle. Mention a high-voltage pack (hybrid / electric), a motorcycle, a van or a prestige car: the equipment is not the same.
