Puncture Repair · A5

Puncture repaired safely off the carriageway
on the A5.

Do not keep driving on a flat along the A5. A tyre run while deflated wrecks the casing and turns a cheap repair into a new tyre, or worse at speed on a A-road. Stop safely, call us, and let us check whether yours can be mended to BS AU 159 before any more damage is done.

Once you are off the carriageway, in a refuge area or on the hard shoulder with your hazards on, we head out to A5 to reach you. The wheel comes off, the tyre comes off the rim, and we look inside the casing for the hidden damage an outside plug would never catch.

If the puncture is a clean hole under 6mm in the central tread and the tyre has not been run flat, it qualifies and we patch it properly on the spot. If it does not, we carry replacement stock and fit a new tyre there and then rather than send you back out on a repair that will not last.

  • Wheel off and casing inspected inside, a patch to BS AU 159, not an external plug
  • An honest call on repair or replace, with no pressure to buy a tyre you do not need
  • Far cheaper than a replacement when the puncture meets the standard
  • Out to you on the A5, generally within the hour, wheel rebalanced before you drive off

About the A5

The road we cover.

The A5 follows the old Watling Street from London towards Holyhead, much of it fast dual carriageway across our patch. It passes Dunstable and Houghton Regis, skirts Milton Keynes and Bletchley and runs on through Atherstone, Tamworth and Cannock. It is a historic trunk road carrying steady commuter and freight traffic.

Wherever you've pulled over along it, we come to you and repair the puncture at the roadside rather than have you limp on and ruin the tyre.

Stay safe first

Broken down on the A5?

A slow puncture usually gives you a little time. Reduce speed, put your hazards on and come off at the next exit or into an emergency area rather than stopping in a live lane.

A5 FAQs

Puncture Repair on the A5, answered.

Can you repair my puncture at the roadside on the A5?
In most cases, yes. Once you are parked safely on the A5, we take the wheel off, remove the tyre from the rim and check the damage from inside. If it meets BS AU 159 we fit a proper patch and refit the balanced wheel before you set off.
When can a tyre not be repaired?
A repair is off if the hole is in or near the sidewall, over 6mm, outside the central three-quarters of the tread, or the tyre has been run flat. Any of those weakens the casing, so we fit a replacement rather than send you back onto the A-road unsafe.
Is a roadside repair as good as a garage one?
It is the same job. We follow BS AU 159 either way: wheel off, tyre off the rim, inspected inside, a combined plug and patch fitted, then rebalanced. Done to that standard the repair lasts the life of the tyre, whether on the A5 or a workshop floor.
How much does a repair cost against a new tyre?
A repair costs a good deal less than a replacement, which is why we always check whether yours qualifies first. There is nothing to pay up front: the enquiry is free and we confirm the price by phone before we set off. If the tyre must be replaced instead, we tell you that price before we start.
How soon can you reach me on the A5?
Usually within the hour where the traffic and your location allow, with same-day and around-the-clock callouts. Tell us your direction of travel and the nearest junction or marker post on the A5 so we can find you quickly and get the repair under way.
