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 come to you and sort the flat, a repair where it's safe, a replacement where it isn't, and get you moving again.

Stay safe first

Broken down on the M42?

Don't try to drive on a flat. Slow down, hold the wheel straight and come off the carriageway to a safe spot or an emergency area, put your hazards on, and then call us.

Get off the carriageway

Reach an emergency area, the hard shoulder or the next exit if you safely can, and put your hazards on.

Stand behind the barrier

Leave the vehicle on the passenger side and wait well back. In a live lane, call 999 or National Highways on 0300 123 5000.

Call us

Once you are safe, call and we will come to you on the M42 to flat tyre help 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."

M42 FAQs

Flat Tyre Help on the M42, answered.

Can you reach me on the M42?
Yes. Get to a safe spot, an emergency area, the hard shoulder or off at the nearest junction, and call us. We cover the M42 across our area and provide flat tyre help at the roadside on the spot.
Is my flat on the M42 a repair or a new tyre?
It depends on the damage. A small tread puncture is often repairable on the spot; a sidewall cut, bulge or run-flat tyre needs a replacement, which we carry and fit where you've stopped.
What should I do if I break down on the M42?
Get well behind the safety barrier, away from the carriageway, and call 999 or National Highways on 0300 123 5000 if you are in a live lane. Once you are safe, call us and we will come to you.
How quickly can you reach the M42?
Typically within the hour where we can, with same-day and 24-hour callouts. Tell us your direction of travel and the nearest junction or marker post so we find you fast.
