Hiss from the tyre at midnight outside the house in Uplands, car needed for Grove Lane at seven: the puncture is repaired at the Smethwick kerb overnight rather than the tyre being replaced.
Smethwick punctures found after dark are often modest ones. Think of a cabbie between Bearwood fares, a nurse back from the Midland Metropolitan near eleven, or someone off the last train at Rolfe Street who catches a soft hiss outside a Victorian terrace. Usually a nail has lodged in the tread while the casing still holds air, exactly the damage any tyre bay patches by day. Binning a healthy tyre just because the clock says midnight makes no sense, so it gets mended where it stands.
The repair does not change with the hour. Under the van's work lamps the wheel comes away from the hub, the tyre is unseated and peeled back from the rim, and the liner is studied closely; then a BS AU 159 patch-plug closes a central hole that falls inside the size limit. Shoulder nails, or a casing run flat along the High Street, rule a patch out, and you are told that before any replacement is mentioned. After dark the repair costs what it does by day, agreed by phone.

Drives and front forecourts across Uplands, Bearwood and Warley; kerbside on Rolfe Street or Cape Hill where the van can tuck in; the Midland Metropolitan car park once security knows; quieter turnings near the Bearwood taxi rank. Never an unlit pull-in on the Oldbury Road.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Smethwick page
A screw found late on a car parked in Newtown or Lozells does not automatically mean a new tyre. Leave it on the street, or if you are out, wait near Jewellery Quarter station or St Paul's station in a lit spot, and the fitter inspects it there. Overnight, a tread hole is sealed with a combined plug patch fitted from within; a sidewall wound means a fresh tyre.
Some damage defeats an overnight patch. Sidewall cuts, screws buried in the shoulder and tyres dragged flat down the A457 all leave the casing beyond repair, and a new tyre takes over. Being in bed in Uplands, or halfway through a Midland Metropolitan night shift, is no barrier to booking: tell us who has the keys, how to reach the car and whether the locking wheel key is in the glovebox. A length of terraced kerb the van can draw up beside is all the work needs.
