Puncture Repair · M42

Puncture repaired safely off the carriageway
on the M42.

Many punctures on the M42 come from road debris and are a cheap fix, not a new tyre. We find the cause, repair it where it is safe to and tell you honestly if a replacement is the safer call.

Punctures on the M42 often come from debris thrown up around the NEC and airport traffic around junction 6, the M6 merge at Coleshill and event-day congestion near the arena complex. Most are repairable if you stop before the tyre runs flat, so get to a safe spot and call us.

  • ✓Repaired to BS AU 159: a proper internal patch, not a roadside plug
  • ✓Honest assessment: we tell you if it is safe to repair or needs replacing
  • ✓Wheel rebalanced: so you do not pick up a wobble at speed
  • ✓Cheaper than a new tyre: where the damage allows a repair

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 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.
