Help, Wheel lock key lost!

nusevad · 08-24-2009, 12:51 PM

Hey guys, well just so happens after i put my new wheels on and Im about to drop my car...I cant find the damn wheel lock key!!!!

Looked everywhere in my car, at my friends place where we swapped the wheels and cant find that fcker.

These are OEM wheel locks, so I went to my BMW dealership and the guy at parts was clueless on how to order a replacement key using the special code provided with the set. So i went to service and they said they can have their tech guy go through all the keys to find the right one so I can swap to regular lug bolts, but that will cost me $70 +tax!

Has anyone encountered this problem before or does anyone know a competent dealer that is not trying to rip their customers off? Any help is appreciated.

yeah it happened to me! i went to paul miller and told them the problem, and they have a master key and did it for free!
that dealer just wants to rip you off bro, "they have to go through keys and find the right one" hahahaha BS !!!
and if u ever want to order a new key just take the card there with you with the CODE, and they will order one for you as well! but i dont think the key its free!

good luck

Well thats good to know, however i did take the card to Difeo and they guy had no idea what to do, so thats why they said "pay $70 and we will take it off for you."

so yeah just head to paul miller, takes 5 minutes

Got my wheel locks off at Park Ave!! They (Bernard) were nice enough to do it for free too, unlike Difeo that needed me to pay 70+tax for the job.

Paul Miller was going to be my back up since its a bit further away.

But im happy these bitches are finally off and now i can go ahead with the drop.

Matt PM me!

call park ave service before you go(paul miller is kinda far even though they seem like the best option.)
