A puncture spotted at 11pm on Serpentine Road or a drive off Lordswood Road can be repaired overnight in Harborne, from the inside, so there is no missed morning and no needless new tyre.
Overnight punctures in Harborne are daytime punctures noticed late. A screw picked up on Harborne Park Road hisses when a QE nurse gets home at midnight; a tyre that went soft on a car parked all evening behind the High Street shows on the dashboard as the last diners leave. The tyre is usually saveable, and the hour does not change the rules. What it should not become is a replacement sold at 1am because a repair felt like more trouble.
The night repair is the same as the day one. Wheel off on the drive, tyre stripped from the rim by the light of the van's lamp, and the hole is checked: central tread only, no more than 6 mm across, no damage from driving on it flat. A patch-plug goes in from inside, then balancing and refitting. If the tyre fails those tests you are told at the car; the figure stated on the call before the van left was the daytime figure.

Drives off War Lane and Vivian Road, the avenues round Queens Park, roads near the QE where staff park, and the parking behind the High Street shops. The High Street's own bays are unworkable at any hour.

A late puncture near Selly Oak station or University station need not mean leaving the car overnight. Move it to a lit side road in Selly Park or Bournbrook only if the tyre allows a very short, slow roll, then call. Tread punctures are repaired where possible; anything outside the repairable zone means a replacement tyre is fitted instead at the same spot.
Some Harborne late calls end in a replacement tyre after all. A screw through the tyre's shoulder, a sidewall gash or a hole over 6 mm cannot be mended safely, and a tyre driven flat home along Lordswood Road has usually shredded its insides. Planning to sleep through the visit, or working nights at the QE? Keep the car on its Harborne drive or a road near Metchley Lane, tell us where the wheel-lock key sits, and unlock any side gate.
