Lost key or damaged fastener

Locked out of a tyre change?

A missing or broken locking wheel nut key can stop a tyre change before it starts. The Fuel Drain Scotland mobile team provides removal assistance for locking nuts and bolts, subject to assessment.

Stop if the key is slipping

Repeatedly forcing the wrong or damaged key can make removal harder. Tell us whether the key is lost, broken or slipping and what has already been attempted.

Check the usual storage places

If it is safe, look in the glovebox, vehicle toolkit, boot floor and spare-wheel well. Do not delay an urgent safety response to search for a key.

Removal depends on the fastener

The wheel design, condition of the lock and any previous damage affect the method. We assess these details rather than promising every locking nut will come out the same way.

Sort the tyre problem at the same time

If you discovered the lost key because of a flat, share the tyre size and registration as well. We can consider puncture repair or a replacement tyre together with removal.

Your questions, answered

A few things you might be wondering.

We aim to reach you in 30–60 minutes, subject to traffic, location and availability. Call for the current estimate and tyre options.

Can you remove a locking wheel nut without its key?

Many locking nuts and bolts can be assessed for mobile removal. The exact method depends on the wheel, locking design and condition. Call with the vehicle details.

Can you fit a replacement tyre after removal?

Yes, subject to successful removal, suitable tyre availability and safe access. Share the tyre size when booking.

What details do you need when I call?

Your location, vehicle registration and tyre size if safe to read. Mention what happened, whether you have a spare and whether the locking wheel nut key is available.

Can you give me a fixed arrival time?

We aim to reach customers in 30–60 minutes, subject to traffic, location and availability. More distant and rural call-outs can take longer. This is an aim, not a guaranteed time; we confirm the current estimate when you call.

Can you fit any tyre size immediately?

Availability varies. Tell us the full tyre size and registration so we can check appropriate stock and explain any sourcing time.
