Lost the key to your locking wheel nut, or found one seized solid or rounded off? On its own that little nut is enough to 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 moment: a flat with no key in the glovebox, a nut spun round by a garage that overtightened it, or one corroded so hard the key just slips. It's a job we handle regularly across Chatteris, coming to the car wherever it's parked, from a spot on Market Hill to a driveway out towards Honeysome.
Lost the key to your locking wheel nut, or found one seized solid or rounded off? On its own that little nut is enough to bring a tyre change to a dead stop, because the wheel simply won't come off without it.

We carry specialist extraction tools made to grip and back out a stubborn, rounded or keyless locking nut without tearing up the alloy around it, and we fit a standard replacement nut afterwards so the same trouble doesn't crop up next time. With the nut off, we get on with the real job, a puncture repair or a full replacement, and you drive away sorted. It's a genuinely separate service from a plain tyre change, and one plenty of mobile fitters can't manage, but for us it's routine. So when a missing key or a wrecked nut is the only thing between you and a working wheel, that's not a reason to drive to a depot in March or Ely; it's a call to us. We cover the town and its lanes around the clock for exactly these hold-ups.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you on your own drive in Chatteris even when a spare and a fitter are right there, since the wheel won't come off without it, and the nearest depot is a drive away. We bring specialist extraction tools to streets from Market Hill to Honeysome, 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 Chatteris drivers call us out to most:
A driver on Market Hill 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 on Park Street 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 near Honeysome. 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 Chatteris, including A141, A142, B1050 and more, day and night.
Yes. Our tools back the nut out without its key, then we fit a replacement and change the tyre, all in one visit on Market Hill, no drive to March or Ely.
Usually yes. Rounded and spun nuts like that one near Honeysome are a common call, and our tools grip where a key no longer can.
It shouldn't. On Park Street corrosion jobs our tools bite on the nut alone and shield the rim, so the alloy stays intact as it comes free.
You do. Once the old locking nut is off around Chatteris, we fit a standard replacement so you're not caught out the next time a wheel has to come off.
Yes. We remove the locking nut first, then carry straight on with the repair or replacement, so the whole job's finished in a single visit.
Yes. We provide mobile locking wheel nut removal right across Chatteris, Cambridgeshire including Wenny, Honeysome, London Road, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

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.
5 star without a doubt! Called this morning with a complete flat tyre in N13 and within 30 minutes Abdul arrived and changed it. He also checked all 4 tyres and showed me one was completely bald and dangerous to drive.
Honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars! Last night after leaving Wembley we got a flat tyre, stranded 2 hours from home, and these guys got us back up and running. 10/10 service from start to finish, even at 1am!
