Here is what has changed in the last fifteen years or so: most new cars stopped coming with a spare wheel. Look under the boot floor and there is a foam tray with a compressor and a bottle of sealant in it, or nothing at all. That matters enormously for anyone with a locking nut they cannot undo, because the old fallback of putting the spare on has quietly disappeared. A car with a stuck nut and no spare has no self rescue left in it whatsoever.
Which is why this is worth sorting on a quiet Tuesday rather than discovering it on the A404 Pinner Road. The extraction socket bites the outside of the nut and winds it out without touching the wheel face, and a plain nut goes back on to the manufacturer's torque figure. The car does not need to move or even be unlocked, so it happens on a drive in Pinner Green or in a car park at Rayners Lane while you are doing something else entirely.
A used car with no locking key is more common than the trade admits. If it has already gone, we can come out to Pinner Village or wherever the car is parked, extract the nuts with the right tools and fit a standard or replacement set so the car is straightforward from then on. The wheel comes off in Eastcote, not on a ramp in Harrow. Nothing is towed out of North Harrow or Hatch End; the work finishes there.

The lanes around HA5 are narrow and busy in equal measure, and none of them is a good place to find out that a wheel cannot come off and there is nothing under the boot floor to put on instead. Getting a stuck nut dealt with while the car is parked at home costs an hour on a quiet day and saves a very bad one later.
A driver near North Harrow lifted the boot floor expecting a wheel and found a foam tray. With a seized nut as well, there was nothing to be done at the roadside.
An owner in Hatch End tried the key at home out of curiosity, found it turning uselessly, and had it dealt with the same week rather than on a wet night.
A tyre appointment in Pinner Village got as far as the first wheel. The nut was cleared afterwards and the tyres went on without a second booking.
Lift the boot floor. A steel or alloy wheel means yes, a foam tray with a compressor and a bottle means no, and plenty of cars in HA5 fall into the second group.
It takes two minutes and it saves the worst version of this. Slacken one nut a quarter turn on each wheel and do it back up. If a key is going to fail, better it fails on the drive.
Usually not, which is the good news. It is what blocks the MOT, the tyre change or the spare, so you can book it for a time that suits.
No. The work is all outside the car, so a driveway or a station car park while you are elsewhere is fine.
Some are, some are not, and several are booked a fortnight out. This travels to the car instead, which is usually the quicker route.
