Most people ringing in a hurry say the same sentence: they only need it to get home. It is an understandable thought and it is usually the wrong one, because the drive that gets you home is exactly the drive that converts a mendable puncture into a tyre you have to buy. Ten minutes of running soft round the one-way streets near Clerkenwell Green is quite enough to do it.
The better move is to leave the car where it stands and let the repair come to it. Whether that is possible comes down to position. An object sitting in the central tread band gets drilled out and sealed from within by a bonded plug and patch to BS AU 159, then rebalanced. Anything in the shoulder or the wall does not, and you will hear which one you have within minutes of the wheel coming off. Where the clock genuinely matters, a meeting, a shift, an appointment you cannot rearrange, say so when you ring and you move to the front. The queue changes. The method stays exactly as it is.
The car being off the road is the problem; the puncture is just the reason. So the job is finished on site in Exmouth Market or wherever the car is standing rather than started there. Christmas Day in Exmouth Market, any day in St John Street: the line is open. Ring at 3am from Farringdon Road and someone answers; the Amwell Street area at noon is no different.

Nothing about this postcode makes it easy to nip out to a tyre place and back, so an urgent puncture in Clerkenwell tends to cost a whole morning if you deal with it the traditional way. Coming to the bay, the yard or the studio forecourt means the only time you lose is the time it takes to hand over a key.
Found while loading the car, with the morning already spoken for. The nail had gone in centrally and the tyre still held pressure, so it was off the rim, mended, balanced and back on inside the hour. Nothing about the sequence was skipped to make that happen.
The driver had ninety minutes and no interest in arriving by taxi. We reached the car first, repaired the puncture properly and left them enough time to walk in unhurried. Being told a realistic arrival window is half of what makes that work.
A slow leak that had been ignored for a fortnight, finally dealt with the day before a long drive. Better found at the kerb than on a dual carriageway with the pressure warning coming on. It turned out to be a screw, and mending it took less of the day than driving to any workshop would have.
Mention it as soon as we pick up, since it changes how fast we need to be with you and how the job is approached. Where possible we would rather you were in a bay, even a metered one, before we arrive.
No. There is no such thing as a temporary repair in what we do. It is either a permanent repair carried out to the standard or it is a new tyre, and you are told which applies once the casing is open.
Only long enough for us to get access and agree the price. After that you are free to go back inside. Plenty of EC1 repairs are finished while the owner is in a meeting upstairs.
Ring us. A properly bonded repair does not weep, so a recurrence means something else is going on, a second object, a valve, or a rim that is not sealing, and that gets looked at.
Yes, and it is most of what we see around here. Low profiles need care getting the bead over the rim, which is a question of technique and protection rather than force.
