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 will not 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 Hoxton, coming to the car wherever it is parked, from a bay near Hoxton Street market to a driveway off Kingsland Road.

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 are not left with the same problem next time. Once the nut is off, we get on with the actual job, whether that is a puncture repair or a full replacement, and you drive away sorted. It is a genuinely different service from a straightforward tyre change, and one a lot of mobile fitters cannot handle, but it is routine for us. So if a missing key or a wrecked nut is all that stands between you and a working wheel, that is not a reason to call out recovery; it is a call to us. We cover N1 around the clock for exactly these hold-ups.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you on your own drive in Hoxton even when a spare or a fitter is right there, since the wheel will not come off without it. We bring specialist extraction tools to streets from Hoxton Street market to Pitfield Street, 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 Hoxton drivers call us out to most:
A driver near Hoxton Street market 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 Pitfield Street would not 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 off Kingsland Road. 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 Hoxton, including Kingsland Road (A10), Hoxton Street, Pitfield Street and more, day and night.
Not with us. Our extraction tools back a locking nut out without its key, then we fit a replacement, so a flat near Hoxton Street market is not held up by a key left at home.
It should not. The tools grip the nut itself and protect the rim, so even a nut corroded tight on Pitfield Street comes out with the alloy left intact.
Usually yes. Rounded and spun nuts like the one off Kingsland Road are a common call, and our tools grip where a key no longer can, so the wheel finally comes free.
We do. Once the old one is off we fit a standard replacement, so the next time a wheel needs to come off around Hoxton you are not stuck with the same problem.
Yes. We remove the locking nut first, then carry straight on with the repair or replacement, so the whole job across N1 is done in a single call.

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.
