"Life saver. Sudden puncture, hard-to-find tyre. They got back to me within 10 minutes and did a mobile tyre change."
Tyre gone with a bang on the M42? Don't ride the rim. Get off the carriageway safely and we'll come to you with a replacement, fast.
When repair isn't an option, speed and stock are everything. Our vans carry common car and van sizes, so an emergency on the M42 rarely means a long wait. We check the rim and surrounding tyres, then fit a replacement and get you moving.
Blowouts and unrepairable damage on the M42 tend to happen on fast stretches and around the NEC and airport traffic around junction 6, the M6 merge at Coleshill and event-day congestion near the arena complex. Get off the carriageway and we'll bring an emergency replacement to you and check the wheel before fitting.

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.
We reach the M42 from the towns all along it. Pick the stretch nearest you:
A blowout can pull the car off line. Grip the wheel firmly, ease off the throttle, avoid braking hard, and steer gently onto the hard shoulder or an emergency area.
Reach an emergency area, the hard shoulder or the next exit if you safely can, and put your hazards on.
Leave the vehicle on the passenger side and wait well back. In a live lane, call 999 or National Highways on 0300 123 5000.
Once you are safe, call and we will come to you on the M42 to emergency tyre replacement at the roadside.

"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."
