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 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 Shoreditch, coming to the car wherever it is parked, from a bay on Great Eastern Street to a space coming off Old Street.
Lost the key for your locking wheel nut, or found one seized solid or rounded off?

We deal with exactly this across Shoreditch, coming to the car wherever it is parked, from a bay on Great Eastern Street to a space coming off Old Street.
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 to a busy street; it is a call to us. We cover EC2A around the clock for exactly these hold-ups.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you in a bay in Shoreditch even when a spare or a fitter is right there, since the wheel will not come off without it and there is nowhere easy to leave the car. We bring specialist extraction tools to streets from Great Eastern Street to Curtain Road, 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 Shoreditch drivers call us out to most:
A driver on Great Eastern Street 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 parked near Old Street would not budge. We backed it out without damaging the alloy and fitted a replacement nut.

Honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars! Last night after leaving Wembley we got a flat tyre, stranded 2 hours from home, and these guys got us back up and running. 10/10 service from start to finish, even at 1am!
Really great service to repair a flat tyre. Easy to coordinate via WhatsApp, arrived promptly, good communication and a fair price.
I used their service to fix a punctured tyre. They arrived within 45 minutes and replaced my tyre. Highly recommend for urgent tyre service.
