About the Service
What is Locking Wheel Nut Key Recovery?
Losing your locking wheel nut key is more common than you'd think — it often lives loose in the glovebox and quietly vanishes. When you go to change a wheel or a tyre and can't find the key, you have two choices: order a replacement (if you have the key code) or have the locking nuts extracted and replaced.
Who needs it?
Sam's Mobile Tyres does both. If you can find the master key code (on the original key or in your service pack), we can order a factory replacement in days. If you've lost the code as well, our mobile extraction service removes the locking nuts alloy-safe and fits a fresh set — same visit.
When should you call?
The moment you notice a problem. Our dispatch line is live-answered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — there's no automated menu, no queue, and no premium for evenings, weekends or bank holidays. Call +44 7949 891689 or WhatsApp, describe what you're seeing, and we'll confirm a total price and dispatch time before a van moves.

Roadside Rescue · 24/7
Roadside Tyre Assistance in London
When you're stopped on a hard shoulder, a lay-by or the pavement at the end of a residential street, roadside tyre assistance is not the same as booking a fitting slot. It's an emergency service that has to arrive fast, work safely in live traffic, and have the correct tyre on the van when it gets there. That is what we specialise in.

Q · 01How do I find my locking wheel nut key code?+
Q · 01
How do I find my locking wheel nut key code?
Usually stamped on the plastic head of the original key, or in your car's service pack (McGard cards). Main dealers can retrieve it from the VIN in most cases.
Q · 02How long for a replacement key?+
Q · 02
How long for a replacement key?
3–5 working days from confirmed code. Same-day extraction is faster if you can't wait.
Q · 03Can you extract without any key at all?+
Q · 03
Can you extract without any key at all?
Yes — our multi-brand extraction kit grips the outside of the nut and removes it without needing any key. This is the more common outcome now that many drivers lose both key and code.
Q · 04How much does key recovery cost?+
Q · 04
How much does key recovery cost?
Key sourcing and mobile extraction are quoted upfront on the call — depends on vehicle brand and lock condition. Call +44 7949 891689 for a live quote.
Q · 05Will you damage my alloys?+
Q · 05
Will you damage my alloys?
In >98% of cases, no. On the rare exception our insurance covers repair.
Q · 06Can I get a locking-nut-free vehicle?+
Q · 06
Can I get a locking-nut-free vehicle?
Yes — if you'd rather not have lockings at all, we can extract and replace with standard nuts. Insurance rarely requires lockings today.
