A puncture heard hissing on Tiverton Road at midnight can be repaired there overnight, from the inside, so the car is ready for the nine o'clock lecture without a needless new tyre.
Night punctures in Selly Oak can be the Bristol Road's screws discovered late. A student gets back to Bournbrook from a shift and hears the tyre; a nurse finds the car on the Raddlebarn side soft at 11pm. The hour makes it feel like a crisis, but the tyre is usually a straightforward repair, and it deserves a repair rather than a replacement sold at 1am because it was easier. The night version follows the same rules as the daytime one.
The wheel comes off on the terrace or the drive, the tyre is stripped off the rim by lamplight, and the hole is checked: in the central tread band, no bigger than 6 mm, no scarring inside from being run flat. The patch-plug is bonded in from within, then the wheel is balanced, refitted and the pressure set. Should the tyre fail the check, the fitter says so at the car; the late-hour charge was covered on the call, so nothing new comes up at the kerb.
The same Brent Cross team also handles locking wheel nut removal and flat tyre help in Selly Oak, booked on the same call.
Bournbrook's permit streets with the permit showing, driveways in Selly Park and Weoley Park, roads by Selly Oak station, the retail park bays. The Bristol Road and Aston Webb Boulevard are off the list at any hour.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Selly Oak page
Working late on Kings Norton Trading Estate or the Stirchley Trading Estate and found a nail in the tyre? Tell us which unit the car is outside and whether the gates close at night. A repair is made where the hole permits; otherwise a new tyre is fitted. Leave the wheel-lock key in the cabin, ready for the fitter.
A midnight puncture in Selly Oak is not always repairable. Damage to the sidewall or the tyre's shoulder, or a hole wider than 6 mm, means a new tyre instead. Driving the last stretch from the A38 to Bournbrook on a flat wrecks the casing inside, even when the outside looks fine. If you will be asleep in the shared house or working a night shift, keep the car in its permit bay with the permit showing, say where the wheel-lock key is, and give a number for the morning.
