Lost your locking wheel nut key? We'll get it off.
No damage to the alloy, no waiting on a dealer part order. Extraction kit on every van, flat price agreed before we start.

- Need a tyre changed or puncture fixed but the locking nut is blocking it
- Bought a used car with no key handed over

Every job, no exceptions

- No damage to the alloy wheel, checked and confirmed before we leave
- Flat price agreed before we start, whatever the nut throws at us

Questions people actually ask
Not with the right kit. We use a dedicated extraction tool that grips inside the nut rather than hammering something onto the outside — that's what causes the damage you'll see from a rushed job.
Usually 30-45 minutes for one wheel at the standard £69. Badly seized or corroded nuts take longer and need more aggressive extraction — if we see that on site, we'll tell you and requote before doing anything, never after.
Yes, same service. A key that's worn or doesn't quite match still needs the same extraction approach as no key at all.
Worth considering if you're planning to keep the car — but not compulsory. Standard nuts work fine security-wise for most drivers; locking nuts mainly deter opportunistic alloy theft. We'll fit a new set on the spot if you want one, no pressure either way.
"Bought the car used with no locking wheel nut key anywhere. Tyre Rescue got it off in 40 minutes with not a mark on the alloy. Would've cost twice as much at the dealer, apparently."
"My dog watched the entire extraction without moving once. Genuinely relaxing to watch someone who knows exactly what they're doing."
