Can it be mended before the school run? That is the question we are asked most, usually at about half past seven, and the honest answer turns on one thing: where the damage sits. A nail through the tread centre comes out, the hole is reamed and patched, and the wheel goes back balanced. A cut in the shoulder does not, however innocent it looks. Priority means we move your job up the list and reach you sooner. It does not mean anybody hurries the repair. Nobody is well served by a rushed patch on Holloway Road at eight in the morning.
Hospital and clinic appointments are the ones people apologise for ringing about, and they should not. An appointment that took months to get is exactly the sort of thing an urgent dispatch exists for. Roadside on City Road, a car park or your own drive, it is the same visit. An Angel cul-de-sac or a Highbury main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in Canonbury or a narrow bay on Essex Road is usually workable.

Islington finds its punctures in the morning, because the car has stood all night in a permit bay and the tyre has had eight quiet hours to go down. That is also the worst possible hour, with Upper Street already filling up and Essex Road behind it. We start early for exactly that reason.
A nurse due on the ward and a tyre going down fast in a bay near Angel. We got there first, pulled the wheel, found a screw sitting square in the tread and had her away with minutes to spare.
A soft front tyre at seven in the morning and a hospital letter on the kitchen table. Repairable, thankfully. The car went, and nobody had to phone and explain a missed slot.
A parent in Barnsbury found the offside rear on its rim at the kerb. We treated it as urgent, patched and balanced it, and the school run left only a little late.
Across N1 it is typically 30 to 60 minutes, and you get a realistic window rather than a flattering one.
No. Same method, same standard, same rebalance afterwards. The only thing that changes is your position in the queue.
If you can do it safely where you are parked, by all means, though on most streets here there is no room to work between the passing traffic and the car in front. A space saver also leaves the punctured tyre still needing attention.
Yes, ring. That light is telling you air is leaving. Finding out why while there is still air in there is the cheap version of this.
You are told immediately and given the reason. The right size is usually with us, so the car tends to be moving again within the hour anyway.
