Dispatch can then assess the approach, working space and appointment options for that position.
The approach to your vehicle.

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.
