Locking Wheel Nut Removal

Rallysport Automotive provide a locking wheel nut removal service at our workshop in Colchester.

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 would-be thief 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 Rallysport Automotive 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 Rallysport Automotive 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 Rallysport Automotive and we’ll be able to safely remove the wheel nut for you.

As an independent garage thriving on recommendations, at Rallysport Automotive, we are pleased to maintain our high standard of work with up-to-date training from companies like IMI, and to use quality, dependable products, such as those from Black Circles. And, to help our customers spread the cost of unexpected repair bills, we’re pleased to partner with Payment Assist. Ask our team to find out more.
