Nail found late at night after leaving the M40 at High Wycombe? It need not wait for a garage. If the damage allows, the puncture can be sealed overnight, so the car can leave on time the next day.
Night punctures near the M40 turn up after long days: a nail found on getting home to Thame, a warning light on the drive back from Birmingham, a soft tyre discovered in an Oxford hotel car park. The car might creep a short way, yet a conventional tyre bleeding air until dawn often ends up past saving, and a run-flat driven on is finished regardless.
The moment the warning lights, pull off and stop. Beside the car, wheel and tyre are separated and the liner checked by torchlight. Anything up to 6 mm, clear of the tread edges, takes a patch-plug to BS AU 159, then the wheel is bolted back to the correct torque. Run-flats that ran deflated get replaced. The repair cost is stated on the phone and matches daytime work.
If the job turns out to be different, see locking wheel nut removal on the M40, flat tyre help on the M40 or burst tyre replacement.
A Thame driveway, an Oxford hotel car park, subject to site permission, or Oxford services at J8a work for an overnight repair. Plugs never go in at the roadside, whether hard shoulder, slip road or Stokenchurch verge.

Puncture found after dark near J11? South of Banbury, Bloxham sits on the A361, with Church Street and South Newington Road both carrying it through the village, and King's Sutton station lies south of the junction. Name one of these or the Jubilee Park Car Park, wait somewhere safe with the hazards on, and describe where the damage is on the tread.
Sometimes a night repair is simply not possible. Damage in the shoulder of the tread or anywhere on the sidewall means a replacement, and a conventional tyre driven flat along the A40 into Wheatley usually has a ruined casing too. Where you will be asleep or on an early shift, the car can stay on a driveway in Thame or Princes Risborough; tell us where the locking key is, confirm the wheel can be reached and agree how you hear it is done.
