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 St Ives, coming to the car wherever it's parked, from a bay near Market Hill to a driveway out in California.
Lost the key for your locking wheel nut, or found one seized solid or rounded off?

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 St Ives and the villages around the clock for exactly these hold-ups.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you on your own drive in St Ives 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 Market Hill to California, 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 St Ives drivers call us out to most:
A driver parked near Market Hill 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 in Houghton 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 on Needingworth 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 St Ives, including A14, A1123, A1096 and more, day and night.
Not with us. We carry specialist tools that back a locking nut out without its key, so a flat near Market Hill still gets sorted, and we fit a standard nut afterwards so it doesn't happen again.
Usually yes. Rounded and spun nuts are a common call, and our extraction tools grip where a key no longer can, so we can free the wheel on your Houghton driveway and carry on.
Our tools are made to bite the nut itself and shield the wheel, so the alloy stays intact as the seized nut works free, even on the tightest ones we come across around St Ives.
No. We remove the locking nut first, then carry straight on with the puncture repair or replacement on Needingworth Road or wherever you are, so it's all handled in one visit.
A lot of mobile fitters can't tackle a keyless or rounded nut, but for us across St Ives it's routine, so a wrecked nut is a call to us rather than a reason to ring recovery.

I used their service to fix a punctured tyre. They arrived within 45 minutes and replaced my tyre. Highly recommend for urgent tyre service.
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.
