I went to Les Schwab early today to get this nail that was embedded into my tire out and when they were done, I asked them where did they put my wheel lock since I couldn't find it. They went back to look for it, but it was missing. All they did was apologize. Is there anything I can do about it? Will Scion give me or sell me another one? I know each wheel lock has a unique pattern to it.

 

tell them to buy you a new set, im sure they sell them. the les schwab's here do.

 

but doesn't each wheel lock have a unique pattern to it? if i could just go out and buy one, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of a wheel lock? it's basically a key. not two keys are identical.

 

When you bought the wheel lock set you should have been given a card which you could send in to get another key lock which matches your pattern on your locks. At least that's what came with my wheel lock set that I bought from the dealership.

 

^ He speaks the truth! If you cant find the card then I dont know what you can do.

 

WHAT!?!??! what card? i didn't get a card? what does it look like? damn, i need to find it so i can install my injen cold air intake. it requires removing the wheels, but not only that, also for future removal of wheels.

 

the dealer should have master lock set for toyotas and scions
if they ahve urs they can take them off, without having to drill out the locks
make les schwab pay for it all

 

Don't worry about it I think there is only like 25 patterns I know I had a master set when I was working.

 

Yes there is only 25 patterns +/- 3
Wheel locks in reality are worthless. If someone really wants to steal your wheels, they'll unbolt all the other lug nuts and then just jump on the tire/rim until the wheel stud breaks(obviously the car has to be jacked in the air)

Then not only are you out on your rims, but you also need new studs.

 

ohh, wait, they lost the actual key. hmm, i know snap on makes a wheel lock removal tool,
