While you are standing there waiting, the useful thing to do is not to look at the tyre. It is to make two or three phone calls. Ring whoever is expecting you and give them a real time rather than a hopeful one, because a delay announced early is a much smaller problem than a delay discovered late. If there is a school pickup, a delivery slot, an appointment, sort out the fallback now while you have half an hour with nothing else to do. People tend to spend that half hour staring at a wheel and then find themselves apologising to three different people at once afterwards.
The tyre itself needs nothing from you. This town is built on long boulevards and sweeping roundabouts, so the nearest useful thing is rarely round the corner, and that is precisely why the car should not be driven anywhere. Leave it in the station car park, on the drive at Panshanger or in a bay at Shire Park, and let the van come to it. Typical arrival is 30 to 60 minutes and you will be given a real figure on the call, which is exactly the number you want when you are ringing everybody else. Cars, SUVs and 4x4s, all hours, all year.
There are two kinds of flat. One is the slow one you catch on a driveway in Panshanger, down a good few psi since Friday and still holding enough to look fine. Either way you are not left stranded in Welwyn Garden City and not paying for a recovery truck to move a car that needs one tyre. Nothing is towed out of Peartree or Woodhall; the work finishes there. Pressures set before we leave Sherrards, and the same on the A1(M).

Welwyn Garden City was planned around long distances between things, which means a flat here rarely happens somewhere convenient and a lift is rarely two minutes away. The half hour you spend waiting is far better used on the phone than on the wheel. Give people a real time, arrange the fallback, and let the car sit where it is on Bridge Road, in Peartree or out towards the A1057.
A driver stuck near the Howard Centre rang the school and their office before ringing us. By the time the van arrived nothing was hanging over them and the wait was simply a wait.
A flat near Handside where the driver spent forty minutes hoping it would resolve itself. It did not, and three people ended up rearranged in a rush that a single early call would have avoided.
A driver at Shire Park arranged a lift as a backup and then did not need it. The window given on the phone held, the car was ready, and having a plan cost nothing.
Real rather than flattering. It comes from where the closest fitter actually is and how the roads are behaving, and if that shifts you get a call instead of silence.
Ring and find out first. Half the time the window means nothing has to change. The point is to know early enough that you still have a choice.
Yes, provided we can get to the wheel and know which car it is. Plenty of jobs here are done with nobody standing beside them.
Give us the deadline at the start of the call. A fixed one moves the job up the list, and where it truly cannot be met you hear that rather than discovering it later.
It depends where the damage sits, and you get a fair indication on the phone and a definite answer once the tyre is off the rim. Both possibilities are covered before anybody sets off.
