The same nail does different amounts of damage depending on how fast you were going. At town speeds an object tends to go in cleanly and sit there. At motorway speeds it can be dragged sideways under the tread as the tyre deforms, opening a slot rather than a hole, and the heat generated by a tyre losing pressure at seventy does its own damage to the inside long before the driver notices anything.
That is why a puncture picked up on the M40 or the A40 is less often repairable than one picked up on the Old Town High Street, and it is worth knowing before you assume the worst or best. When we arrive the tyre comes off the rim and the inside is inspected properly: a clean single perforation in the central tread gets a combined plug and patch to BS AU 159, and anything torn, slotted or heat-damaged gets replaced from van stock the same visit. Either way you see the evidence.
Somebody waiting to be collected turns a puncture into an emergency faster than anything else. The work happens at the car in Beaconsfield: wheel off, tyre inspected from the inside, internal repair to British Standard where the damage sits inside the limits. On the A355, day or night, Old Town included, arrival across Buckinghamshire runs 30 to 60 minutes. We are out on the A4094 at 2am and in Holtspur at 2pm.

Beaconsfield traffic divides neatly between fast motorway running out at junction 2 and slow parked-up manoeuvring on the Georgian High Street in the Old Town, and the tyres tell you which kind of puncture they collected. The slow ones are usually saveable and the fast ones frequently are not. Getting to you quickly on the M40 matters partly because every minute of driving soft moves the tyre from the first category into the second.
A car parked on the Old Town High Street had a nail straight through the tread at walking pace. Textbook repair and the tyre stayed on.
An object picked up on the A40 had dragged sideways under the tread. The tear was too long to repair and a replacement went on.
A tyre driven several miles soft off the M40 showed scorching inside. The puncture itself was repairable, the casing was not.
The object can drag sideways under the tread at speed, and losing pressure at seventy generates enough heat to damage the inside of the tyre before you have even stopped.
As little as possible. Every mile at low pressure adds heat damage, and it is usually the drive rather than the nail that costs you the tyre.
Yes. The casing comes off and you see the tear or the scorching for yourself before anything new goes on the car.
Yes, 24 hours a day. Get well clear of the carriageway behind the barrier first and then give us your position.
It gets a combined plug and patch fitted from the inside to BS AU 159, then balanced and refitted with the pressures set from the door plate.
