An MOT cannot be finished on a wheel that will not come off. Neither can a brake inspection, a tyre change or a swap onto the spare, and that is the real cost of a locking nut going wrong: not danger, but a queue of other jobs that all stop dead behind it. Your tread still has to meet the 1.6mm minimum, measured over the middle three quarters of the tyre, whether or not anybody can get the wheel away from the hub.
We clear that blockage. Lost key, key rounded off by somebody with an air gun, or a nut corroded onto the stud after a few NW11 winters: the extraction tools deal with all three without heat and without touching the face of the alloy. A replacement nut goes on afterwards so the wheel is not booby trapped for the next person.
Locking nuts exist to stop somebody stealing the wheels, and mostly they do. We extract seized, rusted and rounded nuts where the car stands in NW11 and fit standard or replacement nuts afterwards, so the security still exists but the car is not holding you hostage. Same tools in Childs Hill as in Golders Hill, same on every call. Valve in Temple Fortune, balance in Hampstead Garden Suburb, pressures before we go. A NW11 address in Hampstead Garden Suburb and one in Brent Cross are the same round.

Coverage runs across NW11 and over into Childs Hill, taking in the streets behind the centre and the quieter roads out towards Golders Hill. Because the work happens at the car, you keep the parking space, which anybody who has hunted for one near the station will appreciate.
A car in Temple Fortune had failed on a brake and the garage could not lift the wheel to look. The key was long gone. We came out the evening before, took the nut off cold, and the retest went ahead without another week being lost.
The keys came, the manuals came, the little wheel key did not. The owner near Childs Hill only found out when a tyre needed changing. Half an hour at the roadside and that corner had ordinary nuts on it instead of a locked one.
A low mileage car standing on the same drive in Hampstead Garden Suburb for years had a nut welded to its stud by nothing more than time and damp. It came away without drilling, and the thread underneath cleaned up fine.
Yes, and that is usually the sensible order. Book us first, get the nut off and a normal one on, then the garage has nothing to argue about.
The pattern inside has been rounded, almost always by an impact gun tightening it far past where it should be. Once that is gone the key has nothing to bite on, which is what the extractor is for.
No. The tool grips the nut and stays clear of the alloy face. Around Temple Fortune and the Suburb we are usually working on wheels people care about, and the job is done accordingly.
Not at all. We come to wherever it is standing, whether that is a driveway in NW11, a workplace bay or a road off the A407. Nothing about this job needs a ramp.
Then it takes longer, and we will tell you that before starting rather than halfway through. It is still a single visit and the car still stays where it is.
