Locking Wheel Nut Removal

Williams Garage provides a locking wheel nut removal service at their workshop in Otterbourne, Winchester.

Can you change a tyre without a locking wheel nut?

A locking wheel nut is a must if you want to get your tyres replaced. This is because each wheel has a unique locking wheel nut installed. This basically functions as an anti-theft system, preventing a burglar from taking off your wheels whenever they like and indeed, since locking wheel nuts were introduced, wheel theft has substantially reduced which is great on the one hand, but not if you’ve lost your wheel nut and need to have a tyre changed. If you find yourself in this situation, get in touch with our team at Williams Garage and we’ll be happy to help you out.

Where can I find my locking wheel nut key?

Depending on the model of your vehicle, your locking wheel nut key will either be:

  • in the glove compartment
  • in a separate compartment under the spare tyre
  • in the boot – check in all the nooks and crannies

If you still can’t find it, get in touch with Williams Garage and if we can’t find the key for you, we’ll be able to remove the nut here at the garage.

What happens if I lose my locking wheel nut key?

You can buy a new key from the manufacturer or from a dealership, but this can be an expensive option and you’ll need the key’s unique code so that they can replace it with the exact one that fits your vehicle. Probably the easiest and least costly option is to give us a call at Williams Garage and we’ll be able to safely remove the wheel nut for you.
