Walked out to the car at Norton Canes, or onto your Bloxwich drive, to find a tyre pancaked on the tarmac? Do not drive it anywhere. We come and decide at the wheel.
A slow leak picked up on the toll road often finishes its work overnight or during a stop. Someone who left the M6 Toll at T7 for Great Wyrley or Bloxwich wakes to a flat on the drive. A driver breaking the journey at Norton Canes returns to a sagging corner. Crawling along the A5 or A34 in search of a garage is tempting, but a flat driven even short distances chews the sidewall and can buckle the rim.
Leave everything as it is and ring with the address or car park and the size code. We ask whether a nail or screw is visible, and whether the car was driven after the warning appeared. Kneeling by that Bloxwich drive or Norton Canes bay, the fitter pulls the wheel, traces the leak and says whether BS AU 159 allows a patch-plug or a new tyre is needed. You hear the figure before any work begins.
On run-flat tyres? They behave differently once deflated, so check the handbook's limits and read our page on run-flat tyres; we fit replacement run-flat tyres at the car near the M6 Toll as well.
Our Brent Cross team also offers broken tyre replacement, locking wheel nut removal on the M6 Toll and emergency mobile tyre fitting.
Flats are dealt with on a Bloxwich or Great Wyrley drive, a Sutton Coldfield street, or the Norton Canes car park. A tyre that goes flat while on the M6 Toll itself means the emergency phone and recovery before we are involved.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the M6 Toll page
When a tyre goes soft heading south of the toll road towards east Birmingham, aim for Bromford Lane, the A4040, and a side road by Stechford Retail Park or Lea Hall station. Stop clear of passing cars, hazards flashing, and step out away from the road. Then ring with the street name and what you can see.
A flat after an M6 Toll trip deserves a look first. Walk round every wheel, then examine the flat one for a nail, a weeping valve or a kerb scrape on its wall. Do not creep it to a garage in Cannock, even slowly, because the sidewall folds and fails. Space-saver wheels are strictly for short, slow journeys. Leave the car in a Sutton Coldfield street, a Bloxwich drive or the Norton Canes car park.
