Not every puncture can be mended, and what settles it is not the size of the hole. It is the position. The central band of tread can be repaired properly and permanently. The shoulder, where the tread curls away towards the sidewall, cannot, and neither can the sidewall itself, because that part of a tyre flexes on every roundabout and works a patch loose however well it was bonded. Anybody telling you different is selling a repair that will let go later.
When the clock is the real problem, and around Egham it usually is, what we can move is where you sit in the order of the day. A school start, an early shift, a booked appointment: urgent calls get a fitting van sent out ahead of the routine ones. What does not get shortened is the work. The tyre still leaves the rim, the casing still gets looked at from the inside, and the wheel still gets balanced before it goes back on.
What you should not do is drive on it to save the wait. Leave the car where it is, on Windsor Road or on the drive and let the van come to it. Anywhere in Surrey. Old tyres leave Virginia Water, Englefield Green and Surrey with us, every time. You watch it happen in Englefield Green, or at the kerb in Thorpe.

Around Englefield Green the ground rises and a fair few drives and side roads sit on a noticeable slope, which is a poor place to be putting a jack under a car in a hurry. We bring our own equipment and set up safely rather than working off a wheel brace on a gradient.
A soft front found on a driveway with children already in the back. The object sat comfortably inside the repairable area, so it came away from the rim, took an internal patch, and went back on balanced. They set off only a few minutes later than planned.
A screw sitting close enough to the edge of the tread that the standard rules any patch out. We showed the driver exactly where it was and why the answer had to be no, then put a new tyre of the same size on rather than take money for something destined to let go.
A tyre topped up on two consecutive mornings before anyone rang us. It was still repairable, just, because it had never been driven properly flat. Left another day it would have been a replacement rather than a repair.
Anything with a deadline attached to it. If the car has to move at a particular time, say so on the phone and you go up the list.
No. The queue moves; the work does not. Reaming, patching and balancing take the time they take, done to BS AU 159 every time.
It is a repair worth booking rather than an emergency, but do not leave it running low. Underinflation is what wrecks the casing and turns a cheap fix into a new tyre.
Yes, as long as we can get alongside the car and the ground is reasonably level. Most jobs happen on drives, in workplace parking or at the kerb.
You get told straight away, with the tyre in front of you, and a price for a replacement before we go any further. Nothing gets done that you have not agreed to.
