A screw found at midnight on a Greet street needs the same patch it would get at noon, done by the van's lights, so a Sparkhill tyre that qualifies is mended, not replaced.
An overnight puncture in Sparkhill can be a slow one that chooses its moment: a pressure warning heading home down the Warwick Road, a hiss heard while unloading behind a Stratford Road shop, a cab found flat between fares on a side street off Stoney Lane. A hole in the tread's centre band, under 6 mm, is as repairable at night as in daylight. Replacing a tyre that can be patched because it is late is money thrown away.
Ring with the road, the size and how the tyre went down, and the fitter heads to the terrace or yard with lighting and the repair kit. Off comes the tyre from the wheel and the inside is checked; a hole that passes is sealed with an internal BS AU 159 patch-plug, and the wheel is balanced before refitting. A sidewall split by a Springfield kerb means a new tyre instead, fitted on the same visit. The figure agreed on the phone is not raised for night work.
Once you have rung, we can also cover locking wheel nut removal, emergency tyre repair in Sparkhill and new tyres fitted.
Terraces in Springfield and Greet, the streets off Showell Green Lane, and yards behind the Stratford Road shops or at Tyseley. After dark the fitter cannot work on the A34 red route or in the bus lanes on the Warwick Road.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Sparkhill page
For night repairs, the side streets off Sherbourne Road and Dudley Park Road on the B4146, or off Highgate Road (A4167), give a fitter more room than a main road. Keep the car where it has stopped if moving it would mean driving on the flat. Send us the location, say whether there is a nail or a cut, and on the call we can usually say if a repair looks likely.
A Sparkhill night repair is not always possible. Damage to the sidewall or shoulder, from a Springfield kerb or a pothole towards Tyseley, needs a new tyre, and so does a tyre run flat along the A34 with the casing crushed inside. Stop driving at the first sign of softness. If you are on shift or asleep, explain where the locking key can be found and park the vehicle legally on a terrace, or in a yard with access agreed beforehand.
