Who takes a locking wheel nut off when the key has vanished? Not the tyre place on the high road, generally, and not the main dealer without the car going in for a day. It is a specialist job with a specialist socket, and it travels well, which is why we do it on driveways all over N3 rather than asking anybody to bring the car anywhere. The usual trigger is something ordinary. A tyre has worn out, the MOT is next week, or the spare needs to go on and the wheel simply will not release. One fastener is holding up the whole thing. We extract it, leave a standard nut doing the same job, and hand the wheel back as an ordinary wheel again.
Four wheels, four locking nuts, and they do not always fail together. We come to where the car is, in Finchley Central or wherever it is standing, deal with whichever nuts are seized or rounded, and fit standard or replacement nuts across the set afterwards. Tight in Church End, easy in Woodside Park: neither stops the job. Level in Church End, sloping in Woodside Park: we set the car straight first.

There is nowhere convenient to leave a car around Finchley Central for a day, and the parking near Ballards Lane is not designed for it. Doing the nut on your own driveway or in a bay outside the house avoids the whole problem, and payment is by card at the car.
Key lost somewhere in a house move. The car sat on the drive while we wound the nut out with an extractor and put an ordinary one back. No garage booking, no lift home, no second trip.
He had been quoted a full day at a main dealer for one seized nut. We did it at the kerb in Church End in the time it takes to make a coffee, and the alloy came through unmarked.
The tester could not get a wheel off, so the test could not be finished. We cleared the nut on the Thursday evening and the car went straight back in the following morning.
That is the entire service. The extraction socket does not need the pattern, it cuts into the outside of the nut and reverses it out.
Not when it is done with the right tool. We mask the wheel face and the socket only ever touches the nut, which is the bit being sacrificed anyway.
Yes, a standard one goes on so the wheel behaves normally next time. If you would rather have a complete new locking set instead, say so and we bring one.
Honestly, yes. Finding out on a wet night on the A406 that your spare cannot go on is a much worse discovery than a planned half hour on the drive.
Most single nuts are out inside fifteen minutes. Badly corroded ones take a little longer because they need patience rather than force.
