A nail spotted in a tyre after dark on a Woodgate drive or at Newman University is patched from the inside during the night, so a Bartley Green car is on the road by morning without buying a new tyre.
The overnight repair suits Bartley Green well. A screw from the estate roads found at eleven at night outside a house on Adams Hill, or a student's car discovered soft in the Genners Lane car park after a late lecture, is a sound tyre with a small hole in it. Replacing it at night would be waste; leaving it until a Quinton garage opens means missing an early start over the hills. The patch-plug that closes it at noon works the same at midnight.
Lighting comes with the fitter, who jacks the car up on the Bartley Green drive or in the bay, takes the wheel and tyre off and checks the liner, because a tyre driven soft down Jiggins Lane may be chewed inside. If the hole is small, under 6 mm, and sits in the tread's middle band, the BS AU 159 patch-plug is fitted from the inside and the wheel refitted. Sidewall damage means a new tyre, said plainly. Darkness does not raise the repair figure.

Drives and unrestricted kerbs across the Jiggins Lane, Woodgate, California and Frankley-edge estates at night, or the Newman University car park if security will raise the barrier. A car on a reservoir lane bend should reach a junction or an estate street first.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Bartley Green page
Night-time punctures around Rubery and Rednal can be found on driveways first thing, or on the way home along Sir Herbert Austin Way (A38). If you can stop on a lit residential street, do so, and set the parking brake firmly. A tread-area puncture is plugged and patched from inside the tyre; a cut sidewall needs a new tyre instead.
Some Bartley Green tyres cannot be mended at night. Damage in the shoulder or sidewall sits outside BS AU 159 and means a replacement, and a tyre rolled flat down Scotland Lane has usually had its casing chewed from inside. Planning to sleep, or working through the night? Park on the drive, tuck the locking key inside the glovebox and settle on a way in. A car on an unrestricted Woodgate or California kerb is reachable at any hour; the campus car park depends on security.
