Eleven at night, the car nose-down on a turning off Crouch End Hill, and the nearside rear has gone visibly soft since you parked it. Nobody wants that at eleven. The obvious move is to leave it, drive carefully in the morning and deal with it properly later in the week.
That decision is what costs money. A tyre holding twenty psi with a nail in it is a repair. The same tyre after a mile of driving on next to nothing is a ruined inner liner and a purchase. Overnight is precisely when that loss happens, which is why the phone gets answered through it. A real repair means the tyre is lifted off its wheel and the whole inner surface is read for damage that never shows from outside, then the hole is reamed and a combined plug and patch is vulcanised into the casing to BS AU 159. The wheel is balanced and torqued back on afterwards. No strings poked in from the outside, no aerosol foam, because sealant is how people lose the pressure sensor as well as the tyre. Around here there is nowhere to work but the kerb, which suits us, since the kerb is where we work anyway.
Early starts are the other half of the overnight work. Half four in the morning, car loaded, and a tyre that has quietly gone down since you parked it in Ferme Park. There is no time to find a garage and no sense in setting off on it. The wheel comes off in The Broadway, not on a ramp in Harringay. Nothing is towed out of Ferme Park or Weston Park; the work finishes there. The N8 postcode and a street in Hornsey Vale: that is enough.

Everything out of N8 climbs, and a soft tyre pushed up Crouch Hill or over towards Harringay is being destroyed with every yard. That is the real argument for a night call rather than a morning one: at midnight the tyre is still a repair, and after the morning drive it is usually a purchase.
People who finish after the last bus find the tyre down when they are already tired and already home. There is no reason to sit up with it. Ring, go to bed if you like, and leave the keys somewhere sensible. The car is usually sound again before the alarm goes off.
A quick look at a tyre still on its wheel cannot tell anyone whether the casing is sound. We have taken plenty apart on driveways near Weston Park and found a clean, central puncture that was always going to patch. When that is what it is, that is what you get.
Pressure drops with temperature anyway, so a leak that only shows up on frosty mornings gets dismissed for weeks. Often it is corrosion on the bead seat or a tired valve rather than anything in the tread, and neither of those fixes itself. Both are quick once the tyre is off.
Yes, all year, including the days everything else is shut. It is not a novelty service. Most of the calls at that hour are shift workers and people who have just got home to a soft tyre.
It coats the inside of the casing so the damage cannot be assessed or bonded to, and it frequently ruins the sensor in the wheel. You may save one journey and then pay for a tyre and a sensor.
The central three quarters, measured across the width. That strip is where the casing is thick enough and stiff enough for a patch to hold. Outside it, nothing is permissible, whatever anybody offers you.
A repair carried out to the standard is entirely acceptable to a tester. What fails is a string plug visible from outside, or a tyre somebody has mended in the sidewall.
Then we say so, show you why, and offer you the correct replacement from what is on board. You are told the figure for that before anything is fitted, and nothing obliges you to take it.
