Locking wheel nut removal – the quick answer
We can remove most locking wheel nuts (around 7 in 10 types) with specialist tools; £100 per nut. Tell us the make, model and a photo of the nut when you call so we can check before we set off.
Locking wheel nuts stop thieves taking your wheels, but without the key no one can take the wheel off – so a lost or damaged key turns a simple puncture into a big problem. Our fitters carry specialist removal tools that work on most common types of locking nut. Not every type can be removed this way, which is why we ask for a photo first: if we don’t think we can remove yours, we’ll tell you before anyone sets off.
- £100 per nut removed, agreed on the phone before we set off.
- Works on around 7 in 10 locking nut types.
- At your home, workplace or a safe roadside spot, 24/7.
- We can repair or replace the tyre at the same visit.
How it works
Send the details
Call or WhatsApp with your make, model, location and a photo of the nut.
We check and agree the price
We tell you whether we expect to be able to remove it, and confirm the price – £100 per nut – before we set off.
Small deposit
To confirm the booking you pay a small deposit by SumUp link (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or American Express) or bank transfer.
Removed, then pay the balance
The fitter removes the nuts and, if you need it, repairs or replaces the tyre. The balance is paid on site once the job is done – SumUp link, bank transfer or cash.

Locking wheel nut FAQs
Can you remove a locking wheel nut without the key?
Often, yes. We can remove most locking wheel nuts – around 7 in 10 types – with specialist tools. Not every type can be removed this way, so send us the make, model and a photo of the nut first and we’ll tell you honestly before we set off.
How much is locking wheel nut removal?
£100 per nut removed. The price is agreed on the phone before the van sets off.
What should I send you?
Your vehicle’s make and model, and a clear photo of the locking nut (straight on, so we can see the pattern). WhatsApp is the easiest way to send it.
What if you can’t remove my type of nut?
Around 3 in 10 locking nut types can’t be removed with our tools. If yours looks like one of them, we’ll tell you on the phone rather than sending a fitter out.
Do I need my locking wheel nut key for a tyre change?
Yes – please make sure it’s with the car. If it’s lost, tell us when you call and we’ll check whether we can remove the nuts.
Can you fit a new tyre at the same visit?
Yes. Once the wheel is off we can repair the puncture where it’s safe, or fit a new tyre. Tell us the tyre size from the tyre wall when you call.

Why we confirm by phone
- We check the exact size from your tyre’s sidewall, so the right tyre comes out first time.
- We lock the price before we set off – no price going up on the day.
- We make sure the right tyre is on the van, so there are no delays when we arrive.
We’ll call you back within 10 minutes. No online checkout – just a quick call to get it right. Request a callback
