The last thing that happens on any job is a torque wrench, and it is worth explaining why. Wheel nuts have a specified figure, usually somewhere between 100 and 130 newton metres depending on the car, and both directions of getting it wrong are bad. Too loose and the wheel works itself off. Too tight and you stretch the studs, distort the disc and guarantee that nobody, including you, can undo them at the roadside next time.
So the wheel goes back with a wrench rather than a rattle gun, set to the manufacturer's number. That takes an extra minute and it is the minute that means you can change your own wheel in future if you ever need to. Everything before it is the repair itself: tyre off the rim, object out and measured, inner liner inspected, combined plug and patch bonded from the inside to BS AU 159, wheel balanced, pressures set from the plate in the door shut. Half an hour of work, done once, done properly.
The car being off the road is the problem; the puncture is just the reason. So the job is finished on site in Walton Court or wherever the car is standing rather than started there. The wheel comes off in Elmhurst, not on a ramp in Wendover. Nothing is towed out of Watermead or Fairford Leys; the work finishes there.

Aylesbury spreads a long way from its centre, with the A41 and the A413 carrying fast traffic out towards Wendover, Thame and Tring, and a wheel that has been badly refitted is a genuinely dangerous thing on roads like that. Doing the repair properly and putting the wheel back to spec are the same job in our view. It costs a minute and it means the next person to touch that wheel, quite possibly you, can actually get it off.
A car in Quarrendon had nuts run up so hard the owner could not have shifted them. After the repair they went back to the correct figure.
A driver pulled off the A413 with a nail in the tread. Repaired at the verge and the wheel torqued properly before they rejoined.
A slow puncture on a Walton Court driveway, sealed from the inside and the wheel refitted to spec while the owner watched.
Too loose and the wheel can work free. Too tight and the studs stretch and nobody can undo them later. The manufacturer publishes a figure and we use it.
Not for final tightening. A gun is fine for spinning a nut down, but the last turn is done with a torque wrench so the number is right.
It does no harm to have them checked after a few dozen miles, though a correctly torqued wheel will not loosen. We are happy to explain what to feel for.
Around half an hour at the car once we are with you, with a typical arrival of 30 to 60 minutes anywhere across Aylesbury.
Yes, BS AU 159, with the tyre off the rim and the repair bonded from the inside. Nothing is plugged from the outside and left at that.
