Locking wheel nut assistance in Torrin.
A locking key left elsewhere can prevent a tyre change at a Torrin property or roadside stop. Check that the correct key is with the vehicle before requesting standard fitting, and explain if it is damaged or does not engage. A loose spare tyre does not remove the need to release the wheel.

Torrin, in practical terms
Address a locking-key problem before travelling the route
Torrin lies on the B8083 route between Broadford and Elgol, where the journey and final approach matter to a tyre request. A car in Torrin is not at the Elgol pier or back in Broadford, even if one of those places is the intended destination. Give the actual vehicle pin, approach direction and property entrance where applicable. The team can then assess access and discuss an appointment around the car rather than the onward itinerary.
The approach to your vehicle.
- State that the vehicle is in Torrin rather than at either end of the route.
- For a B8083 stop, include your direction of travel and a precise pin.
- Describe property access and space without proposing a passing place as a fitting site.
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.

Tell the team about the missing key before the booking is accepted. Removal assistance needs its own equipment and condition assessment, and any extra scope or charge must be agreed before a fitter attends.
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.
