The easy way to sort it
The easy way to sort it
in Hitchin.
Locked out by a wheel nut with no key? When the locking key is lost, snapped or was never handed over with the car, the wheel stays put and so do you. Rescue Tyres comes to you anywhere in Hitchin, draws the keyless nut out cleanly and gets the tyre changed, all in the one visit.
A missing key stops most jobs before they start, because an ordinary socket has nothing to grip. We carry graded extraction sockets that bite straight onto the nut and wind it out under control, so your alloy and the wheel stud are left exactly as they were.
Ring us and a fitter is usually with you in about 60 minutes across Hitchin and the rest of Hertfordshire. The enquiry is free and takes a couple of minutes, we call you back to confirm the price and a time, and you pay nothing until the nut is out and the wheel is sorted.
- ✓Keyless, lost or snapped-key nuts removed without the original key
- ✓Extraction tools grip the nut, never the wheel or alloy
- ✓We come to you and are normally there in about 60 minutes
- ✓Free to enquire, you pay only when the nut is out
Anywhere in Hitchin
We bring the key you have lost.
You cannot drive in for a wheel that will not come off, so we drive out to you instead. Whether the car is sat on the drive at home or pulled up along the M25, M1 and A1(M), the extraction kit comes to the wheel rather than the other way round.
From the middle of Hitchin out towards Letchworth, Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield, the plan is the same. Tell us the make of car and roughly which nut is stuck, and the fitter turns up with the right remover already to hand.
No wait for a new key
Sorted the same day.
Ordering a replacement key can take days, and that is days with the car off the road. We skip all of that by extracting the nut you cannot open, so the tyre can be changed now rather than next week.
The fitter lifts the keyless nut at the kerbside, frees the wheel and, where you need it, fits the new tyre on the spot. No tow, no garage booking, no car left idle across Hitchin.

Hitchin FAQs
Locking Wheel Nut Removal in Hitchin, answered.
I have lost my locking wheel nut key. Can you still get the wheel off in Hitchin?
Yes. A lost key is one of the most common reasons people call us across Hitchin and Hertfordshire. Our fitters carry extraction tools that grip the locking nut directly and back it out without the key, so the wheel comes free and the tyre can be changed. You do not need to track down a replacement key first.
Will removing a seized or rounded nut damage my alloy wheel?
Not when it is done with the correct kit. The extraction sockets are made to bite the nut itself, not the wheel, and the nut is drawn out under control rather than cut or drilled. That keeps the alloy face and the wheel stud intact, so once the nut is off the wheel is left in the same condition it was before.
Can you change the tyre once the locking nut is removed?
Yes. Freeing the nut is usually the first step, and with the wheel able to come off we can go straight on to change or refit the tyre while we are with you. It is one visit rather than removing the nut and then arranging a separate job elsewhere.
How much does locking wheel nut removal cost?
We give you the price on the phone once we know the car and roughly what state the nut is in, so you have the figure before we set off. There is nothing to pay when you book, you settle up only once the nut is out and the tyre is done, and we confirm what the job needs before starting.
Do I need to bring the car to you, or do you come out?
We come to you. Because the wheel cannot be taken off until the nut is out, moving the car is often not sensible anyway. A fitter travels to wherever you are in Hitchin, from your driveway to a spot out near Letchworth, Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield, and is normally with you in about 60 minutes.

Locking Wheel Nut Removal in Hitchin
Local coverage across Hitchin.
A locking wheel nut with no key, or one that has seized or rounded off, can leave a car pinned in place until someone can extract it properly. We cover Hitchin and the wider parts of Hertfordshire for exactly this, reaching you at home, at work or wherever the car has stopped along the M25, M1 and A1(M).
Our vans carry a graduated set of extraction sockets and dedicated nut removers rather than a hammer and a hope. The right tool grips a damaged or corroded nut and works it loose steadily, so the alloy face and the wheel stud survive the removal intact. Once the nut is out, we can change or refit the tyre and, if you want, leave you a standard replacement nut in its place.
We also head beyond the middle of town to Letchworth, Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield, so a driver caught out on the edge of Hitchin is not left stranded next to a wheel that will not budge. Give us the car and a rough idea of the nut, and we will bring what the job actually calls for.
