Feel a tyre let go on the M42 and the drill is the same whatever the vehicle. Ease off the power, keep the wheel steady with both hands and let the car slow without heavy braking, then guide it onto the hard shoulder or an emergency refuge area and put your hazards on. The tyre will be beyond repair after a burst, so we come to you with a replacement rather than a patch.
A blowout at motorway speed shreds the sidewall and casing, and that damage cannot be mended safely. When we reach you on M42 we look the tyre over, tell you straight what we find, and fit a correctly sized new one on the spot, balanced and torqued so you can get moving again.
Our vans carry a range of sizes and all the kit to change a tyre at the roadside, so in most cases there is no tow and no garage. Callouts run around the clock every day of the year. Give us your location and direction on M42, and there is nothing to pay up front: you settle up once the new tyre is fitted.
- ✓Honest roadside assessment on the M42: a genuine blowout gets a new tyre, not a patch
- ✓A spread of tyre sizes carried on the van, so most bursts are sorted in a single visit
- ✓Fitted where you stopped with no tow, and no work ever done in a live motorway lane
- ✓24-hour callouts and no charge to book, with nothing to pay up front
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, we bring a replacement to you and check the wheel, rather than have you risk the rim on a shredded tyre.

M42 FAQs
Burst Tyre Replacement on the M42, answered.
Does a burst tyre on the M42 mean my car has to be towed?
In most cases, no. We fit the replacement at the roadside, so once you are safely off the live carriageway your car stays where it is and drives away on the new tyre. We only arrange recovery if you are stranded somewhere with no safe hard shoulder or refuge to work in, and even then only to reach a safer point.
The tyre went with a bang at motorway speed. Could I have done anything differently?
A blowout usually gives no warning, so it is rarely about what you did beforehand. What counts is the response: easing off the accelerator, keeping a firm grip on the wheel and letting the car slow rather than braking hard or swerving. Reaching the hard shoulder or an emergency area under control is exactly the right thing to do.
Can a burst tyre be patched to get me home?
No. A patch is for a small puncture in the tread, not for a tyre whose sidewall and casing have been torn open in a blowout. Driving on it, even a short way, would not be safe. When we reach you on M42 we fit a proper replacement so the car is sound for the journey on.
How do I help you find me on M42?
Give us your direction of travel and the nearest junction number or marker post, along with anything you can see nearby. That lets us pinpoint you and send the closest van quickly. If you can safely read the tyre size off the sidewall, tell us that too, so we arrive with the right replacement.
What are your hours and how much is the callout?
We run 24-hour callouts every day, so there is always cover on the motorway. The callout is included in the job rather than charged separately. There is no charge to book and nothing up front: you pay once the new tyre is fitted, and we confirm the full price for the tyre and fitting before we set off.
