Frequently Asked Questions

Will it take a long time for removal?

The time taken to remove the locking wheel nuts is determined by several factors, such as how over-tightened the nut has been and how damaged it is.

What area will your mobile service cover?

The mobile service will cover throughout central Scotland. If for some reason your locking wheel nut cannot be removed on location, we may need to arrange for your vehicle to visit our workshop. Once at our workshop we can guarantee 100% that we can successfully remove your locking wheel nuts.

I've seen some DIY techniques online - aren't these as good?

The techniques that tend to be found online are designed for older-style wheel nuts and, due to the design of modern wheel nuts and wheels, they often will not work and in fact cause more damage to your wheels/wheel nuts and still not remove them.

I own a Jaguar/Range Rover - I've heard most wheel nut removal services cannot remove this type of locking nut?

That's true - most services don't posess the specialised tools to remove these locking wheel nuts. However, we do - and we can remove these painlessly and efficiently due to both our vast experience and our specialised tools.

I have tried to remove my wheel nut and I've damaged it/the alloys quite badly - can you still remove it for me?

While we can't repair the damage to your alloys, we can still remove the wheel nut. Depending on the condition of the nut (i.e. broken, socket hammered on top, etc) it may cost slightly more than a regular removal due to the increase in time required to remove.

I don't need my wheel nut removed at present, but could you provide me with some advice?

Of course; we endeavour to answer all questions from our customers free of charge

Other garages have told me that there will always be damage to the wheels - is this true?

We use the latest specialised tools to remove your locking wheel nuts and not just a hammer and socket or even chisel like many others; our aim is to assure the job is completed successfully and professionally!

Our methods used:

• Invasive - Where a specialised tool is used to cut into the head of the locking wheel nut and force it off by means of impact/shock.
• Non-Invasive - Where a specialised tool is used to mould to the shape of locking wheel nut and replicate the missing/damaged locking wheel nut key.
• Heat induction - Where a specialised tool is used to penetrate flameless heat to the locking wheel nut,this method is used for example-in cases when someone else has failed the removal or when methods 1 & 2 are not achievable.

In all above circumstances there is a 100% guarantee of successful removal with NO damage to any of your alloy wheels.
