Getting the ruined nut off is the part people ring about. The part nobody has thought about is what goes back on afterwards, and it is a genuine choice with two defensible answers. Once an extraction socket has bitten into a locking nut, that nut is scrap and so, usually, is whatever is left of the key. Neither is going back on the car.
Option one is a plain nut on every wheel, matched to the seat the wheel needs, all torqued to the manufacturer's figure. Option two is a fresh locking set, one per corner with a new key. Plain nuts mean nothing to lose and nothing to seize onto a key in three years. A locking set means an opportunist walks past your alloys and finds an easier car. We carry both, and we will tell you which we would put on our own, but the decision is yours and neither answer is wrong.
You do not think about the locking nut until the moment it stops you. We carry specialist removal kits for exactly that and extract the nut where the car is standing, on a driveway in Central Milton Keynes or on the A509, with the alloy protected while we work. Give us Bletchley, Wolverton or a spot on the A5 and the van routes it. You watch it happen in Stony Stratford, or at the kerb in Newport Pagnell. Same tools in Westcroft as in Bletchley, same on every call.

Wolverton and the older Milton Keynes estates have plenty of cars on their second or third owner, and a locking key rarely survives that many handovers. We would rather deal with it at your kerb than have you find out on a grid road with a flat tyre and a socket that will not grip. Both answers are stocked, so it can be settled while we are with you.
A driver at Bletchley had already lost one key and had no wish to repeat the evening. We removed the locking nut, fitted plain nuts across all four wheels so every corner takes the same socket, and torqued the lot. Nothing on that car now depends on a key living in a glovebox.
Alloys parked on an open estate car park overnight are worth stealing. This owner wanted the deterrent back, so a new locking set went on, the code card was photographed and the photograph went straight to their phone. Losing that card is how most of these stories begin.
Nuts are not all the same shape underneath. A tapered seat, a radius seat and a flat seat with a washer all look much alike in a dark car park, and only one of them clamps your wheel correctly. We match the seat before anything is wound down.
For most drivers, plain nuts. The locking nut answers a problem that alloy theft has largely moved past, and it creates one that surfaces years later on a wet night when the key will not bite.
Read your policy wording rather than take our word for it, since some policies mention security devices fitted as standard. It is worth a look before we decide what goes back on the car.
We can, and occasionally that is right. It does leave you with three locking nuts and a key, one plain nut, and a set that no longer matches. Most people would rather settle it properly while the wheels are off.
We check every one. A nut that has been fought with can leave a stud stretched or its thread picked up, and a stud in that condition gets replaced rather than torqued and hoped for.
That is the whole point of coming out. The nut comes off, the wheel comes off, and the puncture or the replacement carries on without a second appointment. Nobody wants two callouts for one wheel.
