Lost the key to your locking wheel nut, or found one seized tight or rounded off? That single nut is enough to halt a tyre change completely, because the wheel won't come away without it. It tends to surface at the worst moment: a flat with no key in the glovebox, a nut spun round by a garage that fitted it too tight, or one corroded so hard the key simply slips. It's a job we handle regularly across Crouch End, coming to the car wherever it's parked, from a bay near the Clock Tower to a driveway off Middle Lane.

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 different 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 job for recovery; it's a call to us. We cover N8 around the clock for exactly these hold-ups.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you on your own drive in Crouch End even with a spare and a fitter to hand, since the wheel won't budge without it. We bring specialist extraction tools to streets from the Clock Tower to Stroud Green, remove the nut without harming the alloy and fit a fresh one, then change the tyre in the same visit.

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!
