Two in the morning near the station, everything shut, and a tyre that has been quietly losing air since you parked it. The temptation is to leave it for daylight. That is usually the decision that costs money.
A puncture stays repairable only while the tyre keeps its shape. Drive it soft down Seven Sisters Road in the morning traffic and the inner liner tears itself apart, and once that has happened no patch may legally be bonded to it. So the value of a fitter turning out at two is not heroics. It is that the tyre is still saveable at two and might not be at eight. What we do is straightforward and takes about as long as a coffee: the wheel comes away, the bead is dropped, the casing is checked over from within, the puncture channel is reamed back to clean rubber and a combined plug and patch goes in to BS AU 159. The wheel gets spun on the balancer before it is torqued back up. No string plugs, no aerosol foam, and the tyre you keep is the tyre you already paid for.
The morning is what an overnight repair actually buys you. We do the third, right across Greater London, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. From Stroud Green to Finsbury Park station, at whatever hour the call lands. The Stroud Green phone and the Manor House phone ring the same fitter, any hour.

Nothing around Finsbury Park station is open at four in the morning, and there is nowhere sensible to leave a car while you wait for something to be. We come out to the street, take the wheel off there and repair the tyre before the morning traffic finishes it off.
A driver coming off a late finish spotted the tread ticking as he walked round the car. Straight in the middle, which is the repairable zone, and he was moving again well inside the hour.
The can had been emptied in on the Friday and the tyre had gone down again by the Sunday. Cleaning the gunge out of the casing and off the sensor took longer than the actual repair.
Topping it up every few days for a month and putting it down to the weather. There was a staple in the tread the whole time. Sealed properly, it stopped needing air at all.
Every night, all year, bank holidays included. Traffic on the A503 is at its kindest then, so nights are often our quickest response of the whole day.
For a repairable puncture, yes. It is bonded from the inside and lasts the life of the casing, which is why the standard permits it and permits nothing done from the outside.
Because it lines the casing with sticky residue, wrecks pressure sensors more often than not, and frequently turns a saveable tyre into scrap. Expensive, for something that costs a few pounds.
Where the object went in decides it. Central tread is good, near the edge is not. We will give you an early view on the phone and a definite one at the car.
Yes, and that is part of the job rather than an extra. A patch puts weight in one spot, and left alone that comes back to you as a shake in the steering at speed.
