24 Hour Mobile Tyre Fitting · M42

24-hour emergency tyre callout
on the M42.

Changing a wheel in the dark on the M42 is not something to attempt alone. Our night fitters arrive equipped for it, with work lamps and high-vis kit, and fit a new tyre once you are safely off the motorway, around the clock and every day of the year.

Get behind the barrier or into an emergency area first, well clear of moving traffic, then call. The fitter lights the working area and changes the tyre where you have stopped, torquing the wheel and checking pressures before you rejoin M42. It is new-tyre fitting, not a temporary repair.

Give us your nearest junction or marker post and the tyre size and we aim to reach you within the hour where traffic allows. Any small overnight or weekend supplement is quoted before we leave, and you pay nothing until the tyre is fitted.

  • Equipped for night work: floodlights and high-vis on M42
  • Off the motorway first: we fit only once you are clear of live traffic
  • Correctly refitted: torqued to spec, pressures checked before you go
  • Priced before we roll: supplement made clear up front, nothing to pay until fitted

About the M42

The road we cover.

The M42 curves around the east and south of Birmingham across 11 junctions, tying together the M5, M6 and M40. It serves Solihull, the NEC and Birmingham Airport at junction 6, meets the M6 at junctions 7 and 8 and the M40 at junction 3a, and continues to Tamworth at junction 10. It is a busy orbital route handling airport, exhibition and commuter traffic on the edge of Birmingham.

Wherever you've stopped along it, at any hour, we come to you and fix it on the spot rather than leave you waiting until morning.

"Life saver. Sudden puncture, hard-to-find tyre. They got back to me within 10 minutes and did a mobile tyre change."

"Outstanding service. From the moment I called to driving away with the tyre repaired was less than an hour, at 7pm on a Sunday while stranded on the M25."

"I had a flat tyre off the A40 and they sorted me out. The mobile van was quick to arrive and had the tyre swapped out within 20 minutes."

M42 FAQs

24 Hour Mobile Tyre Fitting on the M42, answered.

How do you fit a tyre safely in the dark on M42?
Every van is set up for night work with floodlights and high-vis gear. The fitter lights the working area and only begins once you are off the live carriageway, behind a barrier or in an emergency area. The wheel is torqued and pressures checked before you rejoin the motorway.
Can you find me on a long stretch of M42?
Yes. Give us your direction of travel and the nearest junction or marker post on M42 and we will locate you quickly, day or night. The clearer the location, the faster the fitter reaches you.
I am stuck in a live lane on the motorway, what should I do?
Do not attempt to change the tyre yourself in a live lane. Stay in the vehicle if it is not safe to get out, keep your seatbelt on and hazards flashing, and call 999 or National Highways on 0300 123 5000. Once you are in a safe spot off the carriageway, call us for the tyre.
Is it a new tyre, and how much is the night supplement?
It is a proper new tyre, mounted and balanced on the spot, not a temporary repair. Out-of-hours callouts add only a small supplement, and we state the full price before we leave. There is nothing to pay up front, so you settle once the tyre is fitted.
How soon can you get to me overnight?
Usually within the hour where traffic and distance allow, whatever the time. We carry tyres in the van, so once we reach your spot on M42 the change is quick and you are back on your way without a long wait.
