M5 Mobile Tyre Fitting & Breakdown Recovery
Broken down on the M5 between Bromsgrove and Gloucester? Road Buddy covers this stretch for mobile tyre fitting, breakdown recovery and jump starts.
If you are stopped in a live lane or in immediate danger, call 999 first.
Motorway attendance and any roadside work depend on safe access and your exact location. We will not fit tyres or work beside live traffic — the vehicle may need to be recovered to a suitable safe location before work can be completed.
Our M5 coverage runs south from the edge of Birmingham at J4 (Lydiate Ash, Bromsgrove), past the M42 link at J4a, through Droitwich and Worcester, past the M50 at J8 and on to Tewkesbury, Cheltenham and Gloucester.
Much of this section is long, rural and fast, with junctions several miles apart, so knowing your junction and direction really helps us reach you.
M5 Mobile Tyre Fitting
Mobile tyre fitting on the M5 means we bring a tyre in your size and fit it once you are somewhere safe — off at a junction, at Strensham or Gloucester Services, or after recovery. Send a photo of your tyre size before we set off.
Mobile tyre fitter near M5 J6 and J7 (Worcester)
J6 (A449/A4538) serves Worcester north and Droitwich side; J7 (A44) serves Worcester south. Both are good exits to leave the motorway and wait somewhere safe for a tyre.
Flat tyre near Cheltenham and Gloucester (J10–J12)
J10 is a limited-access junction for Cheltenham; J11 (A40) and J11a (A417) are the main exits for Cheltenham and Gloucester, and J12 (B4008) serves south Gloucester.
M5 Breakdown Recovery
M5 breakdown recovery takes your vehicle off the motorway to your home, a garage or a safe location. Typical destinations include Bromsgrove, Worcester, Cheltenham and Gloucester — you choose, and we quote before setting off.

M5 Jump Start & Flat Battery Help
Flat batteries after a stop at Strensham or Gloucester Services can usually be fixed with a jump start, and we can fit a replacement battery if we have the right one.
