Kylerhea, in practical terms
Check the wheel key before the Kylerhea approach
Kylerhea is on the east coast of Skye, south of Kyleakin, reached by a separate road approach from the main route or by the Glenelg ferry when operating. Be clear that the car is on Skye rather than across the water on the mainland. A nearby place on a map may require a different journey in practice. Share the actual position and property entrance so dispatch can assess the route without assuming that a ferry crossing is available.
The approach to your vehicle.
- Confirm whether the vehicle is in Kylerhea on Skye or at Glenelg on the mainland.
- Provide the actual road or property approach, not a straight-line position across the water.
- Check ferry information with its operator rather than assuming a crossing for the fitter.
What this service involves.
A missing locking wheel nut key can prevent a tyre change from going ahead. Let the booking team know before a fitter travels. Photos of the wheel, locking nut and any damaged key help assess whether assistance can be arranged. Availability of equipment and the condition of the wheel fixing determine the next step; removal is not promised for every vehicle.
Good to know
Your Kylerhea tyre visit.
The key is with someone across the crossing; can fitting still proceed?
Tell dispatch before agreeing the appointment and discuss how it can reach the car. Removal without the key requires separate assessment, and a ferry or traveller schedule cannot be assumed as part of the visit.
Can you guarantee removal without the key?
No. The vehicle, nut design, condition and available equipment must be assessed. The team will explain whether assistance can be offered and any limitations before agreeing the job.
Is locking wheel nut assistance included in fitting?
It should not be assumed to be included. Tell the team before booking so any additional work, availability and price can be discussed.
How is arrival time checked for Kylerhea?
