M6 Toll Mobile Tyre Fitting & Breakdown Recovery

Broken down or got a flat on the M6 Toll? Road Buddy covers the M6 Toll between Coleshill and Cannock — near Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield and Norton Canes — for tyres, 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.

The M6 Toll is a 27-mile toll motorway that bypasses the M6 through Birmingham. It leaves the M6 at J3a near Coleshill, passes east of Sutton Coldfield and south of Lichfield and Burntwood, and rejoins the M6 at J11a near Cannock.

Traffic on the M6 Toll is usually lighter than on the M6, but junctions are limited and spread out. This page explains what we can do and which junctions and towns we cover nearby.
