A large share of missing keys came with the car. Used vehicles change hands with the key in a boot well nobody opened, or with the previous owner's spare long gone. Where the key exists but the pattern has been rounded away, that is usually the work of an air gun run at full pressure by somebody in a hurry. Either way the fix is the same. The nut is extracted with a dedicated tool that bites its outer face and turns it out.
We do this as a booked visit at your home or workplace anywhere around Denham, at a time that suits you.
Salt is what does most of them in. Cars parked out on the road, on Oxford Road included, get the worst of it. We do that where the car stands in Denham, then fit a standard or replacement nut so the next wheel-off is a normal job. The wheel comes off in Tatling End, not on a ramp in Chalfont St Giles. Nothing is towed out of Tatling End or Willowbank; the work finishes there.

Because it is not an emergency, a locking nut is worth sorting before it becomes one. A missing key stops being an inconvenience the moment you have a puncture on the A40 Oxford Road and discover the wheel cannot come off at all. Booking the extraction for a driveway in Denham Village or an office car park near the junction takes about half an hour, and everything that goes back on is torqued to the manufacturer's figure.
A car recently bought in Denham Green came with one key short. The nut on each corner was extracted, the wheels came off for the first time in years, and a fresh set with two keys went on so the next owner does not repeat the exercise.
A driver at Tatling End needed the wheels off before a test and found the key spinning uselessly in the nut. Extraction took a few minutes per corner, and everything went back on with a torque wrench rather than the gun that caused the problem.
A household at Willowbank wanted their winter set fitted and had nothing to undo the nuts with. The locking nuts came out, both sets were swapped over on the driveway, and the summer wheels were left stacked where the winter ones had been.

I used their service to fix a punctured tyre. They arrived within 45 minutes and replaced my tyre. Highly recommend for urgent tyre service.
So glad I called when I got a puncture. They kept me posted, arrived in good time and the price was very reasonable. I felt safe and looked after by their excellent service.
Within an hour Abdul was at my house and it took him 15 minutes to change two tyres. Rapid, polite and with a huge smile. An absolute asset to the company.
No. The extraction socket grips the outside of the nut and drives it out without the key at all. That is the whole point of the tool, and it works just as well on a rounded key or a snapped one.
We shield the face of the wheel and work on the nut itself, so in the great majority of cases the wheel comes through untouched. Where a nut is badly seized we will say so before starting rather than afterwards.
Many workshops will not attempt extraction, because it needs specific tooling and carries a risk to the wheel that they would rather not own. A tyre appointment being cancelled on the spot for exactly this reason is very common.
Your choice. Plain nuts to match the rest, or a fresh locking set with new keys if you want the wheels kept secured. We carry both and will tell you which suits the seat type on your wheel.
Not usually. It is planned work, so we book a time and an address that suit you, which is a far more comfortable job than doing it in the dark on the A412 after a flat.
