What if I’ve lost my locking wheel nut key?

No problem. We specialise in removing locking wheel nuts without the key. Most can be removed quickly without damaging the alloy wheel. 

Will removing the locking wheel nut damage my wheels? 

In most cases, no. We use specialist tools and techniques designed to remove locking wheel nuts safely without damaging your alloy wheels. 

How long does it take? 

Most jobs take between 10–30 minutes depending on the type of locking wheel nut and condition. More difficult cases can take longer. 

Do you offer a mobile service? 

Yes, we are fully mobile and can come to your home, workplace, or roadside in Burton upon Trent and surrounding areas. 

How much does it cost? 

Prices depend on the vehicle and condition of the locking wheel nuts. Please call or message for a quick quote. 

My locking wheel nut is damaged or rounded. Can you still remove it? 

Damage from normal wear or a worn key is very common and rarely a problem. However, if there have been previous failed attempts to remove it from chiseling or hammering sockets on, it can make the job a bit more complex.

The easiest thing to do is send a couple of clear photos of the damaged nut over to us via text or WhatsApp, and we’ll give you a quick quote.

I have a normal wheel bolt that is rounded off. Can you help? 

Yes! Rounded wheel bolts are fairly common—especially on BMWs and MINIs due to over-tightened alloy wheel bolts. We have specialist tools designed to safely remove rounded, swollen, or seized standard bolts without damaging your alloy wheels. 

Do I need replacement wheel bolts/nuts ready before you arrive? 

We stock most standard replacement nuts and bolts. However, if your vehicle uses wheel spacers or aftermarket/unusual specification bolts, please let us know in advance so we can advise you. 

What areas do you cover for mobile removal? 

We operate a fully mobile service based in Burton upon Trent, covering approximately a 25-mile radius including Derby, Swadlincote, Lichfield, Tamworth, and surrounding local areas (roughly up to a 1-hour drive from Burton upon Trent). 

What methods do you use to remove the locking wheel nut? 

We use specialist, non-destructive extraction tools designed specifically for locking wheel nuts. We do not use aggressive methods like welding or drilling into your alloys unless extreme prior damage leaves no other option. Every reasonable precaution is taken to protect your wheels. 

How do I book you, and what is your turnaround time? 

The quickest way to book is to give us a CALL. We work around your schedule whenever possible and aim to attend and complete most jobs the same day you get in touch.
