Add up the slow version of a night-time puncture. A taxi home, a car left overnight somewhere it probably should not be, a penalty on the windscreen by morning, a day of ringing garages, then the discovery that the tyre has been ruined by the short drive you made trying to park it somewhere safer. Against that, one call and one visit while the streets are quiet. The casing comes away from the rim, the liner is read under proper light, the injury reamed and sealed for good to BS AU 159, and the wheel rebalanced before anyone drives it. Doing it at two in the morning is not showing off. It is the point at which the tyre can still be saved.
A puncture found on a Sunday used to cost you the Monday. Everything shut, nothing bookable until the week started, and a car sat outside doing nothing useful in Cranbrook. Or on the North Circular, if that is where it stopped. Midnight in Gants Hill, midday in Seven Kings, the same call either way. School run in Seven Kings or 1am in Goodmayes, we answer the same. IG1 takes in Newbury Park and Cranbrook, and we work the lot.

Nothing about East London gets easier with a flat tyre, and at night the options narrow to almost nothing. We work through the small hours across Newbury Park, Gants Hill and the streets off the High Road, and the repair we do at three is the same permanent one we would do at three in the afternoon.
Stopping there was never going to end well, and moving the car on a flat would have ended the tyre. We reached it quickly, worked at the kerb and had the car driveable again before the morning restrictions began to bite.
Spotted on the drive at half past eleven, hissing gently. Because it was dealt with that night rather than the following evening, the casing was untouched and the tyre carried on in service.
A can had been used weeks before and the pressure warning had never gone out since. We cleaned the casing, made the original puncture good and explained why the light stayed on, which was the sealant rather than the repair.
Yes, every night of the year. There is no answerphone taking messages until morning, because a message at three is worth nothing to somebody standing next to a flat tyre.
Very often it is, and that is the best case, because a tyre that deflated standing still has not been damaged by running flat. Ring before you move the car and you keep that advantage.
No. Everything happens beside the car, including breaking the tyre off the rim and rebalancing the wheel afterwards. Nothing leaves except the rubbish.
Sometimes, depending on where they sit and how close together they are. If the casing between them is compromised we will say the tyre is finished rather than patch it twice and hope.
Usually well within the hour from arrival to driving away, and the inspection part is not the bit that gets shortened.
