At night the most important part of a roadside tyre job happens before anybody touches a wheel, and none of it involves the tyre. It is making the car and the people around it visible, and then getting the people away from the car altogether. Hazard lights go on the moment you know something is wrong, not once you have stopped. Sidelights stay on so the outline of the car reads at a distance. If you have a reflective jacket it goes on before you open the door, because a person in dark clothing on an unlit verge is effectively invisible until it is far too late.
Then everybody gets out on the side away from the traffic and moves behind a barrier or well up the verge. Not down the nearside of the car, and not into the boot to hunt for something. On the A13 and the A1306 the traffic is quick and the drivers behind are not expecting a stationary car. This is the part people skip because it feels dramatic, and it is the part that matters most. We would far rather arrive to find you standing well back in the dark than sitting in a car on the edge of a live lane. We work every night of the year.
There is no closing time and no answerphone. A call from Wood Lane at 11pm and a call from a driveway at 11am are handled the same way: answered, priced, dispatched. Ours can repair a puncture to British Standard on the spot or fit a replacement and balance it, at whatever hour you rang, anywhere in RM10. Whether it is the Marsh Green area in rush hour or Wood Lane at midnight, we answer. On Newham Way, day or night, Rush Green included, arrival across RM10 runs 30 to 60 minutes. The RM10 postcode and a street in Becontree: that is enough.

The A13 does not slow down at night, it simply empties out and gets faster, and the same is true of the A1306 New Road. If you end up stopped on either of them after dark, the order is hazards, jacket, everybody out on the far side, get behind something solid, then ring. Once that is done there is no hurry at all, because the job itself is straightforward and we bring the light with us.
A family stopped on the A1306 at eleven at night got themselves behind the barrier and left the hazards running. The car was easy to find and nobody was standing anywhere near the traffic.
A driver near Wood Lane got the car well clear of the running lane before ringing. That one decision made the rest of the job ordinary rather than awkward.
A tyre changed on an unlit stretch near the Marsh Green area with the working area properly lit, which is quicker and considerably safer than working off a phone torch.
On a quiet residential street, staying in with the doors locked is sensible. On or beside a fast road it is not. Get out on the side away from traffic and stand behind a barrier or well up the verge until we arrive.
Keep one in the door pocket rather than the boot, so it goes on before you get out. At night on an unlit road it is the cheapest thing there is for making yourself visible to somebody coming up behind.
Say so when you call, and keep everybody well away from the car. We will position the van to shield the working area and light it properly. Do not attempt anything yourself on a live carriageway in the dark.
Every night, all year, bank holidays included. Typical arrival across RM10 is 30 to 60 minutes, and we bring our own lighting rather than relying on whatever the street happens to offer.
