Nail found late at night after coming off the M6 at Coventry? A repair to BS AU 159 through the night can have the car ready for the morning, if the journey from London suits you.
Night punctures along the M6 surface when the traffic thins: a screw discovered on reaching home in Bedworth after a late shift, a warning light near Castle Bromwich on the way back from an evening at the NEC, a soft tyre found at Hilton Park on a long overnight drive. A garage in Walsall or Cannock will not open until morning, and a tyre left losing air may be beyond repair by then.
Pull over once the dashboard warning shows; a tyre run soft rarely survives. Once it is parked safely, off comes the wheel so the tyre's inner lining can be examined. Anything up to 6 mm, well away from both edges of the tread, gets a patch-plug meeting BS AU 159, and the wheel is refitted to torque. It is a long night drive from NW2, so the price and travel are confirmed on the call first.
The same Brent Cross team also handles locking wheel nut removal on the M6 and 24 hour tyre service on the M6, booked on the same call.
A Bedworth driveway, Hilton Park or Corley services, or a lit Coventry retail car park, where site rules permit it, suit a repair after dark. No plug ever goes in on the M6 carriageway, its slip roads or inside an emergency area.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the M6 page
A puncture noticed late on the way home to Nuneaton from J3 can still be looked at that night. Nuneaton station, the Ropewalk Carpark and side roads in Attleborough are clear places to name. Park up somewhere bright, and say whether the tyre is fully deflated or merely low, since that often decides between a repair and a replacement.
A late M6 repair is off the table when a screw sits in the tread shoulder, the sidewall gapes from a gash, or a run on the flat to a Nuneaton street broke the casing down inside. Then a replacement is the only safe answer. If you need sleep before a shift, leave the car on a Nuneaton driveway or other reachable spot, say which drawer or pocket holds the locking key, and agree how the fitter lets you know the work is finished.
