Lost the key for your locking wheel nut, or found one seized solid or rounded off? On its own that one nut is enough to bring a tyre change to a dead stop, because the wheel simply won't come off without it. It surfaces at the worst moment: a flat in the office car park 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. It's a job we handle regularly around Old Street, coming to the car wherever it's parked, from a space off City Road to an EC1V side street near the roundabout.

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 the same trouble doesn't return next time. With the nut off, we get straight on with the real job, a puncture repair or a full replacement, and you drive away sorted. It's a genuinely separate service from a plain tyre change, one a lot of mobile fitters can't manage, but for us it's routine. So when a missing key or a wrecked nut is all that's keeping you off the road, that's not a job for recovery; it's a call to us. We cover EC1V around the clock for exactly these hold-ups, and you settle by card once it's done.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you in an office car park near Old Street even with a spare and a fitter to hand, since the wheel won't budge without it. We bring specialist extraction tools to streets from City Road to the EC1V side lanes, remove the nut without harming the alloy and fit a fresh one, then change the tyre in the same visit.

Absolutely amazing service. They turned up promptly and got the wheel changed within 20 minutes. The pricing was also very reasonable and transparent.
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.
