Market days turn Deptford High Street into somewhere you cannot leave a car, let alone work on one, while the side streets running off it are permit-only and full by early evening. No forecourt, no spare corner, no quiet half hour going anywhere.
All of which becomes a problem when the only thing in your way is one locking nut. The car is otherwise perfectly healthy. It simply cannot surrender a wheel, so the worn tyre stays worn, the spare stays under the boot floor and the test stays unbooked. Extraction tools deal with it where the car is standing now, and nothing has to be moved anywhere for that to happen. The nut comes away with the alloy untouched, an ordinary one takes its place, and the whole subject stops being something you have to think about.
Over-tightening is the other half of the problem, and it is nearly always somebody else's fault. We bring extraction kits designed for exactly that failure to New Cross or wherever you have stopped, get the nut out with the alloy protected, and carry on with the tyre work you actually rang about. Old tyres leave Deptford, New Cross and SE8 with us, every time. You watch it happen in Greenwich, or at the kerb in Evelyn.

This is one of the few parts of south-east London where genuinely nobody has a driveway, and the roads between the High Street and Evelyn Street are permit bays end to end. A garage visit means finding somewhere to leave the car and a way of getting back, which is exactly the sort of afternoon a stuck nut does not deserve.
When the street is given over to stalls there is nothing you can do with a car except leave it. That suits this job, because the work happens around a stationary vehicle rather than requiring it to go anywhere. We come to whichever side street it ended up on.
It is a common handover mistake and it costs nothing until the day a wheel has to come off. By then the previous owner is long gone and the code is unobtainable. The nut still comes off, and the replacement is a standard one that needs no code at all.
Cars kept near the water corrode faster, and the nut recess is where salt-laden damp collects and sits. What was hand tight from the factory ends up effectively welded. Heat and the right extractor part them without wrecking the stud underneath.
It can usually wait, and that is worth knowing before anyone panics. It only becomes urgent when a tyre has already failed, because then the car is stuck. If you have discovered the key is missing while everything is fine, deal with it at your leisure.
No. We fit around whatever space exists, and on these streets that is often none at all. Working from the pavement beside your car is normal here.
The extractor grips the nut, not the wheel, and a protective collar goes between the two. Wheels get damaged when somebody without the right tool starts improvising, which is usually the reason we were called.
Yes, though the car has to be somewhere reachable. If it is boxed in behind stalls, an early morning or an evening visit is simpler for both of us.
Half an hour for most, and you do not have to stand and watch it. Hand over the keys, go back inside, and it will be done when you next look.
