As above...

A garage has over tightened the locking nut and i can't get it off and snapped two keys in the process.

Anyone used the Laser locking wheel nut remover kit?
 
If it has the free spinning outer ring, most wheel removal kits struggle to do anything. Your best bet is taking it to a garage that has the key (if original they may have a spare and can use it along with a hammer and breaker bar to free it off.). Or chiseling away at it which takes a while. If it is just over tightened and still in tact I would avoid destroying it and trying to resolve it with another key.
 
I know someone who had the same issue, but their fix was a little agricultural...
Get a socket smaller than the nut and smash it on with a hammer, hey presto, looking wheel nut remover. ?
