Pulled into Brent Cross Shopping Centre with a puncture and found no locking wheel nut key? Our base is a few streets away. The lock comes off without damage and the tyre gets sorted as well.
A missing locking nut key can turn a simple puncture into a stranded car. Keys get left at garages, go unnoticed when a car is bought second-hand, or crack when a stubborn lock is forced. Drivers find out after leaving the North Circular at Brent Cross or Friern Barnet with a damaged tyre, when the wheel simply will not come off. A rounded lock, chewed by the wrong socket, can be just as immovable.
Give us the car's make and model and describe the problem, lost key or damaged lock. The fitter uses removal tools suited to the lock design and takes care that the alloy stays unmarked. Standard wheel nuts or bolts replace the lock, or new locks if you would rather, and the tyre that started it all gets mended or renewed before we pack up. The price for everything is confirmed on the call.
Other services from the same Brent Cross team: emergency tyre repair on the A406 North Circular and burst tyre replacement on the A406 North Circular.
Brent Cross Shopping Centre car park, Friern Bridge retail park off the A1000 and Chiswick Business Park with permission all give level ground. Removal never happens on the A406, its slip roads or a red route kerb; if the car cannot move, call 999.

No locking key and a tyre to swap? Finchley and Mill Hill drivers can meet us at home off Ballards Lane, at Mill Hill Industrial Estate, or near Mill Hill East station. Specialist tools take the locked nut off, and the fitting continues straight afterwards, so you are not left waiting for a second trip.
Search thoroughly before deciding the key is gone: door bins, under the boot floor, beneath the spare wheel and in the service book wallet, where a code card may also be tucked. Have the logbook or lease paperwork ready in case the fitter asks for proof of ownership. The alloy stays protected throughout, and for a car that lives on the street, replacement locks may be sensible. Wait at Brent Park or in a Cricklewood side street.
