BS AU 159 is the standard a car tyre repair is meant to meet, and it is worth knowing what it asks for, because a good deal of what gets sold as a puncture repair does not come close. The tyre has to be taken off the wheel. The inside has to be examined. The repair has to fill the hole and cover the liner, worked from the inside, and the damage has to lie within the central portion of the tread.
That is what happens at four in the morning on a street off Camden Road exactly as it happens at midday. The hour alters nothing except how early the tyre gets caught. A puncture found at eleven at night and sorted then is usually still repairable. The same tyre after a stop-start slog down the Holloway Road in the morning very often is not.
Christmas and New Year are the quietest weeks for garages and among the busiest for us. Driveways in Nag's Head, side streets and car parks are all normal working ground on a bank holiday. Same tools in Hillmarton as in Caledonian Road, same on every call. Valve in Tufnell Park, balance in Nag's Head, pressures before we go. Nag's Head, Tufnell Park station and the streets around Hillmarton are minutes apart.

The Holloway Road is one of the busiest streets in this half of London and it is no place to be dealing with a flat in daylight. At two in the morning that same stretch is empty, the buses have finished and a fitter can work at the kerb properly. That is the practical case for night repairs in N7, quite separately from catching the tyre while it is still worth saving.
A shift worker home at three came out to a tyre nearly down and no way of getting to work later. The wheel was off within the hour, the nail sat comfortably inside the repairable area, and it went back balanced in time for a few hours of sleep.
A tyre plugged from the outside somewhere else had been shedding pressure ever since. With it off the wheel the reason was plain: the string had never sealed against the liner and the edges of the hole had been working away the whole time. Cleaned out and patched from behind, it held.
A driver spotted a screw head in the tread and rang rather than leaving it for the working week. Sunday night on a quiet street is a simple repair. Monday at eight on the Holloway Road, with the tyre already soft, is usually a purchase.
Because the damage that settles the question is inside it. A tyre run soft shows scuffing and a broken-up liner, none of which can be seen from outside. Anybody repairing without demounting is guessing at the important part.
The outer edges. The repairable band is the central three quarters, and past that the tyre flexes too much for a patch to survive. It is the same reason a sidewall repair does not exist at all.
We do, though reaching a car near the Emirates Stadium around kick-off is slower and the restrictions are what they are. Ring earlier on those evenings and it gets planned around.
No. Nearly all of this work happens on the street. Give us the road and roughly where the car is sitting and the fitter will find it.
Once we are with you it is usually inside the hour, and that includes balancing. Balancing is part of the job rather than an extra at the end of it.
