Four M1 Junctions and a Lot of Tyre Call-Outs in Wakefield
The M1 curves around the west and north of Wakefield, with junction 39 at Durkar on the A636, junction 40 on the A638 for Ossett and Dewsbury, junction 41 at Carr Gate, and the Lofthouse Interchange at junction 42, where it meets the M62. Closer in, the A61 Leeds Road runs north through Outwood, and the A650 comes in from the Bradford direction. Commuters put a lot of miles on these roads, and when a tyre fails, we send a fitter to wherever the car has stopped.
We're open 24/7. We aim to be with you within 60 minutes in most cases, though the motorway is often slow between junctions 40 and 41 at the evening peak, and that can affect arrival times.
Not every job is on the motorway. Just as often it's a car on the drive in Kettlethorpe that won't make the school run, or a tyre that went down in a city-centre car park. Either way, the fitter brings what's needed and does the work there.
How We Handle a Wakefield Call
- You tell us the basics: the location, the registration and, if possible, the tyre size from the sidewall.
- We dispatch the nearest fitter: whoever is closest and free among our 100+ fitters around England and Wales.
- The tyre is dealt with on the spot: repaired if it's safe to, or replaced with a new budget, mid-range or premium tyre under the manufacturer's guarantee.
- Nothing extra on the bill: balancing and disposal are free, there are no hidden fees, and you can pay by card, cash or bank transfer.
If you're on the motorway itself, stop on the hard shoulder or in an emergency area, get everyone out on the verge side and behind the barrier, and only then call us.

- Puncture repair: for clean punctures in the central tread that meet British Standard guidance, a repair keeps your tyre in service.
- Van tyres: for the many vans running on and off the M1 and M62 near Wakefield, fitted at your yard or at the roadside.

When the Tyre Pressure Warning Light Comes On
Most cars built in the last decade or so have a tyre pressure monitoring system, and the little amber horseshoe with an exclamation mark is its warning. It means at least one tyre has lost a noticeable amount of air. It doesn't tell you how fast, so treat it seriously, particularly if you're about to join the M1.
Slow down, find a safe place to stop and look at all four tyres. If one is visibly flat or soft, don't carry on at motorway speed. If they all look fine, check the pressures with a gauge as soon as you can, using the figures in the door shut or handbook. A light that keeps coming back after topping up usually means a slow puncture worth having looked at.
