ANSWERS BEFORE YOU CALL

Missing Wheel Lock Key questions

Is wheel lock removal included in a normal tire change?

No. A missing or damaged wheel lock key creates additional work and requires separate confirmation.

Can every wheel lock be removed roadside?

No. Wheel design, lock condition, available clearance, and installation torque determine whether roadside removal is practical.

Should I hammer a socket onto the lock myself?

That can damage the wheel, lock, and tools. Call and describe the lock before making the problem worse.
