London, UK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/21/2024 --Motorists are being hit with huge costs due to a simple mistake. A simple device known as a locking wheel nut is preventing motorists from having routine work carried out on their vehicles. A locking wheel nut or locking nut as otherwise known is a security device fitted to alloy wheels which prevents theft of your expensive alloys and tyres. Most cars are fitted with these devices and they usually consist of one locking wheel nut per wheel and a special key to remove them. The locking wheel nuts replace one standard wheel nut on each tyre. The key must be kept safe and in the vehicle at all times incase of an emergency or if the vehicle goes in for repairs. Not keeping the key in the vehicle will result in an unsightly charge to get a locking wheel nut removal service. This can become very costly depending on the type and style of locking wheel nut you have fitted but also if you are in an emergency and require an emergency mobile call-out service. It may also be challenging to find a locking wheel nut removal company who is able to perform such a task as after all these devices are designed to not be removed without the appropriate special tool.

Locking wheel nuts prevent the theft of your expensive alloys and tyres and without them you would leave yourself susceptible to theft of your wheels and its for this reason that you require locking wheel nuts in the first place. Some top tips for keeping your locking wheel nut safe are to always ensure you get your key back after any work is done to your vehicle and to ensure you know where it is at all times and in the vehicle incase of an emergency. It is also important to make sure you receive your locking wheel nut key when purchasing a vehicle new or used. As long as you follow the guidance above you should be pretty safe as long as a repair garage doesn't over tighten them, but that can sometimes be out of your control.
