A nail found at midnight after the A34 drive home to Kidlington or Hall Green usually needs a repair, not a new tyre. We can fix it through the night so the morning can go ahead.
Late punctures often reveal themselves after the driver gets home. The warning light comes on leaving the A34 at Wolvercote, the car is parked on an Oxford street, and by midnight the tyre is soft. In Birmingham it might be a screw from Stratford Road found after a late shift in Sparkbrook. Often it is a simple tread puncture, and the worry is less the tyre itself than the morning drive with nowhere open.
A night repair uses exactly the same checks as a daytime one. The tyre comes off, the object is pulled and the inside is examined for damage from running soft. Provided the wound is 6 mm across at most and well inside the tread edges, it gets plugged and patched to BS AU 159. The overnight price matches the daytime one and is set on the call. If it will not repair, we explain why before a replacement is even mentioned.
Once you have rung, we can also cover locking wheel nut removal on the A34, broken tyre replacement on the A34 and puncture repair.
A residential street in Kidlington, an Oxford side road off the Woodstock Road or a driveway in Hall Green suits a night repair. Never sit waiting at Robin Hood Island or anywhere on the A34; if the car cannot move, 999.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the A34 page
North of Oxford, late-night repairs go best at a legal spot off the A34 and A40 junctions. Oxford Parkway station and the streets of Cutteslowe and Summertown are easy places to direct a fitter to. If the puncture is repairable the tyre is fixed there; if not, we discuss a replacement and price it before any work starts.
Some midnight breakdowns on the A34 end with a replacement rather than a repair. Damage in the shoulder or sidewall cannot be patched, and a tyre run flat round the Botley Interchange usually has a shredded inner lining. If you need sleep before an early start, park on your Abingdon drive or a legal Kennington street, leave word on the call about where the wheel lock key is hidden, and keep a phone within reach so the fitter can confirm access.
