Nail spotted in the tread late on a Hateley Heath drive and the car due out at seven: a West Bromwich fitter repairs it overnight where it stands, without selling you a tyre you do not need.
The late puncture in West Bromwich can be a small one. A taxi driver between fares at West Bromwich Central, a nurse leaving Lyndon at eleven, a driver home along Newton Road from the M6 who hears the hiss on the drive in Charlemont. The tyre has not been run flat, the nail is in the tread, and by daylight any tyre bay would patch it. The only obstacle is the clock, and a replacement bought at midnight for a repairable tyre is money thrown away.
After dark the standard holds. Under the van's lights the tyre is lifted off the rim, the liner examined, and a BS AU 159 patch-plug is bonded over a central hole of 6 mm or less. Should the nail prove to be in the shoulder, or the tyre have been driven flat along the Expressway, the fitter tells you and offers a replacement from the van instead. A B70 or B71 repair after dark is billed like a lunchtime one, settled by phone.

A lit drive in Hateley Heath, Hill Top or Charlemont, a Greets Green kerb with a gap for the van, the taxi streets around West Bromwich Central, a Sandwell General bay with security told. Not a dark lay-by on the A4041 Newton Road.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the West Bromwich page
A nail found in the evening on a car parked in Ocker Hill or Toll End can often be repaired at the kerb that night, provided the tyre has not been driven flat. If you are out at Great Bridge Retail Park, move to a bright part of the car park and tell us which row. Inspection of the tread comes first; only an unrepairable hole leads to talk of a new cover.
Not every midnight puncture in West Bromwich can be fixed. Once the sidewall or shoulder is damaged, or the tyre has been run flat along the Expressway, the casing is finished and replacement is the honest answer. Night workers at Sandwell General, or anyone in bed in Hateley Heath, can arrange access on the call: where the keys are left, how the car is reached from the street and where its locking key is stored. A drive or kerb with space alongside suits the repair.
