Add up the alternative before deciding it can wait for daylight. If a tyre goes down overnight, the morning options from here are a drive to Milton Keynes, a drive to Bicester or a drive to Brackley, each of them on fast roads, on a tyre that should not be turning. Add the wait for a bay, the lift back and the hours off work, and a puncture that took twenty minutes to fix has taken most of a day.
There is a stronger reason than the diary, though. A tyre deflated on a driveway at eleven at night is still a repairable tyre at eleven at night. The same tyre driven twelve miles at low pressure the next morning usually is not, because the inner liner has been shredding itself against the rim the whole way, and that damage is inside where nobody sees it until the wheel has been stripped.
So we come out overnight, take the tyre off the rim, look inside, ream the hole, fit a combined plug and patch to BS AU 159, balance the wheel and put it back. The cost is settled on the phone and does not change because it happens to be dark.
Christmas and New Year are the quietest weeks for garages and among the busiest for us. Everything is shut, people are driving to places they do not usually drive to, and a puncture at that point has nowhere to go. Driveways in Bourton, side streets and car parks are all normal working ground on a bank holiday. Level in Page Hill, sloping in Lace Hill: we set the car straight first. Underground parking in Maids Moreton or Bourton is worth flagging.

There is no all night fitter in town and the nearest bays are a long drive out. That gap is exactly what the overnight service exists to fill, at the house, in the yard or at the roadside, to the British standard with the wheel balanced again before we go.
A flat found after a late finish, with an early start the next day and nothing local open. The injury was a nail sitting well within the repairable band. Sealed from the inside, rebalanced and refitted, and the car left on time the following morning.
A driver had been reinflating the same tyre every few days for a fortnight and treating it as a quirk. It was a thorn of wire from a hedge cutting. Every low pressure mile had been cooking the shoulder, and it was repaired with very little margin left.
A tin of sealant had already been emptied into the valve. It coats the liner so nothing bonds, and it regularly finishes off the pressure sensor too. The tyre could not be saved, which the owner accepted more easily once the inside of it was visible.
Yes, all night and every day of the year, villages included. Rural addresses are not an exception. Give us the postcode and a landmark you can see and we will find you.
We carry the common sizes for cars, SUVs and 4x4s, so in most cases a replacement goes on during the same visit. You are not left waiting for a second appointment or a parts order the next day.
Ones sitting centrally in the tread, clear of the shoulders, of a limited size, and in a tyre that has not been run flat. Sidewall injuries never qualify. That is written into BS AU 159, not decided by whoever turns up.
Within the permitted zone, yes. The plug fills the hole through the casing and the patch seals the liner over the top of it, which is why such a repair is good for the same speeds the tyre was built for.
It will, because the wheel is balanced again before it goes back on. That step is not optional once a tyre has been broken off its rim, and skipping it is what produces a steering wobble on the A421 at speed.
