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 on the drive 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. We deal with exactly this across Cricklewood, coming to the car wherever it's parked, from a bay on the Broadway to a driveway in Mapesbury.
Lost the key to your locking wheel nut, or found one seized solid or rounded off?

We carry specialist extraction tools built 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 separate service from a straightforward tyre change, and one a lot of mobile fitters can't handle, but for us it's routine. So when a missing key or a wrecked nut is all that stands between you and a working wheel, that's not a reason to call recovery; it's a call to us. We cover NW2 around the clock for exactly these hold-ups.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you on your own drive in Cricklewood even with a spare and a fitter to hand, since the wheel won't come off without it. We bring specialist extraction tools to streets from the Broadway to Dollis Hill, 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 Cricklewood drivers call us out to most:
A driver on Cricklewood Broadway 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 Walm Lane wouldn't budge. We backed it out without marking the alloy and fitted a replacement nut.
A previous garage had rounded off a locking nut on a car in Dollis Hill. We gripped and removed it, then changed the tyre as normal.
We also attend roadside locking wheel nut removal on the main routes through Cricklewood, including A5 Cricklewood Broadway, North Circular (A406), A407 Cricklewood Lane and more, day and night.
Yes. We carry specialist tools that back a locking nut out without its key, then fit a replacement, so a flat on the Broadway gets sorted. It's routine work for us in Cricklewood.
It shouldn't. The tools grip the nut itself and shield the rim, so the alloy on your car in Mapesbury stays intact while the stubborn nut comes free.
Usually yes. Rounded and spun nuts are a common call, and our extraction tools grip where a key no longer can, so even a wrecked nut on Walm Lane comes off.
No. We remove the locking nut first, then carry straight on with the repair or replacement in Dollis Hill or wherever you are, so the whole job's done in one visit.

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.
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.
