Mobile Emergency Locking Wheel Nut Removal

Lost your key? Broken the nut? We can remove it safely without damaging your wheels.

Lost Your Locking Wheel Nut Key? Don't Panic.

There are few things more frustrating for a driver than getting a flat tyre, getting the jack out, and realizing you cannot remove the wheel because the locking wheel nut key is missing.

Perhaps you bought the car and the previous owner forgot to pass it on. Maybe it was left at a tyre depot during your last service. Or perhaps the key itself has sheared off due to the nuts being overtightened.

Whatever the reason, you are now stuck.

At Mobile Tyre Service UK, we specialize in the professional removal of locking wheel nuts. We treat this as an emergency service. We come to your location—whether you are stranded on the roadside in Woking, at home in Weybridge, or in a car park in Epsom—and remove the problematic nuts so you can get your wheel off and your car back on the road.

Professional Removal—No Welding, No Damage.

A common fear among car owners is that removing a locking wheel nut without the key requires “brute force” that will ruin expensive alloy wheels

This is not how we operate.

We use industry-leading, specialist extraction tools (such as Dynomec and master key sets) designed specifically for this job. Our methods are:

Non-Invasive Removal: We carry a wide range of master sockets and mouldable tools that can often undo the nut by gripping the unique pattern, mimicking the original key.
Invasive Removal: If the nut is rounded, rusted, or has a spinning collar (common on Volvo, Ford, and PSA Group cars), we use specialist impact tools that cut into the head of the locking nut to create a new grip, allowing us to wind it off safely.

Our Guarantee:

Zero Damage to Alloys: Our tools are designed to work on the nut only, ensuring your rims remain scratch-free.
High Success Rate: We have successfully removed locking nuts from virtually every make and model, including BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Ford, Volkswagen, and Land Rover.

When Do You Need This Service?

We are called out daily across Surrey and the M25 South to deal with these common scenarios:

The “Lost Key” Scenario: You simply cannot find the security key in your glovebox or boot.
The “Overtightened” Scenario: A previous garage used an air gun (impact wrench) to tighten the nuts far too much, and now the key won’t budge them without snapping.
The “Rounded” Scenario: Someone has tried to force the nut off with the wrong tool, stripping the pattern and making it impossible for the key to grip.
The “Broken Key” Scenario: You applied pressure to the key, and the metal teeth sheared off inside the nut.

Warning: Do Not Try This Yourself

If you have lost your key, please do not try to hammer a standard socket onto the locking nut or use a chisel.

You risk destroying the locking nut completely, making it much harder for us to remove.
You risk slipping and gouging your alloy wheels.
You risk damaging your wheel hub or studs.

Stop, put the tools down, and call the experts at 07351 884 014.

We Remove Locking Nuts From All Vehicles

Locking wheel nuts come in hundreds of different designs. Some have flower patterns, some have jagged edges, and some have smooth spinning collars designed to thwart thieves.

Our mobile technicians are trained to handle:

Standard Cars: (Fiestas, Golfs, Astras, etc.)
Prestige Vehicles: (Jaguar, Porsche, Range Rover – which often have very specific, high-security nuts).
Vans & Commercials: (Transits, Vivaros, Sprinters).
4x4s and SUVs.

What Happens After We Remove It?

Once we have successfully removed the locking wheel nuts, we don’t just leave you with a loose wheel.

Tyre Fitting: If you called us because of a puncture, we will then proceed to change your tyre or repair the puncture as normal.
Standard Nut Replacement: We can often fit standard wheel nuts (if you have spares) or advise you on where to get a replacement set of locking nuts.
Torque Check: We ensure the remaining nuts on your wheels are tightened to the correct manufacturer specifications so they don’t seize up in the future.
