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 previous garage, or one corroded so tight the key just slips. We deal with exactly this across Highbury, coming to the car wherever it's parked, from a bay near Highbury Corner to a driveway off Aberdeen Park.

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, 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 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 out recovery; it's a call to us. We cover N5 around the clock for exactly these hold-ups.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you on your own drive in Highbury 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 Highbury Corner to Aberdeen Park, 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 Highbury drivers call us out to most:
A driver parked near Highbury Corner 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 on Blackstock Road 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 in Canonbury. 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 Highbury, including Highbury Corner, Holloway Road A1, Blackstock Road and more, day and night.
Yes. We carry extraction tools that back a locking nut out without its key, then fit a replacement. It's routine work, and we come to wherever you're stuck near Highbury Corner.
Usually. Rounded and spun nuts, like the one we shifted for a driver in Canonbury, are a common call, and our tools bite where a key no longer can so the wheel comes free.
It shouldn't. The tools grip the nut itself and shield the rim, so on Blackstock Road or anywhere in N5 the alloy comes through intact while the stubborn nut works loose.
Yes. On a drive off Aberdeen Park we deal with the locking nut first, then carry straight on with the puncture repair or replacement, so it's all done in the one visit.
You get a fresh one. We fit a standard replacement nut once the old locking nut is off, so the next time a wheel needs to come off across Highbury there's no repeat hold-up.

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.
