Lost the key to 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 garage that overtightened it, or one corroded so hard the key just slips. It's a job we handle regularly across Tooting, coming to the car wherever it's parked, from a bay near Tooting Broadway to a driveway off Garratt Lane.
Lost the key to your locking wheel nut, or found one seized solid or rounded off?

We carry specialist extraction tools made 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 crop up next time. With the nut 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 separate service from a straightforward tyre change, and one a lot of mobile fitters can't handle, but for us it's routine. So when a missing key or a wrecked nut is all that stands between you and a working wheel, that's not a reason to call recovery; it's a call to us. We cover SW17 around the clock for exactly these hold-ups.
A seized or keyless locking wheel nut can strand you on your own drive in Tooting even when a spare and a fitter are right there, since the wheel won't come off without it. We bring specialist extraction tools to streets from Tooting Broadway to Garratt Lane, remove the nut without harming the alloy and fit a fresh one, then change the tyre in the same visit.

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.
