What actually turns a puncture into an emergency? Not the tyre. Nearly always it is the day it has landed in the middle of: a car parked up while you are at work and a pickup due at three, a shift beginning within the hour, somebody who has to be over in Camden by ten. The tyre is simply the reason the day has stopped working.
So priority means arrival time and nothing else. The wheel still comes off, the tyre still comes off the wheel, the liner still gets checked, and where the injury falls inside the repairable band it is reamed out, sealed from inside to BS AU 159 and balanced. Where it sits out on the shoulder, or on the sidewall itself, it cannot be done, and you hear that within the first couple of minutes rather than after twenty. Turning up early is the service being offered. Hurrying the work would not be.
Half the urgency in these calls comes from not knowing how long it will take. An hour you can plan around; an unknown you cannot. Stopped on Holloway Road or sat on a drive, that sequence does not change. Level in Nag's Head, sloping in Hillmarton: we set the car straight first. Underground parking in Caledonian Road or Tufnell Park is worth flagging.

Anything urgent in Holloway meets the same obstacle: the roads are full. Taking a punctured car from a permit street to a tyre place and back is most of a morning even when nothing goes wrong, and the tyre is being damaged for every minute of that. Bringing the repair to the car, off Caledonian Road or up towards Tufnell Park, is what keeps a puncture to an hour of your day.
A tyre going down with sixty minutes before pickup. The nail was sitting centrally, the wheel went back on balanced with a quarter of an hour spare, and the alternative that afternoon would have been a taxi and a car abandoned on a permit bay.
Somebody rang from work having noticed a soft tyre at lunch, with no realistic chance of getting anywhere before six. It was done while the car sat there. Their evening stayed normal instead of being spent ringing round for a garage still open.
A puncture right at the inner edge of the repairable band is a judgement, and it is made with the tyre off and the liner in view rather than hopefully. That one fell inside the line and was mended. Half an inch further out and the honest answer would have been a new tyre.
Usually not, and nobody honest would try. What we can do is explain what it hinges on and arrive carrying the right size in case the answer turns out to be no.
Thirty to sixty minutes is normal and the fitter covering N7 is not coming from the far side of London. Where the timing is genuinely impossible you will be told on the phone rather than left planning around us.
Only if you are somewhere safe and confident of doing it properly. On a busy street, leave it alone. Changing a wheel with traffic passing a few feet away is not worth the twenty minutes it saves.
Not if nobody has driven it. Standing flat does far less damage than moving flat, and that is the single most useful thing to know while you are waiting for us.
Every day of the year, weekends included. Saturdays around the Nag's Head are busy for us, mostly because it is the first chance people have had to deal with something they noticed on Wednesday.
