Half one in the morning, a car outside a house at Waterside, and the nearside front going down quicker than a top-up will hold. The temptation is to leave it until after breakfast. The trouble is what happens in between: once a tyre is fully flat and then gets driven on, even the short run up towards the Broadway, the inner liner scuffs itself apart and a puncture that could have been mended becomes a tyre that has to be bought.
That is why we work through the night. Done properly, the tyre comes off the rim, the casing gets read from the inside, the injury is reamed out, then plugged and patched from within to BS AU 159, and the wheel is balanced before it goes back on the car. No string pushed in from the outside, no aerosol foam, which coats the pressure sensor and usually finishes the tyre anyway. Two in the morning is no different from two in the afternoon for the work itself, and it is often the difference between mending a tyre and replacing one.
Christmas and New Year are the quietest weeks for garages and among the busiest for us. Driveways in The Broadway, side streets and car parks are all normal working ground on a bank holiday. School run in Pednormead End or 1am in The Broadway, we answer the same. Christmas Day in Waterside, any day in Newtown: the line is open.

Nights are quiet in the valley and that works in your favour, because a van gets across from the A413 quickly when nothing else is moving. It also means far fewer people about while your car sits with a wheel off on a narrow street at Waterside or Pednormead End.
A driver heard the hiss on the drive and rang rather than waiting for daylight. The nail was still sitting in the tread, dead centre, which is the best case there is. Wheel off, casing checked, injury reamed and patched, wheel balanced and back on. They drove to work on it a few hours later.
Topping up every other morning usually points to something small that only shows under water. The tyre came off the rim at the kerb and the puncture appeared the moment the casing was submerged. Tiny object, tight hole, invisible while the wheel was still on the car.
A tyre with a nail in it is generally repairable for as long as it still holds air. Left overnight and then run flat down the hill in the morning, the liner tears itself up and the same tyre is scrap. When you ring often decides whether you are buying a repair or a tyre.
It is the identical repair. Tyre off the rim, casing inspected internally, injury reamed, plugged and patched to BS AU 159, wheel rebalanced. Our van carries its own lighting and power, so darkness changes nothing about what we can see.
Only within the central band of tread. Shoulders and sidewalls flex too hard for a patch to stay put, so damage there means replacement. Anyone offering to patch a sidewall is telling you something you should not accept.
Mention it when you ring. The foam has to be cleaned out before anything can be assessed, and in a fair number of cases it has already killed the sensor inside the wheel. Sealant is a get-you-home trick, never a repair.
Yes, every single time, and the tyre off the rim after it. A plug shoved in from outside tells you nothing about whether the cords underneath are cut. Half the evidence is invisible until the casing is open.
We cover the villages fed by the B485 and the B4505 as well as the town itself, at any hour, 365 days a year. Give us whatever you can see from where you have stopped and we will find you.
