Shounldnt see why not, they might charge you, and ask them how they are going to do it, dont wanna cause damage to your alloys.

At my work we usually hammer on a socket thats about the same size and try it that way, or just use the old locking wheel nut keys we have lying about.

most tyre fitters have sockets designed for removing locking wheels nuts.........but if there not used properly they will damage your wheels...
