When you need a specialist
Key lost or broken
The locking nut key is missing, snapped or was never handed over with the car.
Nut rounded off
A previous fitter or air gun has chewed the pattern so a key no longer bites.
Run flat damage
A run flat driven while deflated must be replaced — a specialist brings the right tyre and machine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a mobile fitter remove a locking wheel nut without the key?
Yes. Specialist extraction sockets grip and unwind a locking nut when the key is lost, damaged or rounded off — done at your location rather than at a garage.
Will it damage my alloy wheel?
Extraction is done with wheel-protective tooling. The locking nut itself is sacrificed and replaced with a standard or new locking nut, which the fitter can supply.
Can run flat tyres be replaced by a mobile fitter?
Yes. Run flat tyre replacement is handled roadside or on your driveway with the correct machinery; a run flat driven while deflated must be replaced rather than repaired.
Do you do mobile wheel balancing?
Fitters carry balancing equipment, so wheels are balanced as part of the fitting rather than needing a separate garage visit.
How long does removal take?
Most locking wheel nut removals take 15–30 minutes per nut depending on how badly the nut is seized or rounded.
