Lost the key to your locking wheel nut, or found one seized solid or rounded off? That one nut is enough to halt a tyre change completely, because the wheel won't come off without it. It has a habit of turning up at the worst time: a flat with no key in the car, a nut spun round by a garage that overtightened it, or one corroded so hard the key simply slips. It's a job we take on regularly across Ashford, coming to the car wherever it's parked, from a driveway in Ashford Town to a car park near Ashford Common.

We carry specialist extraction tools built to grip and back out a stubborn, rounded or keyless locking nut without damaging the alloy around it, and we fit a standard replacement nut afterwards so the same snag doesn't return. Once the nut's off, we move straight on to the real job, a puncture repair or a full replacement, and you drive away sorted. It's a genuinely separate service from an ordinary tyre change, one a lot of mobile fitters can't offer, but for us it's routine. So when a missing key or a wrecked nut is all that's keeping you off the road, that's not a job for recovery; it's a call to us. We cover Ashford around the clock for exactly these hold-ups, flights and shifts included.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you on your own drive in Ashford even with a spare and a fitter right there, since the wheel won't move without it, and that's the last thing you need before a flight. We bring specialist extraction tools to streets from Ashford Town to Ashford Common, remove the nut without harming the alloy and fit a fresh one, then change the tyre in the same visit.

Rohan came so quickly, within the hour, and was decent and professional changing 2 tyres, giving a mum of 5 real peace of mind at a reasonable price. Excellent communication too.
Used this company in 2022 and again in 2024. Fantastic. Very competitive pricing, great communication, and they replaced my tyres on my front drive. Hands down better than my local garage.
Excellent service, super fast! I had a rental car and a screw got stuck in the side of the tyre. They sorted it on the spot.
