Where the damage sits settles the outcome, and it settles it before anybody starts discussing options. A puncture in the middle of the tread can be repaired properly and permanently. One in the shoulder, or anywhere on the sidewall, cannot be, at any price, by anyone. So the first thing that happens on an urgent call in N6 is that somebody looks, says which of the two it is, and then gets on with whichever job that means. Priority gets us there sooner. It does not get a sidewall mended, and no fitter worth calling will pretend it does.
It is worth being specific on the phone, because it makes the job faster. Where the car is and what it is next to; whether it is on a drive, in a bay or at the roadside; the make, model and the size off the sidewall; and what the deadline actually is. From Dartmouth Park to Highgate Village, the same visit. The wheel comes off in Dartmouth Park, not on a ramp in Muswell Hill. Nothing is towed out of Archway or Dartmouth Park; the work finishes there. Archway, Hampstead Heath and the streets around Dartmouth Park are minutes apart.

Traffic is why speed counts for more than usual here. Getting off the hill to any tyre place means Archway Road, or the crawl through Archway itself, and at the wrong hour that journey outlasts the repair. Coming to the car instead, whether it is on a driveway in Fitzroy Park or a bay near Waterlow Park, deletes the journey from your day.
A soft tyre spotted on the way out of the door in Dartmouth Park. The nail sat well inside the mendable zone, so the wheel came off, the hole was cleaned and sealed, and it went back balanced with time in hand. Doing it at the kerb rescued the whole morning.
Somebody due across town rang from Highgate West Hill with a tyre going down. Arriving quickly was the useful part of it. The repair itself took exactly as long as a repair takes, but starting at seven rather than nine was what saved the shift.
It had gone in at an angle right where the tread rolls over into the sidewall. Nothing holds a patch in that spot. The verdict came within a minute of the tyre coming off, and a new one went on so nobody drove away with a countdown running.
Normally within the 30 to 60 minute window, though Archway Road at eight in the morning is what it is. You get a realistic time when you ring rather than a flattering one.
There is no hurried version. The procedure is identical however fast the callout was: tyre off the rim, casing inspected, hole reamed and sealed from the inside to BS AU 159, wheel balanced.
There is nowhere to drive to. All the work happens where the car is, which is rather the point, and taking a deflating tyre down these hills is the surest way to lose it completely.
We can, though there is seldom a reason to. Doing the repair while we are with you costs one visit rather than two, and a space saver is poor company on Highgate gradients.
It is looked after while the tyre is off and refitted with it. Sensors are easy to break if somebody is careless with a bead, which is one more argument against letting a can of sealant near the valve.
