Can this be fixed today, or am I buying a tyre? That is what people actually ask, and the answer is decided by geometry rather than by how much of a hurry you are in. Damage in the central three quarters of the tread, within the repairable band, can be reamed, plugged and patched properly. Damage on the shoulder or in the sidewall cannot, at any price, by anyone. Nobody enjoys hearing that at seven in the morning with a shift starting at eight, but it is better heard then than discovered later at speed on the M11.
Urgent to us means we come sooner, not that the tyre gets a faster patch. The wheel still comes off, the tyre still comes off the rim, and the inside still gets inspected. We just move you up the list.
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. The Newnham phone and the Arbury phone ring the same fitter, any hour. Midnight in Romsey, midday in Chesterton, the same call either way.

The awkward thing about a puncture in Cambridge is how far the car may be from you when it happens: parked near work while you cycled in, or left at a park and ride space all day. We come to the car, not to you, so the two do not have to meet before it gets fixed. Repairs run to the DVSA-compliant standard whatever hour we arrive.
A flat found on a Chesterton street with children already in coats. The nail sat centrally, so the tyre was recoverable. We took the wheel, worked on the pavement side of the car, and the morning went ahead only slightly late.
Night shifts do not wait, and neither do taxis at that hour. A car parked in Romsey with a tyre going down got priority over three routine jobs that morning. The repair itself took as long as a repair takes.
Not every urgent call ends in a repair. A puncture sitting right on the edge of the tread band cannot be patched safely, whatever the clock says. We told the owner in Trumpington the truth and fitted a replacement instead of pretending.
Typically 30 to 60 minutes, depending on where you are and what the ring road is doing. If the honest answer is longer than that on the day, you will hear it on the phone rather than after an hour of waiting.
It is not rushed. Priority changes when we arrive, never what happens once we are there. The wheel comes off, the casing is inspected inside, and the repair meets BS AU 159 or it does not get done.
Ring anyway. Slow leaks are the ones most worth catching, because the tyre is usually still intact. Left for a week they turn into the sort of damage that cannot be repaired at all.
Yes, and it is often the easiest option. A car sitting still all day out towards the A1134 ring road is a car we can work on without anybody standing in the cold waiting for us.
Then we say so and show you why, and you decide. There is usually a matching size on the van, but nobody is forced into buying it there and then.
