The key is somewhere else
Arrange for the correct key to be at the vehicle for the appointment. Check that the person meeting the fitter can access it. Do not assume another driver’s similar-looking key will fit your locking nuts.
A Chorlton tyre booking can be delayed if the locking wheel nut key is missing or stored elsewhere. Check its location before attendance, and tell TMA if it is damaged or unavailable. A photograph of the nut helps assess the assistance and likely work required.
Budget from £120 · Mid-range from £140 · Premium from £180

A similar appearance does not establish compatibility. Use the correct key for the vehicle or discuss the missing-key problem with TMA. Do not force an unsuitable key onto the nut.

Stop as soon as it is safe after a flat tyre and avoid driving on a deflated tyre. Do not attempt tyre work in an unsafe traffic position. For a live motorway lane or where you cannot exit safely, follow the Highway Code and call 999 for the police.
Consult the Highway Code breakdown guidance and TyreSafe’s puncture assessment guidance. Online answers and photographs cannot confirm a damaged tyre’s internal condition.
