The pressure warning light is a useful thing that is widely misunderstood. On most cars it works by watching the sensors in each wheel, or in some systems by comparing how fast each wheel is turning, and it triggers when a tyre falls a set amount below where it should be. What it does not do is tell you why. It cannot distinguish a nail from a cold morning, it will not warn you about a tyre that is dangerously worn, and on a slow leak it typically lights up long after the tyre has been losing air.
It also has a habit of staying on after a repair until the system relearns, which convinces people the problem was never fixed. The light is a prompt to look, not a diagnosis. When we come out, the pressures get read properly, the cause gets found, and the system gets reset before we leave so the light means something again.
One puncture should not cost you a whole day, and it usually does not need to. When the job is time-critical we push it up the list and come to you across Surrey, with everything needed to finish it at the kerb: wheel off, tyre off the rim, damage checked from the inside, a proper internal repair to British Standard, rebalanced and back on. The wheel comes off in East Molesey, not on a ramp in Weybridge. Nothing is towed out of Hurst Park or Kent Town; the work finishes there.

Walton Road and the A309 collect potholes from steady use, and a knock hard enough to start a slow leak is usually hard enough to trigger the warning a day or two later. If the light comes on shortly after you have hit something, take it seriously and park the car rather than continuing towards the bridge, because the useful window for a repair closes with every mile.
Usually a sensor that has lost its charge or a system that has not been reset after previous work. The tyres are the first thing to check and not always the answer.
That is the system doing its job. Park it rather than pressing on, because the distance covered after the warning is what decides whether this is a repair or a purchase.
Some systems need a relearn drive or a reset tool before they clear. We reset before leaving, so a light that comes back afterwards means something rather than nothing.
No. It is not precise but it does not come on for nothing. Check all four against the plate in the door shut and see which one is the odd one out.
Some systems name the wheel and many do not. Either way a gauge on all four settles it in two minutes.
Sometimes, after a short drive. We reset the system before leaving so you are not left guessing.
No. Cold weather takes pressure out of all four fairly evenly. One tyre well below the others is the pattern that means a leak.
Typically 30 to 60 minutes across West Molesey, and we come to the car whether it is on a driveway, at work or pulled in at the roadside.
