24-hour tyre repair at the roadside
on the M42.
How far you drive on a flat on the M42 often decides whether it is a quick patch or a new tyre. The moment the pressure warning shows or the car starts to pull, ease off to a safe place and call. Caught early, even at 3am, a puncture on the M42 is usually one we can repair to BS AU 159 rather than replace.
Keep going on a soft tyre and the sidewall grinds against the road until a repair is no longer safe, so stopping promptly is what saves it. Get clear of traffic first, into an emergency area or off at the next junction, and never sit in a live lane. On a motorway stand behind the barrier if you can. Then we come to you and repair the tyre where it stands.
If the tyre has already run flat or the damage is in the sidewall, we will be honest that a patch will not hold and fit a replacement instead. Either way the cost, including any small out-of-hours supplement, is agreed before we set out, with nothing to pay up front.
- ✓Stop early, save the tyre: a prompt call on the M42 is usually repairable
- ✓Patched to BS AU 159: a proper internal repair at any hour
- ✓Honest replacement when needed: run-flat or sidewall damage gets a new tyre
- ✓Nothing to pay to book: a fitter to the M42 day or night, around 60 minutes
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 repair the tyre on the spot rather than leave you waiting until a garage opens.

"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."

M42 FAQs
24 Hour Tyre Repair on the M42, answered.
Does driving on the flat change whether you can repair my tyre on M42?
Yes, a great deal. A puncture is most repairable the moment it happens, and every mile on a soft tyre breaks down the sidewall until a patch is no longer safe. Ease off to a safe place as soon as you notice it, and the chance of a repair rather than a replacement is far higher.
Can you really patch a puncture on the M42 in the small hours?
Yes. The repair service runs day and night, so a fitter can come out to the M42 at 3am just as readily as at midday. Provided you have stopped somewhere safe and the damage is repairable, we take the wheel off, patch it to BS AU 159 and rebalance it there and then, subject to a fitter being free.
What should I do to stay safe while I wait on M42?
Get yourself and any passengers away from moving traffic first. Pull into an emergency area or the hard shoulder, or leave at the next junction, and never remain in a live lane. On a motorway stand behind the barrier. If you are stuck where you cannot move to safety, ring 999 or National Highways on 0300 123 5000, then call us.
Will an out-of-hours job on the M42 cost more?
There is a small out-of-hours supplement for nights, weekends and bank holidays, made clear when we call you back. There is nothing to pay up front, and you will know the price for a repair, or a replacement if one is needed, before we start.
How soon can a fitter get to me on the M42?
We aim to reach you within about an hour wherever we can, with real 24-hour cover across the routes we serve. Give us your direction of travel and the nearest junction or marker post so we can find you quickly, and read out the tyre size in case a replacement turns out to be the safer call.
