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 on the drive with no key in the glovebox, a nut spun round by a garage that overtightened it, or one corroded so hard the key just slips. We deal with exactly this across Hemel Hempstead, coming to the car wherever it's parked, from a bay in the Marlowes to a driveway in Boxmoor.

We carry specialist extraction tools built 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 facing the same problem next time. Once the nut's off, we get on with the actual job, whether that's 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 for us it's routine. 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 out recovery; it's a call to us. We cover HP1, HP2 and HP3 around the clock for exactly these hold-ups.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you on your own drive in Hemel Hempstead even with a spare and a fitter right there, since the wheel won't come off without it. We bring specialist extraction tools to streets from the Marlowes to Adeyfield, 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 Hemel Hempstead drivers call us out to most:
A driver parked in the Marlowes 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 in Boxmoor wouldn't budge. We backed it out without marking the alloy and fitted a replacement nut.

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.
Honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars! Last night after leaving Wembley we got a flat tyre, stranded 2 hours from home, and these guys got us back up and running. 10/10 service from start to finish, even at 1am!
