Two ways to spend a night with a flat tyre. The first: leave it, ring round at eight, wait for recovery or nurse the car across the grid to whoever has a free bay, then discover the crawl has finished the tyre off and buy a new one. The second: have somebody out at one in the morning while the casing is still whole, take the cover off the rim, inspect it, ream and seal the injury to BS AU 159 and put the wheel back balanced. Only the second ends with the tyre you already paid for still doing its job. Repairability quietly expires somewhere between the puncture and the drive to work, which is the real reason the hour matters.
The temptation at 1am is to pump it up and deal with it tomorrow. We come out at that hour in Bletchley, get the wheel off and inspect the tyre from the inside before deciding anything, then repair to British Standard where the damage qualifies. Nothing is towed out of Brickfields or Fenny Stratford; the work finishes there. Pressures set before we leave Denbigh, and the same on the A5.

Nights are when the grid is finally quiet, which makes a run out to Fenny Stratford or Far Bletchley quicker at two in the morning than at two in the afternoon. Sharp scrap off the roads around Denbigh keeps us busy at those hours, and most of what comes out of a tyre there is metal rather than glass.
A driver got home at midnight, found a front going soft on the drive and decided not to gamble on the morning. We were there within the hour, the injury sat centrally, and the same tyre went back on.
The industrial roads around Denbigh throw up more sharp scrap than anywhere else locally, and a length of banding strap had gone through a rear tyre. It was salvageable because the driver stopped as soon as the warning light came on rather than pressing on to the A421.
A puncture found at half eleven would have meant a queue across town at eight and a wasted morning. Dealt with overnight instead, the car was ready before anyone else was awake and nobody sat in a waiting room.
Nothing that we would repair in daylight either. The limits concern the position of the injury and the tread left on it, not the hour. We bring our own lighting, so a dark verge changes nothing about the inspection.
The repair itself is not a long job once the wheel is off, and the balance and refit follow straight on. The variable is getting to you, which is typically 30 to 60 minutes around the grid.
Nothing at all. Power, lighting, compressed air and the balancer are all aboard, which is what makes a two in the morning call practical rather than theoretical.
Only if we cannot get in. Sort the access out when you ring, even if that means meeting us with a key, and the rest is straightforward.
A flat tyre folds its own wall against the rim every rotation. That rubbing shreds the airtight layer on the inside, and a patch has nothing sound to bond to afterwards. The damage is done long before the outside looks bad.
