Losing the key does not mean losing the wheel, and it certainly does not mean buying new alloys, whatever the internet told you. It means one specialised socket and about ten minutes of careful work. Drivers in Bedfont and Lower Feltham ring us mostly because something else has stalled: an MOT that cannot be finished, a worn front tyre that cannot be swapped, a spare sitting uselessly in the boot. The blockage is a single fastener. We remove it without touching the wheel face, put a normal nut on in its place, and the car goes back to being straightforward.
Salt, weather and over-tightening are what usually do it. A locking nut that went on fine three winters ago now sits seized on a car parked on The Causeway, the key will not bite, and the wheel is not coming off for anybody. Great South West Road, the M3 and the streets around Hanworth sit inside Greater London. Old tyres leave Hatton, Hanworth and Greater London with us, every time. You watch it happen in Hanworth, or at the kerb in Bedfont.

Streets around Feltham Town and North Feltham are parked bumper to bumper, so getting a car with an immovable wheel onto a ramp somewhere is the hard part. We work at the kerb outside your house instead and take card at the car.
The previous owner had never handed the key over and the buyer only found out when a tyre needed doing. Pattern read, extractor fitted, nut out, ordinary replacement on. Ten minutes on a driveway near Hanworth.
Years of winter salt off The Causeway had bonded the nut in place. Heat and shock rather than raw leverage got it moving, because pulling harder on a seized fastener is how you end up replacing the whole hub stud.
Two people had already had a go with a breaker bar and turned the splines to mush. That does not stop an extraction socket, which grips from outside rather than relying on the pattern surviving.
No. It is rarely urgent, so most people pick a slot that suits them, but we are out at all hours if the MOT is tomorrow and the wheel has to come off tonight.
It should not be, and with the right socket it is not. The tool locks onto the nut and the alloy face is masked before anything turns.
Yes, and it is common. Once one is seized the others are usually the same age and in the same state, so it makes sense to deal with the full set in one visit.
Same job. A sheared key leaves the nut in place and we take it out the same way. Bring the broken half out if you have it, as it tells us the pattern.
You get a figure on the phone and it is agreed before we start. Nothing gets loosened until you have said yes to the price.
