A locking wheel nut is only useful while you have the key, and the key is the first thing to go missing.
Removal is planned work rather than a callout. You book a time, we come to the house or the workplace, and the nuts come off using extraction sockets designed to bite into the outside of the head and wind it out. Nothing is drilled, nothing is cut off the wheel, and the alloy is protected while the work is done.
Most people replace the locking set with standard nuts afterwards so the problem cannot repeat itself.
The nut in the glovebox is not always the right nut. We can come out in Addlestone, remove the nut properly with extraction tools rather than optimism, and fit a standard or replacement set so the whole thing stops being a guessing game. The wheel comes off in Woburn Park, not on a ramp in West Byfleet. Nothing is towed out of St Peter's or Row Town; the work finishes there.

Nearly every locking nut job in Addlestone starts as something else: an MOT booking, a set of tyres, a brake job, or a puncture that suddenly cannot be reached. Sorting the nut in advance, on the drive, at a time you picked, is considerably better than finding out the key has gone while the car sits half stripped on the A318 with the light going.
A used car in St Peter's came with one ignition key and no wheel nut adapter, which the buyer discovered only when a pressure light appeared. All four came off, matching standard nuts went on, and the car now carries the same tools as everything else.
The key had sheared off inside the socket on a car at Ongar Hill, leaving a stub standing proud of the nut. That had to come out before anything could grip the nut underneath, which is fiddly rather than difficult once you have the tooling.
Road salt and standing water had effectively welded a nut into the wheel on a car kept outside near the Moor. Penetrating oil, heat and steady pressure got it out in the end. Impact wrenches and impatience are how studs get snapped.

Was stuck on the M40. They came very quick and gave me a very good price, arriving within 25 minutes. Very glad I came across this company.
Great service, fast and available. My tyre is not one an ordinary garage has in stock, but they just went to get the tyre and replaced it on a Sunday. Recommend.
Came and sorted a replacement tire within half an hour or so. Fast and efficient service.
Sometimes, if you can read the code number stamped on the old key or the manufacturer holds a record against your registration. Often you cannot, because the code lives on the key that went missing. Removal is the reliable route out of it.
No. The nut is removed with the wheel still on the hub, which is one reason this can be done on your drive. Once it is out, the wheel comes off normally and whatever you needed doing, tyres or brakes, can go ahead.
Tell us when you book. A nut rounded off by a socket, drilled at or chiselled needs a different approach and usually takes longer, but it is still very often recoverable without touching the wheel itself.
Your call. Standard nuts remove the risk of a repeat entirely; a new locking set gives some deterrent against alloy theft and comes with a spare key. We will fit either, and we would suggest keeping the key in the house rather than the boot.
It does not usually need to be. This is booked work and daytime suits most people, though if the only time your car stands still is an evening we can work to that. It is the one job we do where nobody is waiting at a roadside.
