The question everybody actually wants answered is how long they have got, and the honest answer depends on what the tyre is doing rather than on the clock. A tyre losing a pound or two a day will get you home and probably through the week. One that has dropped ten pounds since this morning is on a timer, because as the pressure falls the sidewall flexes further on every rotation, and flexing generates heat. Heat is what destroys tyres, not the hole.
That is why the sensible move on finding a soft tyre is to stop using it rather than to top it up and press on. A tyre kept at pressure with a nail in it is a repair. The same tyre driven for twenty miles at half pressure is a purchase. We would far rather come to a car sitting on a driveway in Ashley Park than meet the same car at the roadside two days later with the casing broken up inside.
The tyre is the small part of the problem. Losing a car for a day in Walton-on-Thames costs a school pick-up, a shift, a job you have already been paid for, and none of that is fixed by an appointment on Thursday. Tight in Oatlands, easy in Lower Green: neither stops the job. Level in Burwood Park, sloping in Walton Town: we set the car straight first.

The bridge and the town centre roads jam readily, so the instinct in Walton is always to keep moving and sort the tyre later. It is the wrong instinct. A car parked up on a side street off Terrace Road with a nail in it is a straightforward job. The same car after an afternoon of stop-start driving on a soft tyre very often is not.
That is a real leak and it is accelerating, because the softer it gets the more it works itself. Park it, ring, and let the repair happen while the tyre is still worth repairing.
Understandable and usually the wrong call. Air pumped into a leaking tyre buys hours, not days, and the miles you cover in those hours are what decides whether the casing survives.
Steering that feels woolly at speed with no obvious cause is often a tyre well below pressure. Pull off somewhere safe rather than pressing on to the M25, and we will come to where you have stopped.
No, and there is nowhere to drive to in any case, because we come to the car. Topping up and driving is the single most common reason a repairable tyre becomes a replacement.
Typical arrival across Walton is 30 to 60 minutes, whether you are on a driveway, at work or pulled in at the roadside. Time-critical jobs get moved up the run.
Still worth doing properly. A slow leak is usually a small object or a bead issue, both of which are cheap to fix now and expensive to ignore until the tyre goes flat somewhere inconvenient.
Yes. The wheel comes off, the tyre comes off the rim on the van, the leak is found and sealed from the inside, and the wheel goes back on torqued properly. The car never moves.
We look, and we say. Damage outside the central tread band, a hole over 6mm, or a casing that has already broken up inside all mean a replacement, and you get told before anything is charged for.
