Default Locking wheel nuts

Probably a good idea to have some spare bolts and remove the locking nuts when you take your car anywhere near a garage. I had the same problem myself when getting front tyres on. F***ing p***k at the garage blew them off with a windy gun and shattered everything off down to the end of the bolt head almost. Took it to a bloke who hammered a special toothed socket onto what was left. Came straight off ok, but cost me £25 for a new set. Garage waived the tyre fitting charge in the end as he tried to tell me they just broke!!!
