Twenty to seven on a winter evening, the train has just come in, and the car you left in the Station Area at half six that morning is sitting on a flat. Everything local shut hours ago. It is dark, it is cold, and the choice looks like a taxi home or a slow limp on a ruined tyre.
There is a third option, which is that somebody comes out to the car park and repairs it properly while you wait. That is worth more than convenience. A tyre that has stood flat all day is usually still saveable, but driving four miles home on it almost certainly finishes it, because a flat casing grinds itself apart from the inside. We take the wheel off there, part the tyre from the rim, look over the inner liner for the damage you cannot see from outside, ream the puncture back to sound rubber and bond a plug and patch through it to BS AU 159. The wheel is rebalanced before it goes back on. That is permanent, it satisfies DVSA requirements, and it happens at any hour you ring.
Working at night is easier in one respect: the roads are quiet. A job on Steppingley Road that would be awkward at five in the afternoon is straightforward at two in the morning. On a drive in the Station area, in a car park or at the kerb, whichever the car is in. Level in Denel Close, sloping in Steppingley Road: we set the car straight first. Underground parking in Westoning Road or Maulden Road is worth flagging.

Flitwick empties towards the station in the morning and refills at night, which means a lot of cars sit unattended all day and pick up trouble nobody notices until dark. We come out to the car park, the drive or the roadside on Steppingley Road at whatever hour it is.
Picked up something in the tread on the morning run in and it had gone down all day. Repaired in the car park inside the hour, and he drove home on the mended wheel instead of leaving the car there overnight.
Fresh construction traffic on a lane near Greenfield had left the road littered. The nail had gone in straight and central, so it patched cleanly and the tyre carried on.
Woken by a neighbour who had noticed the tyre flat on the drive. Rather than let it sit and get driven on at seven, we came out at night and dealt with it before the school run.
Yes, and it is one of the places we visit most. Drop the keys with somebody, let us know which row the car is in, and it gets done while you are on the train.
It lasts the remaining life of the tyre. The plug fills the hole and the patch seals the liner from inside, which is the one approach the rules actually recognise.
Not at all. We are out every night of the year. If anything the roads out towards Westoning Road are empty then and we arrive faster.
Standing flat is much kinder to a tyre than being driven flat. Left alone it is usually fine. It is the journey home that writes them off.
We look at all four for depth, pressure and obvious damage before leaving. It costs nothing extra and it saves a second callout on the Monday.
