A screw in the tread found at 11 p.m. on a Bexleyheath drive is no reason to buy a tyre. Rescue Tyres patches it that night, and the car is fit for the early run down the A2.
Night-time repairs are for the driver who gets home to Welling and finds the rear tyre slumped under the street light on a tyre barely a year old. Or the Erith shift worker who hears a hiss at the end of a late. Throwing away a good tyre because the sun has set is a waste, and the repair kit travels at night as well as the stock, so a late call from DA16 or DA8 can end in a patch rather than a new tyre.
The fitter works under the van's lights: wheel off, tyre demounted, the hole checked from inside against the limits, tread centre and 6 mm or less with the liner intact. Passing that test, the tyre is patched from within, refitted, balanced and torqued. Failing it, because the hole is in the sidewall or the car was run flat along the Broadway, he says so and fits a new tyre from the van stock. The price, unchanged at night, is quoted before he leaves Brent Cross for Bexley.

Any level, lit spot with the car on it: a Sidcup drive, a Welling street, a Thamesmead estate road, a close in Crayford. Not the A2, A20 or A2016 carriageways at any hour; come off at the Danson or Black Prince exits, or at Foots Cray, first.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Bexley page
Night repairs in the south of the borough can start near Sidcup Hill or Foots Cray High Street. Find a lit turning where the car sits level, clear of bus stops. A puncture in the main tread is repaired where the car stands; a split, or a nail by the sidewall, means swapping in a new tyre of identical size.
At night in Bexley, a new tyre is sometimes the only honest outcome. Shoulder and sidewall injuries are beyond patching, and a casing run flat from the Black Prince interchange to home has a broken casing. If you will be asleep in Bexleyheath or working at Queen Mary's Hospital, arrange on the call how the locking key will reach the fitter and where exactly the car sits. A drive in DA6 or DA14 is easy to reach without you standing by.
