The commuter version of this problem has its own shape. The car goes into the station car park at seven in the morning, sits there all day, and at half past six you come back to a tyre that is flat and a train home that has already gone. Nothing about that is dramatic and all of it is annoying, because the car is in a car park with no garage open and you have no way of getting it anywhere.
It is also, from the fitter's point of view, one of the easiest jobs there is. The car is parked, level, and going nowhere; there is room alongside; and there is no traffic to work in. So it gets treated as a priority because of your evening rather than because the car is in danger. The wheel comes off, the tyre comes off the rim, the casing is inspected from the inside, the hole is reamed, plugged and patched to BS AU 159, and the wheel goes back on balanced and torqued. Around half an hour, and you drive home rather than arranging a lift.
The nursery closes at six and charges by the minute after that. We come to wherever the car is in Potters Bar with a live ETA, so you know whether to ring ahead. A driveway in South Mimms, a work car park or the roadside, whichever applies. Blocked drive in South Mimms? Open kerb in Darkes Lane? Either works. Which street in The Walk, which way the car sits in Oakmere, and we are set.

A car that has sat still all day is the ideal thing to repair: level ground, room to work and nobody waiting behind you. That is the opposite of what you get trying to fit a garage visit around a commute. The tyre gets dealt with in the car park or on the drive, to the same standard as anywhere, and the evening carries on as planned.
A commuter came back to a flat nearside front after a day in town. Repaired in the car park before seven and driven home the same evening.
A driver spotted a screw on the way in and rang from the platform. The car was repaired during the day and was ready when they got back.
A soft tyre found on Darkes Lane with a boot full of shopping. Dealt with where the car stood rather than unloading it into a taxi.
Yes, and it is one of the simplest jobs going. Say where the car is parked and it is done before you get back.
Not usually. The work is outside the car, and payment is card or contactless once it is finished.
You get a call, the choice is yours, and a correct replacement goes on from the van rather than the job being left half done.
Around half an hour once the fitter is with the car, from the wheel coming off to it going back on balanced and torqued.
Yes, out to Brookmans Park, Cuffley, South Mimms and towards Barnet, at any hour of the day or night.
