Found a screw in the tread after a late shift in Small Heath? The tyre need not be replaced. An overnight repair at the kerb has it holding air again, the same tyre saved.
The aim of a night-time repair is to save a tyre that would otherwise be lost. Leave a slow puncture on Muntz Street until morning and it may be flat by dawn, and the drive to a garage finishes the job. Getting the hole patched while the casing is still undamaged keeps a sound tyre on the car. This page covers repairs only: an object in the central tread, examined from inside and mended to BS AU 159 at any hour.
Phone or WhatsApp the size, the street and roughly when the tyre went soft. Under the van's work lamp, the fitter takes the wheel off, locates the screw and inspects the liner. Should the hole be 6 mm or smaller and in the middle band, it is sealed with a bonded patch-plug. Damage beyond that is explained there and then, with the choice of a new tyre now or later. You agree the repair cost, which is the same at night, before the van leaves.
If the job turns out to be different, see locking wheel nut removal, broken tyre replacement or wheel balancing in Small Heath.
Overnight repairs are done on the Herbert Road and Somerville Road terraces, in side streets off Green Lane and in yards behind the Coventry Road shops. A tyre that goes soft on the Highway needs to reach Hay Mills or a residential road first.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Small Heath page
A tyre that goes flat after dark near Spring Road station or Acocks Green station can usually be repaired on a nearby residential road. Avoid stopping on Olton Boulevard East itself if traffic is still moving; find a side turning with a streetlight instead. Tell us which station you are close to and whether the puncture was caused by a nail or a kerb.
Not every overnight call ends in a patch. A bolt through the shoulder, a split sidewall or a tyre driven flat from the Highway to Green Lane can only be replaced, since running on no air shreds the casing past saving. If you are sleeping before an airport shift, leave the car on your Somerville Road terrace, arrange the locking key with a neighbour and say how you want to hear the outcome. A replacement is only fitted once you agree to it.
