A screw discovered in a tyre at bedtime on a Packington Avenue drive is patched from inside during the night, so the Shard End car is ready for the morning without paying for a new tyre.
The overnight repair is for the Shard End driver who finds a nail at ten at night and starts at six. The tyre is sound, the hole is small and mid-tread, and replacing it would be waste; waiting for a Chester Road garage to open would mean missing the shift. Estate roads round Shard End Crescent and the humps that push screws into tread produce exactly this kind of puncture, and a patch-plug bonded at midnight holds as well as one bonded at noon.
With lights on the van, the fitter jacks the car on the Shard End drive, takes off the wheel and strips the tyre to see the liner, since a tyre driven soft along Cole Hall Lane may be damaged inside. Where the hole measures 6 mm or under and lies well inside the tread, in its middle three-quarters, it is patched from inside to BS AU 159. Sidewall damage means a replacement, said honestly. The repair figure is named on the call and matches the daytime price.
You can book locking wheel nut removal in Shard End or emergency tyre replacement in Shard End on the same call.
Drives and kerbs anywhere on the estate at night, whether the crescent, Packington Avenue, Heathway or a close off Cole Hall Lane. The country park car parks may be locked after dark, so a car there should come back to a street.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Shard End page
Late punctures out towards Water Orton can surface when drivers walk back to cars left at Water Orton station or Coleshill Parkway station. Stay in a brighter part of the car park if you are allowed to remain there and check the tyre with a torch. A puncture in the tread band can be repaired there; a split or bulge means a new tyre.
A late repair in Shard End is not always possible. If the object has gone into the shoulder or sidewall, BS AU 159 rules out a patch and a replacement tyre is offered instead; if the tyre was driven flat from Chelmsley Wood, the casing is often too damaged to trust. Asleep before an early start, or at work overnight? Park it on the Heathway or crescent drive, pop the locking key inside and agree how the fitter gets access. Estate streets are reachable at any hour.
