Most cars now carry a pressure sensor inside each wheel, bolted to the valve, and it changes what a puncture repair involves. The sensor sits where the tyre has to come off, so it gets handled every time. It has a rubber seal, a nut and a small torque figure of its own, and it has a battery sealed inside it that lasts several years and then does not. Handle one carelessly and you turn a repair into a repair plus a sensor.
So the sequence matters. The tyre is broken down away from the sensor rather than across it, the seal and the valve are inspected while everything is apart, the nut is set to its own torque figure rather than to feel, and once the wheel is back on the system is reset so the car relearns the position. It adds a few minutes to a job. It saves the return visit that happens when a warning light stays on afterwards.
The car has to work tonight. Urgent jobs go to the front of the queue and the van comes to wherever the car is standing in Weybridge, typically inside 30 to 60 minutes with a live ETA. A Whiteley Village cul-de-sac or a Hamm Court main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in St George's Hill or a narrow bay on the M25 near junction 11 is usually workable.

The A317 up Monument Hill and the lanes around Oatlands Village are tight enough that changing anything at the roadside yourself is an unappealing idea, and the M25 nearby is worse. Bringing the work to the car means the sensor gets handled properly rather than quickly, which is usually the difference between one bill and two.
Breaking the bead in the wrong place puts the machine straight onto the sensor. It is entirely avoidable and it is one of the commonest ways a routine repair gets expensive.
Often the system has not been reset after the wheel came off, so the car is still looking for a sensor where it used to be. A reset before we leave prevents the confusion.
Sensor batteries are sealed in and last a number of years. If one dies while the tyre is off, better to know then than to be chasing an intermittent light for months.
It should, provided the tyre is broken down away from it and the seal and nut are treated properly. That care is part of the job rather than an extra.
Usually the system needs resetting or a short relearn drive. We reset before leaving so a light that returns afterwards is telling you something real.
We will tell you if one has failed and what it needs. The important thing is that you find out while the tyre is off rather than a week later.
A few minutes, yes, and it is worth them. Most single-wheel jobs are still finished well inside the hour from arrival.
Yes, around the clock. Get to the hard shoulder or a safe spot, stay clear of the traffic and ring with your direction of travel.
