Lost the key for your locking wheel nut, or found one seized solid or rounded off? On its own that little nut can 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 times, a flat with no key in the glovebox, a nut spun round by a previous garage, or one corroded so tight the key just slips. We deal with exactly this across Farringdon, coming to the car wherever it's parked, from a bay on Farringdon Road to the kerb near Clerkenwell Green.

We carry specialist removal tools designed 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, a puncture repair or a full replacement, and you drive away sorted. It's a genuinely different service from a straightforward tyre change, and one a lot of mobile fitters can't handle, but it's routine for us. So if 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 EC1M around the clock for exactly these hold-ups.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you at the kerb in Farringdon even when a spare or a fitter is right there, since the wheel won't come off without it. We bring specialist extraction tools to streets from Farringdon Road to Turnmill Street, 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 Farringdon drivers call us out to most:
A driver on Farringdon Road 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 parked near Smithfield wouldn't budge. We backed it out without damaging the alloy and fitted a replacement nut.
A previous garage had rounded off a locking nut on a car on Turnmill Street. We gripped and removed it, then got the tyre changed as normal.
We also attend roadside locking wheel nut removal on the main routes through Farringdon, including Farringdon Road (A201), Charterhouse Street, Cowcross Street and more, day and night.
Yes. We carry specialist tools that back a locking nut out without the key, then fit a replacement so you can carry on. It's routine work for us on Farringdon Road.
It shouldn't. Our extraction tools grip the nut itself and shield the rim, so the alloy near Smithfield stays intact while the seized nut works free.
Usually yes. Rounded and spun nuts are a common call, and our tools bite where a key no longer can, so the wheel comes off on Turnmill Street.
We do fit one. Once the old locking nut is off near Clerkenwell Green, we put a standard replacement on so the same hold-up doesn't return next time a wheel comes off.

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.
