Damaged tyre sorted on the spot
Damaged tyre sorted on the spot
on the M6.
Hit a pothole or run over debris on the M6 and a tyre can be ruined in an instant, often with no bang to warn you. Our mobile team comes out along motorway routes, checks the casing where you are, and tells you plainly whether it can be saved or has to be swapped.
Get yourself out of danger first. Pull onto the hard shoulder, into an emergency refuge, or off at the next junction if the car will still roll, and stand well back from the traffic while you call. Never inspect or change a tyre in a live lane on the M6, and if you feel exposed, ring the emergency services before anything else.
The verdict comes down to where the impact landed. A clean puncture in the tread can be repaired on the spot, but a split, bulge or blister in the sidewall or shoulder cannot, because that part flexes under load and no patch is rated to hold there at motorway speeds. You get the honest call before any work begins.
- ✓Roadside casing inspection after a pothole, kerb or carriageway debris strike
- ✓A straight repairable-or-replace verdict before any money is taken
- ✓Sidewall, shoulder and bulge damage judged honestly, never bodged over
- ✓We come to your safe spot near the M6, typically inside about an hour
About the M6
The road we cover.
The M6 is the backbone of the Midlands motorway network, and our coverage runs from the Catthorpe Interchange round through Birmingham and the Black Country. It meets the M1 and A14 at Catthorpe, serves Coventry at junctions 2 to 3, runs over the elevated section and Spaghetti Junction through Birmingham at 4 to 8, and passes Walsall at 9 to 10 and Wolverhampton at 10a. It is one of the busiest motorways in the country, carrying constant freight and commuter traffic through the heart of the Midlands.
Wherever you've stopped along it, we assess the damage at the roadside and sort a repair or replacement, rather than have you drive on a tyre that could fail.

Broken down on the M6?
If the tyre is damaged but still holding air, slow down and come off at the next junction. If it's deflating fast, treat it like a blowout and stop somewhere safe straight away.

M6 FAQs
Broken Tyre Repair on the M6, answered.
I clipped a pothole on the M6 but the tyre still looks okay. Should I stop?
Yes, find a safe spot and have it checked. A pothole hit on a fast motorway can pinch the casing against the rim and leave damage on the inner wall that you simply cannot see from the driver's seat. Get onto the hard shoulder or off at a junction, then call us out. We inspect the whole tyre properly so a hidden weakness does not turn into a blowout further along the road.
Can you repair a tyre that hit debris or a kerb on the carriageway?
It depends entirely on where the damage sits. If a sharp object has left a clean hole in the tread and the rest of the tyre is sound, we can usually plug and patch it there and then. If the strike has reached the sidewall or torn the shoulder, or if there is now a bulge in the wall, the tyre has to be replaced. We assess it on the spot and tell you which it is.
Why is sidewall damage from a pothole never repairable?
The sidewall bends with every single wheel rotation, so it carries stress the flat tread never sees. There is no plug or patch rated to stay put in that flexing zone, and at motorway speeds a bodged wall can let go without warning. So a cut, split, bulge or blister in the sidewall always means a new tyre. It is a safety line we will not cross.
How do I book and pay?
There is nothing to pay up front. A free enquiry takes about two minutes, then we ring you back to confirm the price and a time. The final figure depends on whether it turns out to be a repair or a fresh tyre, and we confirm the price with you at the roadside before we set off.
Do you actually come out to me on M6?
That is the whole idea of the service. We are fully mobile and we reach you at your safe spot on or near the M6, whether that is the hard shoulder, an emergency area or a junction lay-by, usually within about an hour where conditions allow. It saves you limping along on a broken tyre or waiting for a tow to a distant garage.
