Took my car to America tires today and they somehow messed up the key to my wheel locks. I have the key still but the insides are all messed up... Any other place to get other the dealer?

The dealers should have a master set of keys. Without a key, if they stripped the key you'll have to find another way to remove the bolt then replace with a new set of lockers...but I wouldn't spend money for the lockers - you'll see that when you see how easy it is to remove the bolt without a key.

Yeah they stripped the key but the bolts are all fine. Funny thing is I also have a set of bolts and another key sealed in the trunk. Key doesn't match but found it kind of odd that there's another set in there.

Wow! My key has a few numbers stamped on it so figured they can find it with those digits.

If no key hammer on a socket remove with ratchet. Replace with regular lug. These things only keep honest people from stealing.

Should have went to the parts department, they don't charge for labor . I had the same problem and got one quickly from a dealer, but I think the cost for it was like $27!
Dealer is the only place, unless you could order it off the number from Suncoast or something.

Gonna try to take off the 4 locks off with a hammer and replace them with the other 4 in my trunk. Worst case I have to buy a key either way if it doesn't work.

Should come off pretty easy if they torqued correctly..it is only 96 ft. lbs.

As another suggested...put a regular lug bolt....thieves can do just what you are doing

Good luck..

Came right off with a little pressure and replaced. Sounds like the keys need to be reinforced a bit...
