Two beliefs cause most of the trouble on urgent calls. The first is that a run flat tyre will get you anywhere you like once it has lost pressure, when in fact it has a strict distance and speed limit and is often unrepairable afterwards. The second is that a space saver in the boot solves the day, when it limits you to a low speed and leaves the real tyre still to sort out.
What actually solves the morning is having the puncture dealt with where the car stands. Say on the phone what the clock looks like, because that is what moves you up the list. The repair itself does not change: wheel off, tyre off the rim, casing checked inside, hole reamed, patch fitted from within, wheel balanced and torqued back on. Where the damage sits decides whether it is possible at all, and if it is in the shoulder or the sidewall you get told immediately rather than after we have set up.
Urgent means the clock, not just the tyre. Hospital appointment, a delivery slot, someone to collect: those jobs go to the front of the queue and the van heads straight for you in NW6. Boxed in on a Brondesbury terrace or wide open in West Hampstead, say which on the phone. Tight in Shoot-Up Hill, easy in the Willesden Lane area: neither stops the job. The NW6 postcode and a street in Shoot-Up Hill: that is enough.

Mornings on the A5 are unforgiving, and a car with a soft tyre joining the Kilburn High Road at half seven is doing the one thing certain to make the repair harder. Because we come to the parked car, none of those miles happen and the tyre is usually still saveable.
A nail in the tread centre, found with a shift about to start. Repaired at the kerb while the owner finished breakfast, and the car left roughly when it should have.
A soft tyre on a car that was due to take somebody to an appointment booked months earlier. It was clean, central damage. Patched, balanced and away.
A driver had continued from the West Hampstead side on a deflated run flat, well past what those tyres tolerate. The casing was finished. We replaced it and explained why, which is more use than a lecture afterwards.
A job that starts, a train that goes, a child who has to be somewhere. Say what it is and we will be straight with you about whether we can make it.
It does not. The tyre still comes off the rim and the casing is still inspected. Only the order of the day changes.
It is normal now. Most cars are sold without one, and it is one of the main reasons roadside repair exists in the form it does.
You can, and it is usually the wrong move. The air will not stay in, and the miles you do on it are what tips a repair into a replacement.
You will know within minutes of us arriving, and the price of the alternative comes before any work, not after it.
