Do the arithmetic on the alternative, because it is not close. A puncture at seven in the morning here means either a slow, risky run into Cambridge or over to St Neots on a soft tyre, a wait for whichever bay is free, and a lift home and back afterwards, or one visit to your driveway while you get the children ready. The first version costs you the morning and quite possibly the tyre. The second costs you the price of a repair.
What urgency changes is the order we arrive in, and nothing else. The tyre is still broken off its rim, the inside of the casing is still inspected, the injury is still reamed out and closed with a plug and patch worked to BS AU 159, and the wheel does not go back until it has been balanced. Where the damage sits is what actually decides your morning: in the middle three quarters of the tread it can be repaired, and out at the edge or down in the sidewall it cannot, no matter how urgently anyone needs it.
What you should not do is drive on it to save the wait. Leave the car where it is, on the A14 or on the drive and let the van come to it. Anywhere in Cambridgeshire. A Monkfield cul-de-sac or a Sheepfold Lane main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in Monkfield or a narrow bay on the B1198 is usually workable.

There is no fitting bay in the village, so an urgent puncture here is really a question of distance and traffic on the A428. We come to the driveway, the Business Park or the roadside, at any hour, and the work itself is carried out to the identical standard however tight the deadline is.
A flat found with the car already loaded and the bell not far off. The nail was dead centre, so it was repaired rather than sold against, and the tyre was holding pressure with time to spare. Arriving sooner was the only shortcut taken.
A slow puncture that had finally given up overnight, on a driveway in Lower Cambourne, with a meeting that could not slide. Repaired before eight, balanced and refitted, and the drive to work happened as normal.
The screw had gone in at the very edge of the tread and into the shoulder. No repair exists for that, and the useful thing was saying it immediately. A replacement was already on board, so the deadline survived even though the tyre did not.
Typically 30 to 60 minutes before we are with you, and the work itself is short once the van is on the drive. Say what time you must leave and we will tell you plainly whether it works.
It is a bad idea on any road and a worse one on the A428, where you are up to speed almost immediately. Low pressure at speed builds heat fast, and heat is what destroys a casing beyond repair.
It means an earlier arrival. The repair itself is the same permanent job at any time of day, and needing it sooner does not make it dearer.
Yes. Early starts are common around here and we work through every hour of the night, weekends and holidays included.
Then repairing it is poor value and we would say so. A tyre down below 1.6mm in the central band is illegal anyway, and near that point the money is better spent on a new one.
