Six in the evening at Enfield Town station, dark, and the car that has stood in the same bay since half past seven has a flat rear. The spare is in the boot. So is the jack. The single item that would let you use either of them is a locking nut adaptor nobody can lay hands on. We take that call often enough to have an opinion about it, which is that the same nut could have been sorted in ten unhurried minutes on a driveway in Bush Hill Park a month earlier. Either way, we come out with extractors that grip the body of the nut rather than the pattern hidden inside it, wind it off the stud without marking the wheel, and leave a nut on that actually works.
You do not think about the locking nut until the moment it stops you. We carry specialist removal kits for exactly that and extract the nut where the car is standing, on a driveway in Enfield Highway or on Southbury Road, with the alloy protected while we work. Old tyres leave Ponders End, Bush Hill Park and EN1 with us, every time. You watch it happen in Forty Hill, or at the kerb in Ponders End.

A lot of local cars spend the working day parked at the station or on a street some way from home, which means a wheel problem surfaces at the least convenient hour and the furthest point from your tools. A nut dealt with in advance on the drive removes that possibility entirely.
A driver had arranged a full set for a commuter car and then discovered nothing would come off the hubs. The adaptor had disappeared long before they bought the car. We extracted the locking nuts first, and the tyres went on afterwards without any of the usual argument.
Somebody had hammered an ill-fitting socket over a nut and turned it hard enough to flatten the pattern completely. There was nothing left inside for a key to catch. Our extractor took hold of the outside of it and wound it clear of the stud in one go.
A set of alloys moved from one vehicle to another, with the adaptor left behind in the car that had gone. Four nuts, four extractions, done on the drive in an afternoon, and a matching set of new locking nuts fitted so the wheels stayed secure.
Yes, as standard, in several sizes. This is a regular job rather than a special request, and it does not need booking days ahead.
We can. Wherever the vehicle has ended up is fine, so long as there is space to work beside the wheel.
No. We carry our own lighting and work through the night as often as not, so an evening after work is perfectly practical.
Then all four come out in the same visit. It takes longer than one, but nothing like four times as long, because everything is already set up.
Only if you want to. Plenty of people ask for plain nuts to end the problem permanently, and plenty ask for a fresh locking set with keys that fit.
