A nail in the tread found late at night on a Boley Park drive does not have to be a new tyre by morning. Out-of-hours repair means it is patched overnight.
Late punctures in Lichfield can turn up in two places: on estate drives in Boley Park and Chadsmead when someone checks the car before bed, and in Fradley Park yards where a van due out at five is found with a corner down. The nail came from the A51 or the estate roads and has been leaking for days. Because most tyre places are shut, the temptation is to accept a replacement at any price; an overnight repair means a qualifying tyre is mended instead.
The repair at midnight is the daytime one by torchlight: tyre off the wheel on the Boley Park drive, inside inspected, patch-plug fitted if the hole is within the tread's centre band and no larger than 6 mm, then refitted and balanced ready for the morning. Should the inside reveal a shoulder hole or a chewed liner, a replacement is offered and its cost given on the spot. The repair cost, as in daylight, is agreed when you call.
If the job turns out to be different, see locking wheel nut removal, new tyres fitted or broken tyre replacement in Lichfield.
Residential drives across Boley Park, Chadsmead, Leomansley and Elmhurst, Fradley Park yards for vans, and both Lichfield station car parks. The A38 and A5 are as out of bounds at midnight as at midday; leave them at Streethay or Wall first.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Lichfield page
Night repairs work best at a meeting point off the road, and a car left in Short Street Car Park or Church Road (A) Car Park in Brownhills, where the operator allows it, can be reached right there. Ring with the bay number and the car's colour; once there, the tyre is checked for a safe repair. Where the puncture lies in the shoulder, a replacement is offered instead.
Not every puncture can be fixed at night in Lichfield. A hole in the sidewall or shoulder, or a casing that was driven flat along the A51, falls outside BS AU 159 and needs a new tyre instead, which you are told about before fitting. Working nights on Fradley Park means you may not be with the car, and that is fine: agree where it stands and how the fitter reaches the locking key, and the work goes ahead unattended.
