Lost the key for your locking wheel nut, or found one seized solid or rounded off? On its own that little nut can bring a tyre change to a dead stop, because the wheel simply won't come off without it. It catches people out at the worst times, a flat with no key in the glovebox, a nut spun round by a previous garage, or one corroded so tight the key just slips. We deal with exactly this across Angel, coming to the car wherever it's parked, from a bay on Upper Street to a residents' space off Liverpool Road.
Lost the key for your locking wheel nut, or found one seized solid or rounded off?

We carry specialist removal tools designed to grip and back out a stubborn, rounded or keyless locking nut without chewing up the alloy around it, then we fit a standard replacement nut so you're not left with the same problem next time. Once the nut's off, we get on with the actual job, whether that's a puncture repair or a full replacement, and you drive away sorted. It's a genuinely different service from a straightforward tyre change, and one a lot of mobile fitters can't handle, but it's routine for us. So if a missing key or a wrecked nut is all that stands between you and a working wheel, that's not a reason to call out recovery; it's a call to us. We cover N1 around the clock for exactly these hold-ups.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you in your own residents' bay in Angel even when a spare or a fitter is right there, since the wheel won't come off without it. We bring specialist extraction tools to streets from Upper Street to St John Street, remove the nut without harming the alloy and fit a fresh one, then change the tyre in the same visit.
The locking wheel nut removal situations Angel drivers call us out to most:
A driver on Upper Street had a flat but no locking nut key in the car. We removed the nut with our own tools and changed the tyre on the spot.
A locking nut corroded tight on a car off Liverpool Road wouldn't budge. We backed it out without damaging the alloy and fitted a replacement nut.
A previous garage had rounded off a locking nut on a car on St John Street. We gripped and removed it, then got the tyre changed as normal.
We also attend roadside locking wheel nut removal on the main routes through Angel, including Pentonville Road (A501), City Road (A501), Upper Street (A1) and more, day and night.
Not at all. Our extraction tools back a locking nut out without its key, so a flat on Upper Street with no key in the glovebox is still sorted and the tyre changed in one visit.
It shouldn't. The tools grip the nut itself and shield the rim, so a nut corroded tight off Liverpool Road comes out while the alloy stays unmarked.
No. We fit a standard replacement nut after removal on St John Street, so the wheel comes off normally next time and a lost key can't strand you twice.
Usually yes. Rounded and spun nuts are a common N1 call, and our extraction tools bite where a key no longer can, freeing the wheel so we can carry on.
Yes. We deal with the locking nut first, then move straight into the repair or replacement, so the whole job in your residents' bay is done in one visit.

Absolutely amazing service. They turned up promptly and got the wheel changed within 20 minutes. The pricing was also very reasonable and transparent.
Absolutely fantastic service! I called Fast Tyre urgently needing a tyre replaced and Abdul arrived quickly and put my mind at ease.
I clipped the kerb when parking, damaging the wall of my tyre. I contacted Fast Tyre at 21:37 and by 23:40 I had a new tyre fitted. Excellent service and both boys were friendly and efficient.
