How many 24-hour garages are there for tyre fitting?

As new cars don’t have spare wheels any more, repair kits are very temporary, and space saver wheels restrict journey, how many 24-hour garages are there for tyre fitting if you have a puncture and need a new tyre? Electric cars apparently require specialist jacks and ideally garage fitting so punctures are surely going to interrupt travel far more than they did in the past. Unless of course the number and size of tyre are reduced, and all breakdown services can carry out tyre fitting.

To answer your question, 24-hour garages are very rare.
