You get home late, park, and hear it as you walk past the front wing. A steady hiss, or a wet clicking sound as the wheel settles. There is the nail head, sitting flush in a tread block, and the tyre still looks perfectly normal. It is half past eleven and the choice is being made now, not in the morning, whatever the morning feels like.
Here is what the night does to it. A tyre with a nail in it goes down slowly while it is parked, and by breakfast it can be flat enough that moving the car at all wrecks the inner liner. That is the difference between a repair and a new tyre, and it happens while everybody is asleep. The other thing that decides it is whether the nail stays put. Pull it out for a look and the air leaves with it.
An overnight repair follows exactly the same standard as a daytime one, and it is worth being clear about that. Where the damage falls outside the standard you get told at that hour and a replacement goes on from the van, on the drive in Central Milton Keynes or wherever the car is. Bletchley one hour, on the M1 the next, Wolverton after that: one patch. Early or late, Wolverton, Stony Stratford and the A5 are covered. Whether it is Newport Pagnell in rush hour or the A509 at midnight, we answer.

Distance is what makes an overnight call sensible around here. There is no single town centre to limp toward and the gaps between districts are long, so a car sitting in Newport Pagnell with a nail in a tyre has nowhere close by to fail gracefully. We would rather come out while the car is still on the drive and the tyre can still be saved.
A nail found on a driveway in Stony Stratford after a late shift. The car had not moved since, which is the best possible starting point. The tyre came off the rim, the hole was reamed and then plugged and patched from the inside, and it went back on that night.
A driver over at Westcroft got the pliers out to see how deep it went. The tyre emptied while he was still holding the nail, and the hole had a ragged edge where the shank had torn on its way past the belt. Still repairable, as it turned out, but it did not have to be a gamble.
Some jobs are booked because six in the morning is not negotiable. We take those overnight rather than at breakfast, so the car is finished, balanced and torqued while it is still dark and nobody has to think about it again.
Only if you are certain the car is not moving. A nail left overnight usually holds enough air to fool you, then the drive out of the estate finishes the tyre. Ringing at night generally saves it.
Every hour of it, 365 days a year, bank holidays and Sundays alike. The roads are empty at that time and nothing is queuing, so a three o clock call is often easier to attend than a rush hour one.
We bring our own lighting and the work is not loud. There is no compressor hammering away in the small hours and no revving. Most neighbours never know anybody was there.
Yes, if the car will be standing there anyway. An office park in Central Milton Keynes with the car unattended all day is one of the easiest jobs there is, provided we can get alongside it safely.
Then it is not repairable, whatever the hour. Repairs live in the tread band, and the shoulder flexes far too much to hold one. We will tell you that on the driveway and fit a replacement if you want it done tonight.
