"I had a flat tyre off the A40 and they sorted me out. The mobile van was quick to arrive and had the tyre swapped out within 20 minutes."

Puncture repaired safely off the carriageway
on the M6.
A puncture on the M6 is rarely the end of the tyre. A screw or nail in the tread usually meets the British Standard for repairs, BS AU 159, which means an internal patch that holds for the life of the tyre and costs a fraction of a new one. We come to you on this motorway and mend it where you have stopped.
Get to safety before anything else. Pull into an emergency area, onto the hard shoulder or off at the next junction, put your hazards on and stand well back from live traffic while you call. We make our way out to you along the M6, take the wheel off and inspect the tyre from the inside.
A roadside repair only counts if it meets BS AU 159: the hole in the central three-quarters of the tread, under 6mm, and no sign the tyre has been run flat. If your damage is outside those limits we tell you and fit a replacement instead, so you never leave on a patch that could let go.
- ✓Repaired to BS AU 159, an internal patch after we inspect inside the tyre, never an outside plug
- ✓A straight repair-or-replace answer, and we only mend what is genuinely safe
- ✓A qualifying repair costs far less than a new tyre, wheel rebalanced before you go
- ✓We reach you at the roadside on the M6, usually within the hour where we can get to you
About the M6
The road we cover.
The M6 is the backbone of the Midlands motorway network, and our coverage runs from the Catthorpe Interchange round through Birmingham and the Black Country. It meets the M1 and A14 at Catthorpe, serves Coventry at junctions 2 to 3, runs over the elevated section and Spaghetti Junction through Birmingham at 4 to 8, and passes Walsall at 9 to 10 and Wolverhampton at 10a. It is one of the busiest motorways in the country, carrying constant freight and commuter traffic through the heart of the Midlands.
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.

M6 FAQs
Puncture Repair on the M6, answered.
Can you repair my puncture at the roadside on the M6?
In most cases, yes. Once you are parked safely on the M6, 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 motorway 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 M6 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 M6?
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 M6 so we can find you quickly and get the repair under way.
