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 Richmond, coming to the car wherever it's parked, from a bay in the town centre to a driveway in Petersham.

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 Richmond around the clock for exactly these hold-ups.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you on your own drive in Richmond 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 the town centre to Petersham, 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 Richmond drivers call us out to most:
A driver parked in the town centre had a flat but no locking nut key aboard. We removed the nut with our own tools and changed the tyre where it stood.
A locking nut corroded tight on a car in Petersham 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 off Kew 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 Richmond, including A316 (Lower Mortlake Road), Kew Road, Richmond Hill and more, day and night.
Yes. We carry specialist tools that remove a locking nut without its key, then fit a replacement, so a lost key in the town centre doesn't stop the tyre change.
It shouldn't. The tools bite on the nut alone and shield the rim, so the alloy on a car parked in Petersham stays intact as the stubborn nut comes free.
We do. Once the old locking nut is off we fit a standard replacement, so the next time a wheel has to come off in Richmond you're not caught out again.
Usually yes. Rounded and spun nuts are a common call, and our extraction tools grip where the key no longer can, so a wheel off Kew Road finally comes off.
Yes. We free the locking nut first, then carry straight on with the repair or replacement, so a job near the station is done in a single call.

So glad I called when I got a puncture. They kept me posted, arrived in good time and the price was very reasonable. I felt safe and looked after by their excellent service.
Within an hour Abdul was at my house and it took him 15 minutes to change two tyres. Rapid, polite and with a huge smile. An absolute asset to the company.
Rohan came so quickly, within the hour, and was decent and professional changing 2 tyres, giving a mum of 5 real peace of mind at a reasonable price. Excellent communication too.
